While for many of us today marks the beginning of the holiday rush, I’d like to encourage a moment to reflect, give thanks, and maybe even give back. May I offer a little nudge towards The Citizenry for some of your holiday gifts? Not only do they offer incredibly beautiful items that support artisan communities all over the world, but today your purchases also help support their Black Friday Fund. All profits today — yep, all profits — go towards building schools for migrant children at the U.S.-Mexico border. While their families wait to seek legal asylum in the U.S., these children have no place to learn and play. Education is a fundamental right these children are being deprived of, and today we can do a little bit to change that. Every $120 we spend funds a week of school for a child: a real life magic school bus mobile school providing teachers, a psychologist, uniforms, and supplies.
Here are some of my favorites to bring some warmth to you or someone you love this holiday season. Each is handmade, beautiful, and sure to be treasured for years to come.

So thankful this year for family, friends, warm fuzzy cuddles, and the beauty of sharing.
Don’t forget! Giving Tuesday is coming in just a few days! It is a great opportunity to support causes that lie close to our hearts.
