Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! I am so grateful for each and every one of you who have helped make this little spot on the Internet, what it is today. I wouldn’t be here today without y’all!

Because Thanksgiving falls on the regularly scheduled day for my seasonal gift guides, I wanted to create a special gift guide for today. This one was tougher to make and definitely pulled at my emotional, heartstrings.

These are the gifts that give back.

What a year it has been; for me, there is so much to be thankful for! The full list would be way too long for this post, but here are a few things I’m extremely grateful this year:

My fiancé, Rick. He has been a rock for me in the years since we’ve been dating, but this year especially. I cannot wait to marry the love of my life in less than two months.

My family, they’re also my everything. They, including Rick, are there for me in thick and thin. I wouldn’t be the gal I am today without them. Lucy, our Terrier mix rescue pup is definitely included in this as well.

I for one have been so very fortunate in my life and I really enjoy taking the time to give back to my community, charities or causes that have become near and dear to my heart. That’s why when I can gift to others gifts that give back, it’s definitely a purchase I’ll make over other items.

With these gifts that give back, I hope you find a few gift ideas that will not only please the recipient but also show a little heart to those in need or assistance or resources too.

Other notable Gifts that Give Back :

  • A comforter from The Company Store. For every comforter purchased, one is donated to a homeless child, see more here.
  • This year Patagonia has decided to donate ALL (100%) of their Black Friday proceeds to grassroots environmental groups. See more here.
  • Ribbon delivery charity santa ornament (a portion of the sales will go to a designated charity supporting AIDS awareness)

    I love nest candles! I didn’t realize they were doing this charity give-back for each purchase of that blue candle. Now I have more reason to buy it!
