The only thing better than gifting someone something they truly love and can't wait to use? Knowing that the money you spent is going to have even bigger impact by giving back to an important cause. From an incredible-smelling candle to a stylish yoga mat to the ultimate leather carryall, these holiday gifts are sure to be a huge hit with the women on your list this year. The best part: each item benefits a different charity, so you can feel extra good about the purchase.
Origins Feel Good Candle
True to its name, this 100% soy wax candle in a recycled wine bottle container will make you feel as good as it smells. For each one that is purchased, the American Forests' Global ReLeaf project will plant a tree around the world. Even better, the pine, spruce, and orange scent will give your home a great woodsy vibe.

FEED Eleanor Crossbody Bag
For a more fashionable take on the canvas bag, opt for this vegetable tanned leather stunner, which is sure to become your go-to carryall.
