Gifts that Give Back
Tis the season of giving! Why not give a gift that keeps on
giving?
Today,
so many companies are teaming up with organizations to spread awareness about
important issues and raise money for those in need. This holiday season, by
giving one gift you not only are making a loved one happy, you’re doing a good
deed for society.
I
have compiled a list of gifts that allows you to not only give great presents,
but also feel good about spending the cash!
For mom- Pottery Barn’s Etched Mercury
Spiced Vanilla Filled Votives, Candlepots, or Etched Mercury Rose Candlepot.
These candles range from $19.50 to $29.50 and benefits St. Jude Children’s
Research Hospital.

gift and your loved one will be satisfied the money went to a good cause.
