CHRISTMAS GIFTS THAT KEEP ON GIVING

IIP2The continued growth of ethical & socially responsible brands means you no longer have to buy a village a virtual goat to take part in charitable gifting. This Christmas, it's fashionable to shop for a cause. From  wonderful initiatives by big brands like GENERAL PANTS, COTTON ON & TOMS to much smaller, but equally as inspirational causes like that of the INTERNATIONAL PRINCESS PROJECT & TINY REVOLUTIONARY, it's never been so easy to buy cool stuff that does good.  Some of these items are created by artisans around the world providing jobs and long term solutions, while others donate proceeds from sales. I encourage you to click through to read how each one is making a difference. Peace & love seems to be trending and shopping never felt so good. xo 141106_GENERALPANTS_givepeace_JezSmith_08_380AAA-1_EDIT_PIPEDWARDSIPP1mama
