Gift Guide || Gifts that give back

hi cheery loves! 

I'm sorry for being MIA last week but that strep I was afraid of getting kept me down for most of the week and the whole weekend. I had a weekend full of plans  and I only ended up getting to do one of the things on my list....pretty much a bummer! That being said, I didn't want to bore y'all with pictures of me in my jammies, or me taking mucinex or me drooling on my pillow soo I thought I'd share a gift guide. I wouldn't be a blogger if I didn't have at least ONE gift guide for y'all. Gifts that give back are my favorite! I LOVE having jewelry, a handbag or a tee shirt that I know is doing some good while I enjoy it in all of its cuteness!

 1|| Wear Your Label
Y'all know by now that mental health is something I am deeply passionate about, well this company is out to break stigmas so I am more than happy to help them out. They have great partners in the Mental Health community, such as the Semicolon Project and they are all doing huge things for a group of people that have my heart.

The Bracelet Project-  "Uniting fighters, survivors and supporters..it's a subtle reminder of strength"

2|| 31 Bits
This is a company created by college students to help the women in Uganda. 5 years later, they have created a program where each female employer "receives health education, finance training, counseling and business training." The women receive income, holistic care and a 5 year education where at the end they are prepared to be their own business owner. Added benefit, the jewelry is BEAUTIFUL!

3|| Love Your Melon-
These beanies are so stinkin' cute and I have been checking this company out for a few months now...at first it was the attractive beanie calling this hat lover but I quickly discovered this company is doing so much good that I had to investigate more. For every beanie you purchase, LYM gives 50% of net proceeds to CureSearch and the PinkySwear Foundation. Sidenote: If you know of a child in need of a beanie, you can have a hat requested to be sent to them in the hospital {love that part}!

 

This mocha one is definitely on my wish list! 

4|| Sevenly-
A graphic tee shirt {which are my favs!} where they have they have daily/weekly campaigns with a goal in mind where 7% or $7 of your purchase proceeds go to reach that goal. I love looser fits so the men's shirts are more my style, the women's are great for ladies that like a tighter fit. The cause for today is Knots of Love and a few of the shirts goes to a cause specifically everyday that never changes.

This shirt benefits Autism Speaks

 This is my favorite saying

A few more companies to touch on:
5|| I talked about Warby Parker last week where for every set of glasses you buy, they give a pair to someone in need.
6|| Everyone knows of TOMS by now. Buy a pair of shoes, they send a pair to someone in need.
7|| I love everything that To Write Love On Her Arms does for suicide prevention. Great company that deserves support with really cute items!

Let me know what companies you guys love that give back! Have y'all checked any of these out?!
