Give Gifts That Give Back!

The Women’s Peace Collection was recently featured in the Forbes Woman Gift Guide – Give Gifts That Give Back.  Author of the Gift Guide, Meghan Casserly, states that “Philanthropic gift-giving is a holiday trend this season.”  She goes on to say, “the recession and the resulting loss of jobs have hit millions of Americans where it hurts. It’s not surprising then that, in lieu of conventional gifts, philanthropic gift giving is a resounding trend this holiday season. But is it apropos to give an eco-friendly pair of shoes to a nephew who really, really wants a Game Boy? Will your co-workers turn their backs on you if, instead of the usual Starbucks gift cards you normally pass out, you buy a small herd of goats for an African family in their names? Is it OK if the gift you give means more to someone far away than the person who receives it? In the true spirit of holiday giving, we think so.

The benefits are three-fold: The giver feels good about supporting a cause he or she cares about; the recipient gets a unique present with the added bonus of some residual feel-good; and the gift goes on to benefit anything from a family in need, to an animal in crisis, or the environment.”
