Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! So grateful and thankful for this little corner of mine on the Internet and for YOU who support Adored by Alex and help me continue to do what I love every single day. It’s become a little Thanksgiving tradition of mine to kickoff holiday gift guides with a special gift guide featuring the best gifts that give back. Because in the spirit of Thanksgiving, why not buy someone a holiday gift that can also provide to someone that’s less fortunate!
I had a hard time narrowing down my choices in this gift guide, but I wanted to touch on something for everyone and every budget. Plus, there are some organizations in which the proceeds go towards that are lesser known than others. Whatever cause you might stand behind, I hope you’ll consider making a purchase to assist these organizations in doing some truly amazing work.
