Mother’s Day is coming and it’s the perfect time to honor the moms in our lives. This Mother’s Day consider making your gifts give in more ways than one.
It’s easy to disassociate ourselves from globally issues when we are living our everyday lives. But it should be no surprise that we live in a global economy. Where we spend our money matters.
How special is it when your gift can give in two ways? Celebrate the mother’s in your lives and impact the companies that are doing good work. From an artist in Wisconsin to refugees in Texas, when you shop with the companies in this post your money goes to directly supporting women.
Happy shopping!
