I think this might be one of my all-time favourite Gift Guides to share. There’s nothing better than finding a gift that not only is amazing to receive under the Christmas tree but also a gift that gives back in some way, shape or form. I have sifted through a ton and sites and brands and compiled a roundup of 10 items that do exactly that!
The best part about this gift guide is the fact that these items can be purchased for men, women, AND kids! The beanie from Love Your Melon comes in a variety of colours and sizes to keep your entire family warm over the holidays, the sweaters from Everlane also come in women and men’s sizes and the electric toothbrush from Bruush (great for the whole family!) comes in black, pink, or white!
Check out the list below to find out how each of these companies give back!
1. Beanie | 2. Copper Straws | 3. Bracelet | 4. Sweater | 5. Leopard Slip-Ons | 6. Coffee | 7. Stacked Rings | 8. Print | 9. Bra | 10. Electric Toothbrush
1. Beanie
Fifty percent (50%) of net profit from the sale of all Love Your Melon products is given to support charitable programming through the Love Your Melon Fund and the nonprofits they support. Love Your Melon helps to create therapeutic experiences and fund charitable programming initiatives for children and families battling cancer.
2. Copper Straws
These copper straws are the perfect replacement for your plastic straws in your home! Not to mention, for every product purchased, United by Blue removes one POUND of trash from our world’s oceans and waterways. Click here to see how many pounds they’ve removed to date!
3. Bracelet
With the purchase of these adorable bracelets, Blue + Stone donates 10% of the purchase price to Girl Up, a campaign of the UN Foundation, that helps fund access to and education for the 130 million girls out of school around the world.

4. Sweater
I LOOOOVE this sweater (so cozy and perfect for these fall days!) and the 100% Human Collection from Everlane! For every 100% Human product sold, Everland donates $5 towards the ACLU.
5. Leopard Slip-Ons
Toms has always been such a generous company. For around 13 years Toms has donated a pair of shoes for every purchase and has given away almost 100 MILLION shoes. Going forward they are dedicated to giving away $1 for every $3 they make! Find out more, here!
6. Coffee
This delicious coffee (with notes of dark chocolate, brown sugar, and pomegranate) not only tastes amazing but by purchasing La Rosas coffee you’re helping over 400 Colombian prioritize gender equality and allowing them to take on leadership positions on coffee farms. Supporting a gender equity project focused on the empowerment of women, their family unit and the increase in capacity and quality of Arabica coffee in a region that previously repressed women and denied them access to credit and ownership
7. Stacked Rings
These stacked rings are made by an artisan in Kenya! The company, SOKO, which sells all of this incredible handmade jewelry helps small-scale artisans in Kenya by providing a platform where they can have their products sold by international department stores, independent boutiques, and online retailers resulting in improved artisan business and safety practices, skill development and quality.
8. Print
This adorable Print from Cuddle + Kind makes for the sweetest decor in any little one’s room. Not to mention, 1 print provides 5 meals to children in North America and around the world!
9. Bra
ThirdLove bras are my absolute FAVOURITE bras for a few reasons. They are beautiful, comfortable, and they have also partnered with renowned organizations such as I Support the Girls, Soles4Souls, Good360, and St. Anthony’s to donate bras to help women make powerful life changes. To date, Third Love has donated over $20M in bras!!
10. Electric Toothbrush
If you haven’t heard of Bruush electric toothbrushes then you are missing out! They come in a variety of colours and have multiple settings for all of your teeth cleaning needs! Bruush has also partnered with A Reason to Smile (ARTS), a non-profit organization dedicated to improving oral health in developing nations. For every brush head refill they ship, they donate a toothbrush, toothpaste and fluoride treatment to a person in need.
