It doesn't get much better than the joy of watching your best friend open the gift you thoughtfully chose. What can trump that? When the item you purchased also helps to support a cause you (both) care about. Proceeds from items on our list go towards organizations working on COVID relief, the environment, homelessness, and education. From presents for plant lovers, and treats that pamper, cozy candles, and something for every book lover on your list, these gifts all have one thing special in common: they give back.
