6 Chrissie Present Ideas That’ll Fill Your Stocking & Enrich Your Soul At The Same Time

Ah, Christmas. I personally love this time of year and picking the exact right gift for people is one of my purest pleasures. Do I also love receiving presents? Heck yes! Well, what if you could turn the whole thing up to 11, give the perfect pressie AND help the world become a better place at the same time? Perfection.

Hold onto your knickers mates, because you absolutely can. With a teensy bit of extra consideration, you can buy your fam truly loveable pressies that will also make them, and you, better people.

Please allow me to make my case with 6 truly rad items that I would love to be gifted (someone please forward this article to my parents).

1. Soothing Almond Milk & Honey Premium Collection

The Body Shop Soothing Almond Milk & Honey Premium Collection, $60

I truly rely on Chrissie to replenish my body creams for the year. Do the right thing and gift soft skin to family members who may be a little sensitive with this gift pack.

The bonus? Everything you buy from The Body Shop in November and December will contribute towards raising £250,000 (about AUD$470,000) for Plan International to continue their work helping girls and young women in Brazil and Indonesia start their own businesses or find safe and fair employment.

2. Females To The Front Women’s T-Shirt

Confetti Rebels Females To The Front Women’s T-Shirt, $42

I have recently discovered and become obsessed with Confetti Rebels. Cute slogan shirts will never go out of style, particularly when they’re designed and made by a local Aussie and the company is committed to making donations to various charities.

So far they’ve raised money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Beyond Blue, Pregnancy Loss Australia (Bears of Hope) and so many more. Right now, this particular (fab) shirt is raising money for Melbourne charity, Wishin, who help local women at risk of homelessness or family violence.

3. Monogram Socks

HoMie Monogram Socks, $20

If your dad is anything like mine, his eyes will light up when you gift him a pair of socks. I don’t fully understand the pure pleasure of new socks to fathers, and yet it’s an undeniable fact.

Give the man what he wants with socks that are not only super cool but will also improve the world. They’re from Melbourne label HoMie (short for Homelessness of Melbourne Incorporated Enterprise). The whole point of the label is to give 100% of the profits to young people affected by homelessness or hardship through their own programs.

4. Foundation Diary

The Cotton On Foundation Diary, $10

Start your loved ones off right for the year ahead with a little inspiration for them plus a little for the world. This diary and bullet journal has prompts and suggestions to get them thinking about their goals and wishes for 2020. It also donates 100% of proceeds back to the Cotton On Foundation and its current mission to establish 20,000 educational places around the world.

5. Giving A Girl A Legal Identity Gift Card

PLAN International Giving A Girl A Legal Identity Gift Card, $30

One simple card can do so much good. PLAN International has a range of gift cards that actually help the world, from buying a food-and-income-producing chicken for those who need it, to literally giving an identity to one of the millions of girls around the world who grow up without formal recognition that they exist. You’ll be helping protect her from child marriage, exploitation and trafficking, and a world in which she can’t vote, work or have rights.

6. Unisex Hero Tee

Auguste Hero Tee White, $59

Australian designer label, Auguste, donates 1% of its annual online sales to charities that help restore the planet – so you can really buy anything from here and be doing some good.

Specifically, though, 100% of the profits from these unisex Hero tees go to the National Centre Against Bullying and international organisation The Cybersmile Foundation.

There you have it, you truly can find something for everyone that also improves the world we’re living in. If that isn’t the true Christmas spirit, I don’t know what is.
