6 Great Charity Gifts Ideas: Gifts That Give Back And Make A Difference

As Ruth Carter Stapleton beautifully said: “Christmas is most truly Christmas when we celebrate it by giving the light of love to those who need it most.” If you are scouring the internet for simple ways to give back and show support to those in need by purchasing charity gifts for Christmas, we’ve got your holiday shopping list covered.   

Not only will these selections make your Christmas a little brighter, but your smiles wider and hearts fuller. No, it doesn’t necessarily involve a monetary donation.  

Beauty Daily compiled a Christmas gift guide full of covetable presents that also give back to charitable causes: from gift-with-purpose limited sets to brands donating to food banks, humanitarian, and environmental charities.   

Christmas gifts that give back   

Many great charity gifts in the market, whether it’s beauty, fashion, tech, home, food, or anything in between, are tied to a worthy charity. Or, they have signed up for a deserving positive impact pledge, which you can purchase and spread to fam and friends while donating to a noble cause.   

Here we listed six of our great charity gift favourites.  

The Statement Silk Scrunchie Gift Set, £35

Although it’s a 90s hair trend accessory, scrunchies are still cool, so giving them as a present for someone special this Christmas will surely flatter hearts. Not only it is a celeb go-to hair tie these days, but we also love Scrunchies by The Silk Collection because unlike traditional hair ties which tug on your hair, causing hair damage and breakage, these large silk scrunchies are made from natural silk fabric, which reduces friction to prevent split ends and hair damage.  

In addition, this London-based luxury lifestyle brand pledges to give 10% of every sale to the Mental Health Charity, Mind, which provides free mental health information and support to those in need.  

 Clarins x FEED limited-edition Gift-With-Purpose (GWP) set   

Gifts that give back like the recently concluded Clarins x FEED limited-edition Gift-With-Purpose (GWP) program which takes place every September make a great resource for charity gifts that creates a lifetime impact in children’s lives. 

The powerful partnership aims to fight world hunger and poverty with every purchase of £75. You’ll receive a complimentary Clarins x FEED GWP set which includes a FEED tote bag or pouch filled with five Clarins’ bestsellers. Each gift represents seven meals provided by Clarins, via Feed’s giving partners (the UN World Food Programme, No Kid Hungry, and Akshaya Patra) on your behalf.

Reading in the library candle by Save The Children, £10 

Candles make such a perfect cosy Christmas gift. They add warmth and a homey feel to the cold wintry weather, and lucky your candle recipient. They will enjoy the lovely scent of black tea, leather, the subtle aroma of tobacco leaves, and a hint of clementine with this beautiful Thomas Street hand-poured glass candle, which burns for approximately 40 hours. Perfect to be lit during me-time with a warm cuppa and curling up with a great read.   

100% of profits from every product goes towards helping change the lives of children worldwide.  

Bella Freud ‘Peace and Love’ T-shirt, £25  

If your recipient is a statement tee wearer, they will love this Bella Freud ‘Peace and Love’ T-shirt, £25 from War Child, a UK-based charity for children affected by conflict. War Child teamed up with a stellar line-up of designers to produce a capsule collection of T-shirts. This version is by London-based brand Bella Freud.  

With each purchase, a donation of £6.25 will proceed to War Child. This will help reach war-affected children and support them through recovery.   

Choose Love Hot Food, £15 

If you want to share a hot meal with refugees and displaced people during the festive season, you can purchase Hot Food for £15 at Choose Love’s charity online shop.
