2017 Top Ten Gifts (under $50) That Give

Hey, folks. I have decided to revive the tradition of a Black Friday list of top ten gifts that give (3 ways!) So, here it is. Enjoy your shopping from the comfort of your home and God bless you. 

1.       Vive la Revolution! These are the most gorgeous Revolution bracelets.  For $38 each (or 3 for $100), you can get a beautiful band and $10 goes to charities fighting Alzheimer’s. Find them at RivetRevolution.

2.       UNICEF has an immense market for goods from around the world and even tells you when you purchase one how many people you are helping. This beautiful wooden sculpture “Balanced Embrace” will provide enough polio vaccine to vaccinate 56 children. Find something beautiful from clothes to jewelry that meets your taste at market.Unicefusa.org.

3.       Hand knit gnome ornaments are sure to be the hit of your gift list, especially when they find out Melange works to empower rural women in Peru with the proceeds. All this and more at ShoppingforaChange.org.

4.       What do I tell my mother-in-law to get me every year? Socks. Why? Because they just disappear from our household by the dozen. So, I have a new favorite gift this year from Swapsocks. They will donate a pair when you buy four for just $20. Definitely works for me!

5.       I love these simple black journals on sale for $35 with the words “Create,” “Inspire,” and “Dream” on them. Today, on Black Friday only, if you spend $50, you get $10 off, so see if you can find a little something for you as well as a loved one!  Check out the Giving Keys, not just for unique key jewelry.

6.                   I’m not a coffee drinker, but I used to buy coffee every year for my mother who loved it so much. The dark roast and Christmas blend are on sale right now, but they also have liquor-infused versions at Fire Department Coffee, where part of the proceeds goes to firefighter and military charities. A great wake up call, starting at $12!

7.                   I found the most adorable greeting cards for animal lovers out there and a box is just $15.95.  If you have a pooch, you have to try Hooray for the Underdog. They have toys, too!

8.                   While we are talking about animals, the Animal Rescue Site has a ton of adorable gifts from slippers (free today with a purchase) to fleece jackets (just $19). They are having some major deals today, too!

9.                   OK, I usually have a handbag or some jammies on here, but I just like this dress from Indego Africa which helps women get training and money from handcrafting products for you. For just $40, it’s fabulous!  

10.               I know, there is a ton of different jewelry out there, but why not buy one that beautifies your wrist and helps fight poverty? Only through December, you can buy this beautiful charm bracelet and Alex and Ani will donate 20% of the purchase price to The One Campaigsn against poverty and disease. Right now, only $22.40 at Alex and Ani.
