Give a gift that gives back. Socially conscious gifts are a great idea for anyone who wants to make an impact on the lives of more than just the person receiving the gift. The companies and organizations below give proceeds and opportunities to help struggling communities grow and develop around the world. Here are six gifts for the socially conscious young woman in your life:

SIMBI- Jewelry

Each SIMBI accessory sold provides funding to install clean water filters in Haiti. Additionally, all the products are made by Haitian women, giving them sustainable employment and income.

SUDARA- Loungewear

Made in India, SUDARA Punjammies are lounge pants and sleepwear that are made by women who have escaped human trafficking. SUDARA gives these women the chance to earn an income and provide for their families.

31 Bits- Accessories

31 Bits sells jewelry made by Ugandan and Indonesian women, empowering them and providing a source of income to rise out of poverty. Each piece is made from recycled, natural materials, so everything is eco-friendly as well.

FEED- Bags

FEED is a company that helps to fight world hunger. Each FEED bag is stamped with the number of meals the purchase of that bag provided to a community in need. Traditionally made of burlap, these bags are a fashion statement as well as a great way to help others.

Raven + Lily- Fashion

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
