Over the next few months, our calendars will booked with birthdays and few other usual suspect girlfriend gatherings, all of which will require us to bring cool, fashion-forward gifts.
When the time comes, not only will we be buying great gifts that we’re sure our friends will love, but we also intend to give back.
By choosing gifts that have a bigger goal—like giving back to the community, the environment or by supporting humanitarian missions—we can also help transform the life of a child, woman or family. And really, what’s not to love about that?
Here’s what we’ve got on our gift list this season. What’s on yours?
