Good Gifts

The Good Gifts Catalogue was born 11 years ago, a refreshing alternative to conventional unwanted presents.
We were guided by 2 commitments: first, that every Good Gift was always wanted. And second when you buy a Good Gift, your money buys the actual gift.
Over 11 years, our commitments have never wavered. In fact, we’re delighted, that more and more people choose Good Gifts in order to target their charitable giving with more accuracy.

Half of Me to We’s net profit is donated to Free The Children. The other half is reinvested to grow the enterprise and its social mission.

Zady

At our roots, we are a collaboration between friends. Zady provides an alternative to today's "fast-fashion," a fad demanding consumers buy more and more instead of buying 'good.' We should not be compelled to accept throwaway goods as a way of life; we can instead take pride in the style and integrity of each and every piece we own.
