5 Places to Give for Giving Tuesday

We figured it could not have been more fitting than to return to The Guide on Giving Tuesday. We shopped till we dropped on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and today we give to the organizations, people, and places that mean the most to us. After the past month of tension and polarization, let's come back together, and give to those who deserve help and awareness. Below, we've rounded up five places worthy of a donation (or a purchase that helps send money or items to the right places). Tell us what you've gotten in the comments below! 

Possibly our favorite item on this list! OneHope donates 15 meals to a child in need with every bottle purchase. Time to pop some bubbly and toast to helping others! 

Catalyst, a nonprofit with a fabulous mission of breaking down barriers to career advancement for women all over the world. 

Shop The Giving Keys who support Chrysalis, a company that provides low-income and homeless individuals with the skills, experience, and self-confidence needed to secure permanent employment. 

Give Back Yoga Foundation. The Great Vibes Team loves us some yoga, and even more, we love what it can do for others. This foundation seeks to make yoga (and all of the benefits like processing trauma, relief of anxiety and depression, and self-efficacy) available to everyone.

"Back on My Feet recruits members at homeless and residential facilities around the country and begins with a commitment to run three days a week in the early morning. After 30 days in the program, members with 90% attendance earn the opportunity to move into the second phase of the program called Next Steps, which provides educational support, job training programs, employment partnership referrals and housing resources. 80% of individuals who start their program move onto the Next Steps phase."

We hope you have an excellent week! Xx.

Holiday Gift Guide :: for your brother who still asks for Hess trucks, eats all the homemade chocolate chip cookies, and adjusts your back every time he gives you a hug

For the moments he needs his beer to be classy.

Because he loves candles as much as you do, but he also is a manly man.

A money clip. Because wallets aren't as accessible, and he likes nice things.

Nerf footballs bringing childhood back in the best ways.

One year you bought him stainless steel ice cubes, and he thought they were rad,
so snag an ice wedge to compliment his Royal Crown.

Because you refuse to eat/cook it doesn't mean he can't enjoy some quality bacon.

Slippers to keep his feet warm since he moved to Pennsylvania, & it's cold up there.

Bonding over chocolate is kind of your thing. And the chips & chocolate combo rocks.

A flannel because it keeps him warm & stylish and serves as your long distance hug.

Holiday Gift Guide :: for your dad who says words like hipster and coolio, rocks suede saddle shoes, and changed your new car's flat tire even though it was past midnight

New York City guides, because even though he lives in Florida right now, he loves the big city.

Because even though he thinks time is arbitrary, the rest of the world doesn't, so this way he knows the exact actual time. The G-Shock watch adjusts constantly via signals from the atomic transmitter.

A donation in his name to World Bicycle Relief, which provides simple, sustainable bikes for people in the developing world, using the power of bicycles to change lives and communities.

Because he doesn't need to have all his keys jangling like a janitor.

Because you used to bond over this moldy cheese and
he could use some fancy seasonings in his life.

A grippy pad for the car that holds his phone in place for tunes and GPS without extra setup.

Because he's an avid movie watcher & loves documentaries. Why not?

A bike horn with over 20 different sound effects,
because he'd actually use it, and he talks about his bike like it's his bff.

To keep on with the bike theme, this bike light hooks to a spoke and makes an awesome blurred red light, perfect for nighttime rides if he doesn't get out before sundown.
