How it works: you search for a store you at which you want to shop and then once you make your purchase, the store donates a percentage of their profits to the cause of your choice (and there are a lot of choices from animal rescue to schools to the rainforest). How marvelous is that?!
It doesn't work with Etsy, unfortunately, but it even works with Ebay (Ebay gives up a portion of their cut). The hard part is remembering not just to go directly to Amazon or L'Occitane without first visiting through the site. But I'm sure that once I get in the habit, I'll be racking up donations in no time. So for all my non-Etsy purchases this holiday season, I'm going to try to shop through iGive.
Saving tigers while finding that ideal gift? I'm in!
What a great idea! Oh by the way Emma, I was going to go purchase your stuff on Itunes tonight, but your link on the right side of your blog is not working. Just thought you would want to know. Have a great night sweetie! Kori xoxo
ReplyDeleteOk, I bought both albums and left a 5-star review for you girl! I will pass on the word. You are so talented! Kori xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! It'll take some of the guilt off when I splurge... ♥
ReplyDeleteWishing you a lovely weekend!
What a lovely idea, I adore your blog, I shall make sure to come back. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool! Definitely going to look into that this year!
ReplyDeletehow cool. thanks for sharing, i will check it out :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a seriously terrific idea. I am usually much more inclined to buy a product if I know part of its sale price is going to a worthwhile cause. I'm not sure if this site applies to stores in Canada too, but I'm off to investigage at once. Either way, I really think it's a wonderful way to help those who need it most.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for sharing. I hope you have an amazing weekend, darling girl!
