It’s that time of year where joy is contagious and gratitude is evident. There’s a sense of excitement as we anticipate what the New Year will bring. There’s a feeling of home when we attend holiday parties and sip warm drinks. In the midst of a season of receiving, it’s also a time for giving. So, instead of creating a gift guide we have decided to create a “Give” Guide filled with six organizations you can give to or purchase give-back products from. If you’re still puzzled about what to get that special someone today, choose an organization below and give on their behalf and let them know what their “gift” went to! Each charity has been hand selected by us and we’re excited to tell you about them. If you’re interested in donating click the link for each organization below!
Direct Relief works internationally to equip doctors and nurses with life-saving medicines for vulnerable communities. When disasters strike, Direct Relief responds immediately to get medical resources where they need to be in order to save lives.

I love the idea of giving back during the holidays. I prefer to volunteer my time myself, but anything’s good, as long as you’re doing what you can! 🙂
