I love giving and receiving a charitable gift that allows you to honor and celebrate a friend or family member while supporting a great cause! There are tons of companies and products out there making a difference in the world, but here are my favorite gifts that give back for 2019! (Check out my past gifts that give back holiday picks from 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018!)
For the beauty lover
LASHFOOD Prime & Perfect This gift set includes LASHFOOD’s Collagen Lash Primer and Chamomile Makeup Eraser Pen. For every holiday set sold, LASHFOOD will plant a tree through its nonprofit partner, One Tree Planted.
For the pet lover
Rescue Pet Dish Towel Celebrate the love of a rescue pet (cat or dog) with a daily reminder and playful poem. Two dollars from the purchase price goes to Rescue City, a pet rescue and adoption non-profit in the New York City area.
For the best friend
Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips 2 Eleven fashion and beauty icons, including Jennifer Aniston and Amal Clooney, collaborated with Charlotte Tilbury to create collectible and refillable shades. The brand has pledged to donate £1 million of Hot Lips sales to the nonprofit Women for Women International, a charity helping women survivors of war rebuild their lives.

Adventurist Backpack Co. Whether for travel or everyday use, this backpack is a great option for the guy on your list. It also has a padded sleeve for a laptop. For every backpack that is purchased, 25 meals are provided to families in need across the country.
For the sweet tooth
Benevolent Brownies (also available in vegan) Is there anything better than chocolate and brownies? YES! Brownies for a cause! Greystone Bakery, the bakers of Benevolent Brownies, employ an open hiring model despite an employee’s history. They also provide a number of resources including child care, sustainability programs, community gardens, and workforce development. Did I mention Ben & Jerry’s exclusively uses these brownies in its ice cream?
For the one that’s always cold
Sackcloth & Ashes Cream and Neutral Stripe Throw Blanket A blanket is always a great gift because you can never have too many! Sackcloth & Ashes has a great mission to provide blankets to homeless shelters. For every blanket purchased, a blanket will be donated to a homeless shelter.
For the fitness fanatic
fp movement Free People’s active line has unique and quality athleisure for the the fitness fanatic on your list. One percent all of purchases of fp movement supports the nonprofit, Girls, Inc. Here are a few of my current favorite items in this line: leopard fleece jacket, pullover, and good karma leggings (I own these and love them!)
For the Nashville local
Root Nashville As Nashville experiences unprecedented growth, the city is rapidly losing trees. Root Nashville, a partnership between Metropolitan Nashville and the Cumberland River Compact are pledging to plant 500,000 trees in Nashville by 2050. Launching this week, you can give choose from 4 tree species to plant a tree in Nashville in the recipient’s honor. Once the tree is planted, the recipient can locate the tree via online mapping.
