Christmas gift ideas
Perhaps this year we are looking forward to Christmas a little more than usual. Many of us have already started to think about where to spend Christmas eve, how to decorate our homes, and what gifts we should choose for our loved ones. Who doesn't like giving gifts and seeing the happy faces of friends and family when they open them?
Here’s a way you can make gift-giving even more special and meaningful: gifts that give back. There are so many purpose-driven projects and businesses that are donating a percentage (or in some cases, all) of their profit to charities around the world. Buying presents from these companies you are giving back to some charitable causes and making the world a little better.
We are sharing here some beautiful Christmas gift ideas that are made in Armenia (where AYANI dresses are made as well) by projects/companies who are donating or already donated large parts of their profits to help those families affected by the recent war in Artsakh.
Almost all of the projects below are operated fully by the founders themselves, others are run by a small group of friends or a family. By supporting them, you support people whose work is driven by desire to spread love and kindness.
And whatever choice you make, choose kindness.
