Gifting feels good, but not as good as charity gifting.We rounded up our favorite presents with a purpose so you can feel even better when checking off your nice list...

Go brandless. A bunch of HQ’rs are all about this, err, brand. Pick the Bundle Box

to gift all the favorites. PS: for every online purchase, Brandless donates a meal to Feeding America.

For when you want to show your support...

Insert literal support. These Classic T-Shirt Bras are comfortable (read: have memory foam) and come in half sizes to make sure the fit is right. For every one you buy, Third Love is donating one to victims of the California wildfires.

For when it’s never too late to make a change…

For when you exclusively use Amazon for gifting…

Smile. Because you can help a cause while you’re at it. With AmazonSmile, you shop as you normally would, but with the added bonus that the 'Zon will donate 0.5% of the purchase of eligible products to the charity of your choice.

For when you want a gift that matters...

Get your presents on lock. These mini key earrings are from The Giving Keys, a company that employs people transitioning out of homelessness. So far, they've created almost 140,000 hours of work.

For when you want to teach your niece or nephew something good...

Start in-kind.

provides 10 meals to children around the world. So far, they’ve given over five million meals. You can pick between mermaids, polar bears, foxes, deer, and more. Go wild.

For when you see someone else doing good...

Go for the assist. Do it with Giving Assistant. It’s a platform that helps you shop for a cause. When you sign up, you earn cash back while you shop. Then you can donate some (or all) of those dollars to a non-profit of your choice.
