Holiday Gift Guide 2018: Travel Gifts That Give Back

As more people are shopping with their conscience, more companies are supporting causes and giving back to those in need.

This holiday season, it’s easy to use your purchasing power for good.

It’s also easy to rationalize buying more and throwing in a few treats for yourself since all of these items have a charitable component. Just think of if as making a donation - minus the tax deduction.
