Christmas Gift Guide: Fashion + Compassion (Part 1)

As an extension of our Fashion + Compassion series, we wanted to give you girls a gift guide that will make it easy for you to find unique and fair trade gift items that also empower the women who create them. Each of of the following companies empower the artisans by providing them with jobs and dignity. We hope you find some truly unique Christmas gifts that change women’s lives in the process!

The Giving Keys exists to employ those transitioning out of homelessness to engrave recycled keys that get sold and shared around the world. Each key necklace is unique and carries a message like HOPE, STRENGTH, DREAM or COURAGE. When the wearer of the key encounters someone else who needs the message on the key, they give it away and then tell us their story.
