Fashion

We love these products, and we hope you do too. E! has affiliate relationships, so we may get a small share of the revenue from your purchases. Items are sold by the retailer, not E!.

‘Tis the season to be giving. And while half the fun of gift-hunting is finding the perfect present, it feels even better to buy products that give back. Whether it’s helping the homeless, empowering others, or planting trees, there are gifts that benefit whatever charity you’d like to support. From Toms and Tatcha to Feed, Farm Rio and more, we’ve rounded up gifts you’ll feel great about giving—or keeping!

This brand is a Gen Z favorite for good reason: Ivory Ella donates 10% of all of their net profits to Save the Elephants and has raised over $1.6 million to date. This stylish puffer is made of 100% recycled nylon, and is also available in an equally on-trend Splatter Tie Dye version. Both options come in sizes XS-XXL. And Ivory Ella is offering FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $65.

Toms Black Fair Isle Knit India Slippers

Toms proudly supports giving partners across a variety of impact initiatives. When you purchase a Toms product, you can also pick an issue area that you stand for, and your purchase helps direct the brand’s giving to the issue area you choose. With high-traction soles and extra cozy lining, it’s easy to see why these indoor-outdoor slippers make the perfect gift.
