17 Gifts For The Holidays That Give Back

Gifts that give back are always a good idea. After all, what's better than a gift that you know helped other people? It's like giving two gifts in one.

We've put together a list of gifts that pledge a donation with every purchase, or come from non-profit companies. Some come from big brands you probably were planning on shopping at this holiday season, and some from smaller companies who have developed a community of supporters. Their missions range from helping the environment, to providing essentials to low income families, to helping women in developing countries afford a college education.
