Christmas Gifts Archives - Posh in Progress

Are you looking for gift ideas that also make a difference? All of the brands below allow you to also have a positive impact with your purchasing power. I like to look at these gift choices as gifts that give back. I personally feel so good when I can not only get a great gift for someone on my list while also knowing that a portion of my dollars spent on the purchase will go to help a good cause. If you're looking for socially conscious gift ideas, check out some of my favorites below. Gifts That Give Back Bedfellow A percentage of every Bedfellow purchase goes to Project Renewal, in efforts to provide shelter and a bed for people experiencing homelessness in New York City. Dream with Bedfellow. While quality bedding and blackout curtains are the usual go-to rest essentials, this just-launched wellness brand started thinking about sleep hygiene, and what we put on before dozing off (see: old fashioned button downs and hot flannels). Bedfellow is introducing better sleepwear for better sleep - premium options made from supremely soft, comfort-driven fabrics that naturally enhance rest. These blue light-blocking glasses can be worn before bed to help the body get the deep restorative sleep it needs! True Cubes True Cubes founders are mentoring the next generation of innovations on how to turn a side hustle into a viable business, without leaving their day jobs. They are taking their years of brand development to mentor other start up brands. This holiday season taste your drink, not your ice. True Cubes partners with the force of Mother Nature to make ice so clear it disappears. How do they do it? Smart design that mimics nature. The True Cubes team utilized a design to mimic how nature freezes water – perfectly clear. With a reusable four-cube silicone tray, True Cubes provides professional-quality, crystal clear ice right at home, using any freezer. Ice cubes, just like at high-end craft bars, can now be made and enjoyed easily at home for your favorite drink or cocktail. Available here. Willow & Grace Designs Each purchase from Willow & Grace Designs helps to ensure fair and safe labor practices, improve livelihoods, and empower workers to invest in their communities. Willow & Grace proudly partners with St. Jude Children’s Hospital, Make-A-Wish Foundation, and Shriners Hospitals for Children. A family-owned and operated business, Willow & Grace Designs creates premium floating wall shelves, featuring a smart-bracket installation system for a clean, effortless organization solution. Grandfather, John Gill, went from building furniture to running a family company with his kids Suzanne and Sean. The company is truly a labor of love and family all the way down to the name, which honors Suzanne and Sean’s daughters, Willow and Grace. You can shop here. Delicora Jewelry If you’re looking for jewelry gifts that give back, this is one of my favorites. For every piece sold, they donate 20 meals for fighting hunger through Feeding America. Delicora presents their latest Pearl Power Collection just in time for holiday shopping. They designed the collection to combine classic pearls' refined and elegant essence with down-to-earth boho elements. Whether you’re in a chunky sweater or little black dress, these unique pieces provide the perfect touch. This unique collection is made using hypoallergenic 14k gold filled and sterling silver materials for even sensitive skin to enjoy. Don Pablo Coffee Don Pablo Coffee is Sharing Certified. They have created a framework for sharing a percentage of sales with growers, and in some cases others in the supply chain. Then, when program benchmarks are reached in the areas of labor, sustainability, environment, and quality, they could achieve significant mutually-beneficial results. Learn more here. Enjoy Don PabloCoffee’s Bourbon-infused roast, crafted in small batches that creates an intense, full-bodied blend that definitely isn’t your average cup of joe. Available to shop here.
