Here’s a list of some of my favorite socially conscious gift ideas!

1. The Bella Hat by Krochet Kids (This hat is helping to empower and employ the people of Uganda) 2. Cranberry Joy Hand Cream from The Body Shop (They help raise funds and awareness for many social issues such as human trafficking) 3. Thatcher Sunglasses from Warby Parker (They partner with groups around the world to make eyewear something everyone can have access to) 4. Toxic Charity by Robert D. Lupton (This is an AMAZING book bringing attention to the reality that without follow-up and research we may be hurting those we try and help) 5. Transit Issue Table Candle from Apolis Global (They seek to empower people through opportunity rather than charity and use a hands on model called “advocacy through industry”) 6. Hammered Brass Cuffs by Kora 7. Kiva Gift Card (Kiva believes poverty can be alleviated through the giving of small loans and provides people all over the world the chance to give loans to individuals without access to traditional banking systems) 8. Transit Issue Ipad Case from Apolis Global
