This holiday season, we are focusing on gifts that give back. To you and to the planet. If there is ever a time to think about sending love to both local and global community, now is that time. It is a pleasure to feature pieces from staple resources year over year and highlight their missions as possible ways to give in more ways this season. May it be one full of cheer and wishing everyone all the best for the new year!
Amour Vert – Love of All Things Green!
Amour Vert has partnered with American Forests for their Tees for Trees program, where theft plant a tree in North America for every T-Shirt sold. Since 2010, they have planted over 370,000 trees, and their tees are the perfect answer for your friend who’s looking for a classic closet staple. Learn more about their mission here.

Patagonia – Leading by Example
Not a new brand by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s obvious why Patagonia has such a good reputation not only for its quality products, but also for its values. Patagonia has been donating to environmental charities since 1985, and continues to do so with their founder’s charity, 1% for the Planet. Nowadays, 1% of Patagonia’s annual sales get donated to environmental groups across the globe, and they urge others to do the same. Learn more about their mission here.
