This is a friendly reminder that you have approximately twenty-six days left to complete your Christmas shopping and write a carefully thought out wish list for yourself to subtly (or not so subtly) hand to your loved ones. The giving season is upon us, the season that we identify as “the most wonderful time of the year” while singing along to carols and eating copious amounts of food. As we begin our festive prep we need to be mindful that Christmas can also be a time of struggle for many people. We’re all aiming to nail the Christmas list and give the perfect gift to your sibling or Secret Santa, but have you ever thought about giving a gift that gives back? Yes, that sounds like a tongue twister but it also an awesome concept that gives your person of choice a lovely gift while also giving back to someone who is less fortunate at this time of year.
Well what kind of gifts give back you say? check out our list of socially conscious Christmas gifts below and spread the festive joy:

With every purchase of Charity Pot, Lush donate 100% of the price (minus the taxes) to small, grassroots organisations to help them to continue the wonderful work that they do.
I can almost guarantee that there is a certain someone on your gift list that would swoon over a beautiful piece of jewellery. The Brave Collection pieces are handmade by Cambodian artisans who come from underprivileged backgrounds or suffer from disabilities. Not only will you be purchasing an eye-catching accessory you will also be providing job opportunities and providing a donation towards fighting human trafficking in Cambodia.
