Hi there - I’m Ace, DoneGood’s Community Support Specialist! 

Since I started working at DoneGood, my gift purchasing has become more intentional. I used to be the auntie who got you whatever makes the most noise or the friend who grabbed a bottle of your favorite spirit. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still that girl from time to time - but not this holiday season.

And thanks to our Shop for Good Sale - I can save money on gifts that protect people and the planet. 

My Holiday Shopping List: Gifts that Give Back

Wall Basket Set 

Handwoven in Haiti, this set is a simple way to contribute to meaningful change while adding a beautiful display to your home decor. Vi Bella, which means “beautiful life”, empowers artisans in Haiti and Mexico to create beautiful lives for themselves and their families. Their products are made with locally-sourced ingredients and by artisans who are gaining skills and confidence through steady employment.

Umoja Sling Bag

Aside from the color of this Umoja Sling Bag, I love that it’s made with 100% Fair Trade cotton and with Fair Trade practices. Not only am I supporting a Black and woman-owned business, I’m also helping to provide education and jobs for women and girls in Kenya. Because of the causes Ecodunia supports and the size - I think it’s the perfect gift for a teacher or travel-lover 

Crescent Hoop Earrings (Gold) 

These classic hoops can be dressed up or down, which makes them perfect for several people on my list. They’re made with recycled sterling silver and plated with 18k gold! Astor & Orion used 3D technology to create their timeless pieces, which helps protect the local environment where their products are created!

Pipa Sustainable Hand-loomed Throw Blanket

I love a blanket that can be used regardless of the season, and Hilana’s hand loomed throw is just that! It can be used to snuggle up and watch a movie or for a beach day. On top of being versatile, this blanket is ethically made in Turkey with recycled cotton.

The Aspen Apple Watch Strap

This unique, handmade timepiece is vegan and made from recycled wood furniture. The Sustainable Watch Company stylish but classic products are plastic-free AND plants 10 trees with every order.

This list could go on and on, because we have thousands of sustainable and ethically-made items but I’ll let you do some of your own Shop for Good browsing! I hope you enjoy looking for gifts that give back for the amazing people in your life. Get something for yourself too - you deserve it!
