We love a lady with good taste, and Meghan Markle has plenty of it. We’ve dished on Meghan’s picks for New York hangs in the past, plus her Living Well With… feature (see them all here!) and she’s featured our editor’s inspiration via her blog, The Tig, too.
We’re sharing Meghan’s last minute picks for gifts that give back below. If you’re still shopping consider these six ideas that are both tasteful and generous. We love the idea of gifting something that benefits a mission close to our loved ones’ heart…
The Neshama Project Meraki Necklace + Soul Sister Earrings | Founded by a fellow yogi, this boutique jewelry line donates a percentage of all proceeds to Innovation Africa, a non-profit that seeks to expand solar power, clean water, and agricultural technology to rural villages on the continent. We love the delicacy and uniqueness of their designs, and with many pieces handmade in California, you can be sure that you’re getting a quality product in addition to supporting a worthy cause.
