One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is spreading God’s love through gift giving! Most of the time, I’m not a huge fan of our consumerist culture which insists that I just need to buy more to be happy.
But…
I do believe that our consumerism can be redemptive! When we are thoughtful and intentional about how we spend our dollars, we can support businesses that are seeking to make an impact and to empower others.
I had so much fun assembling this gift guide for you from companies that are making a difference. Some are fair trade, some employ trafficked women, some provide jobs to women in underdeveloped countries, some give a portion of their profits to good causes, some are ecologically friendly. When you shop at these companies, not only are you spoiling your friends and family, you are also choosing to make the world a better place. Happy shopping!
