Eid Gift Guide

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful



Asalamu alaikum, peace be upon you!




Today's post is going to be full of sadaqah (action's of voluntary charity) boosting, two fold, feel-good factor; giving back whilst giving gift's, gift guide...what's not to love?



We love...



PUNJAMMIESPunjammies are womens pyjamas, clothing made by women rescued from human trafficking. Every purchase of these women's pyjamas helps give hope! There's lots of design's and styles (long or cropped) to choose from. I love the pair that ($39)! They also have a selection of shirt's, short's and 'freedom towel's'. Sadly they only ship to the USAit is something they love to mae-k! The Women are able to bead from their homes..." The is so so pretty, and whenever I see people wear them they look a-mae-zing (get it? i'm hooked!) I was gutted that I missed out on their free international shipping offer recently- next time, i'm on it! You can also buy individual bracelet's too.PRICE: $13-36



LUSH 'CHARITY POT' A kind and passionate body lotion that wants to change the world. LUSH give all the money, not just EUR1 or the profit made from it, but all money to charity. Plus it's vegan, cruelty free and great for all the family to use! You can also check out the Charity Pot's to catch up with which charity they will be helping next. Also, mention to your loved ones about the empties scheme Lush do, in order to recycle their plastic. You return 5 empty, clean pots to Lush to receive one of their fresh face mask's worth EUR5.95, absolutely free!PRICE: EUR6.95 95G / EUR12.75 240G



TOMS Perhaps one of the biggest 'give back' retail-charity merge brands in the world. If you haven't heard of TOMS already, their slogan is "one for one". Each pair of shoes you buy (children's, women's or men's), they give a poor child a pair of shoes. Aside from the classic TOMS style, they also make wedges and boots. Now not only that, if you buy their eye wear they also help with eye care, check-ups, cataract's and more, how awesome is that?? Read more !PRICE: VARIES



EBAY CHARITYIf you regularly browse ebay you may have come across some item's with a little blue and yellow bow on the listing. This means that part of ALL money made goes to the charity of the seller's choice. Full details are linking within the item description. So not only could you get a bargain, instead of that going into the sellers bank, it goes to a worthy cause. There is a way to search listing's where the proceeds go to charity, click to find out more.
