The TBD Holiday Gift Guide
Whether its bath soap, holiday-themed socks, or even that set of aromatic candles, the same stuff fills our stockings every year. But, with so many opportunities to give the gift of good, we think its time to channel all that holiday buying power into a new kind of shopping season.
Our annual wishlist of do-good favorites says it all. Why not get your family great gifts and help out a Kenyan village at the same time? Sounds like a holiday event we’ll all want to be present for.
