Instead of handing over your hard-earned cash to a big corporate giant, you’re looking for ways to give back — even if it’s in small doses.
Online shop Namely Newborns (founded by two grandmothers, an interior designer and the co-founder of the Miami Children’s Museum) offers personalized gifts from artisans near and far. Colorful ABC quilts are handcrafted by women in rural Vietnam as part of Vietname Quilts, a community development non-profit organization. The cotton baby blankets are washable, and may be customized with baby’s name and birthdate.
You can feel a little less guilty splurging on your BFF’s baby shower gift knowing that it goes toward a good cause.
