Flash Post: Clear Choice
What It Is: I love a good gift that gives good to the world – and this limited-edition Me to We Rafiki bracelet is just the token. Handmade in Kenya, the purchase of just one of these pretty wrap bracelets can provide someone with clean drinking and washing water for an entire year. Profits from the bracelet’s sale go toward Free The Children’s goal of providing 100,000 people with clear water, making this both a fashionable and fundraising accessory.
Who It’s For: Your boss, as a do-gooder gift that’s also super affordable. Your Secret Santa, since it’s like giving two gifts in one. Your wife, as a sweet stocking stuffer with some extra thought behind it.
What It Costs: $10!
Where It’s At: The Me to We Rafiki bracelet is available exclusively at Second Cup locations across Canada. To find your nearest location, visit their website.
I should also mention, the Me to We bracelet is also available on the Canadian Gift Guide, to one very lucky (and hopefully kind-hearted) soul. Wear yours with pride and spread the word about this great cause. To enter for your own Me to We bracelet:
