Galentines Gifts that Give Back
Galentines Gifts that Give Back
In place of a good old-fashioned galentines get together, we’ll be sending the important women in our lives something special in the mail. What better way to get the warm and fuzzy feelings going than to get your loved one something that gives back? Here’s some of our tried and tested favourites that are guaranteed to please.
A galentine’s classic, with a twist! Family-run social enterprise, Harry Spectres, makes the most gorgeous and mouth-watering chocolates out there. The best part? Their award-winning chocolate creates training and employment opportunities for young people living with autism, who are involved in every part of the business. From production to marketing, Harry Spectres creates a brighter and sweeter future for these young people.
For a token of your love, why not get something slightly more unique than a high street necklace? Check out Pivot, a boutique jewellery brand with beautiful pieces made by young Londoners experiencing homelessness. From necklaces to glasses chains, there’s something to delight everyone.
Migrateful’s Online Cooking Class
If your girlfriend is more of an activities person, look no further! Migrateful’s online cooking classes are run by refugees and migrants living in the UK, sharing their authentic recipes. It’s so much more than a cooking class, it’s a fully immersive way to get to know new cultures and the foods that make them what they are.
There’s possibly no gift more welcome in lockdown than a delicious coffee blend. Beat the winter blues and short days with a selection of grounds or beans that train people experiencing ex-offenders to be baristas. Why not get yourself a matching bag and do a coffee date on zoom with your galentine?
We couldn’t make a list of galentine’s gifts without mentioning yours truly! Keep the cozy vibes going all year for your loved one with our tea subscription. Not only is the tea plastic-free and sustainably grown, but it also integrates refugees into the UK workforce.
