Spend LESS. Give MORE. <3

CHRIST-mas PICKS


1. Mocha Club tee- $20

This unisex tee was created by Mocha Club, an idea forged on the concept of giving up two mochas a month & putting the money you save ($7)
toward essential needs in Africa- food, water, education... HOPE. The tee reads, "I need Africa more than Africa needs me."What's especially cool about this tee is that you pick the project the $$$ goes toward.






This 100% cotton Gun-camera scarf is limited-edition from Invisible Children. ALL of the
proceeds from this scarf go toward IC's education and awareness programs to help end the war in Northern Uganda. Buy now with the special code "Bailout" and get $15% off.




3. Hopeline tee from TWLOHA- $15 (Reg. $20)

This tee from To Write Love on Her Arms 100% supports Hopeline- the 1-800-SUICIDE hotline. In the past ten years, Hopeline has answered more than 2.7 million calls. Give life this season by making sure someone will be there on the other end of those calls. Enter the code "RELXMAS" (Thanks Relevant mag!) to get the discount price on ALL TWLOHA clothing.


4. Starbucks Product RED - $4

Sometimes great things come in small packages. This holiday season, Starbucks is giving 5 cents back to the RED campaign toward aid for Africa on three exclusive drinks. Starbucks currently buys coffee from ten African countries. So grab a friend this Christmas and experience a delicious way to save lives.

5. Toms jacket- $48

This comfy hoodie comes complete with the clever imprint, "Drop TOMS, not Bombs." The phrase comes from a fav TOMS inside joke that got started when a man asked TOMS' Blake if it hurt the kids when his company
"dropped" the shoes. Blake laughingly replied that it did not hurt the kids since TOMS volunteers actually hand deliver the shoes.

Though the shoes won't be *directly* dropped---from overhead that is--- but the purchase of this hoodie does ensure a child in need will be given a pair of shoes.
