The holidays are a time of giving. So this year instead of picking up a last-minute tschocke for your coworker or granny, why not give them something with a little more meaning?

Whether you’re shopping for a beauty gift for a makeup-lover or a toy for a sweet little tot, there’s a plethora of fabulous holiday prezzies that donate either some or all of sale proceeds to charity. So you can give your loved ones awesome presents and give back to socially conscious causes at the same time. How cool is that?

Here are some charitable gift ideas to get you in the holiday shopping spirit!
