Not to get sappy, but celebrating with friends and family makes you appreciate the good things in life. It makes you feel happy and grateful for the things you have. So if you want to extend that feeling even further, consider giving gifts that give back to good causes and charities.

While you can absolutely donate on the person's behalf to your favorite organization, there are so many companies out there that partner with charities all year round and offer amazing giftable products. From cozy gifts like slippers and sweatshirts to delicious food gift baskets, you can support a cause and give a great gift you might buy anyway. It really is the best of both worlds!

You can approach gifts that give back in two ways: either choose the organization that you want to support or pick the product you think your recipient may like best. Here, we've listed out the good cause along with the product so you can decide either way. All of these are great ideas for pretty much any event where you would want to purchase a gift, including "get well soon" gifts and thank you gifts. Not only will the recipient love the item, they'll love that you put extra thought into giving back to the community as well.
