The end of every Christmas movie likes to remind us that the
holidays aren't actually about the extravagant light displays,
the indulgent treats, or the number of gifts we receive - it's
simple kindness and the spirit of giving that really count. As
overdone this sentiment is, it wouldn't be a proper
cliché if it didn't hold a bit of truth.
Other than volunteering with or sending direct donations to
nonprofits that make our world a better place, one way you can do
your part this holiday season is to support businesses that are
doing the same. If you're gifting your loved ones, it'll only
benefit more parties if you buy from companies with a social and
environmental conscience.
Giving back is woven into the business and daily operations of
these 29 companies. When you buy a gift here, you're also helping
to plant a tree, improve livelihoods in underserved areas, save
an animal, and many more charitable initiatives.
Learn more about how the following brands give back all year
long.
