It’s that time of year again… but this time the year is 2020. With all of the stress, sadness, and world events getting us down, the best we can do this holiday season is to find joy—and give it. And the only feeling better than watching your mom, significant other, or BFF open up a gift that you picked just for them, is if that gift packs a double-punch and supports a cause you both care about, too. Whether you’re looking for a purse that provides school meals to children around the world, a pair of sneakers that supports frontline pandemic workers, or candles that help support refugee businesses, here are some great finds to add to your cart.
