We’ve been sharing our gift ideas over the past few days…but today we have a very special edition of our gift guide. These gifts let you give…and give again! Read on…

Feed Projects provides meals to disadvantaged children all over the world. Founded by Lauren Bush in 2007, the project seeks to provide tangible goods (like these) that folks can buy…and profits go to provide school meals. Each product is stamped with the number of meals it supplies.

Our picks…this scarf…

The Harriet tote…

The original, reversible FEED bag…

Love Your Melon gives 50% of profits from the sale of these hats to pediatric cancer research. Our pick…

This charcoal “melon warmer”…

Thistle Farms seeks to heal, empower and employ women who are the victims of trafficking and addiction. Proceeds from these products go directly into supporting the path to independence for belles who don’t even realize how #belleringin they are!!

Thistle Farms Three Trees candle…

The Thistle Farms Jet Set…

Love Heals Every Body!

Sweet Beginnings makes the beelove family of products and provides assistance to men and women who are putting their lives back together after incarceration.

We think someone on your list will “bee” thrilled with these picks…

The nourish & smooth body cream…

Some honey for your honeys…

We are certifiably looney over our fur babies…so we “dig” any organization that helps other fur babies in need. Found My Animal supports pet adoption with belle-ringin products for adopted animals of all sizes and persuasions and their people.

This leash is perfect for our stylish outings about town…

And the waxed cotton dog bed is the perfect spot for Spot…

Peace, love, adopt.

The Giving Keys is an organization that inspires “paying it forward” and supports the homeless. When you give someone a key…they are encouraged to model the behavior on the key and give it to someone who needs it. Our picks…

Strength, Love and Courage…

And, of course, you might just make a donation to a favorite organization…local, national, or worldwide…in honor of those you hold dear. Some local Greenville organizations we have on our minds…

Jasmine Road…

…helping women in Greenville who are the victims of trafficking and addiction

The Hope Fund of the Greenville Humane Society…

The Cancer Society of Greenville County…providing HOPE to local cancer patients…

Peace, love, happiness and hope to you and yours this holiday season!!

Over the holidays in San Francisco, a belle was sashaying down the street doing some window shopping (belles are professionals at window shopping) when a storefront positively stopped her in her tracks…glassybaby.

This belle just had to venture inside!!

The colors were mesmerizing…a color for every occasion, relationship or mood. When lit with a candle, they become even more beautiful…if that’s even possible! Here are some of our faves…for obvious reasons…

BFF…if the color doesn’t get ya, then surely the name will…and 10% of the proceeds go to Sloane Kettering for cancer research.

Princess…well this should require no explanation but we love their definition…”true, she gets to enjoy magic carpet rides and royal dances, but sometimes she must grow her hair three stories long, bite a poisoned apple or kiss a frog. We define a princess as one who can pass through great trials to find love.” We couldn’t have said it better!

Wingman…because every belle could use a good wingman now and then…and more importantly, every belle can be great wingman…all you gotta do is call.

The best part about glassybaby…beyond the beauty of their wares…is the beauty they pay forward by donating and partnering with multiple charities. Each piece purchased provides monies to countless needy charities. Don’t you want to start collecting them all?

They can also be used as small vases …

Swooning!!

And now they even make drinking glasses…the proceeds of which go to support veterans affairs, helping veterans in need all year round.  This is a new belle collection in the making we don’t mind telling you…given that we’ve begun a new little endeavor (see “Two Drink Minimum”), we couldn’t help but fall for these as possible starter sets…

Splash….when just a splash (or two) will do

Happy Hour….enough said…

Last Call…’cause all good things must come to an end….so you can start again!!!

A mighty incredible way to give to yourself, to loved ones, and to those in need…all in one fell-swoop, wouldn’t you agree? Multitasking at its finest!

So belles, time to get your glow on…inside and out…
