Gifts that Give Back #GGMHolidayGiftGuide

By Heather

What do you give to the person who has everything? When I find myself in this position I like to find gifts that serve a purpose, gifts that give back. Even if you don’t consider yourself to be a philanthropist, it feels good to do for others, especially during the holidays.

Making a donation to a favorite charity in the recipient’s name is a lovely idea, but sometimes you feel like you want to give a material gift. Why not do both? We found a few organizations that offer lovely gifts that spread the wealth. Read on to find out more.
