Every Krocket Kids product is accompanied by a label that bears the signature of the person who made it, carrying her story wherever it goes.

A great Christmas idea is to ask for and give gifts that give back to the world. Luckily, there are a lot of different options available for this category, many of which can be bought in London.

TOMS shoes are a perfect example of a gift that keeps giving because for every pair of shoes that is purchased, one pair of shoes is donated to a child in need. These shoes are also a stylish staple and can be worn in most seasons.

Although the prices range, the majority of the shoes can be bought for $70 or less. They sell boots and glasses as well, which gives more options for different people on your list.

These products can be purchased at Boathouse, Zumiez, and Soft Moc, which are all located in White Oaks Mall.

Another great company to support this Christmas is Krochet Kids.

This is a clothing company that has numerous appealing items, and all the clothing sold is made by women in Uganda and Peru. Krochet Kids pairs workers with mentorship and education to build sustainable opportunities and investment in local communities.

The items they sell vary from shirts and sweaters, to winter accessories such as hats and gloves. These items can be purchased at North by Northwest in Masonville Mall.

The prices for Krochet Kids ranges from $10 up to $100 depending on what you are purchasing.

Another popular brand that gives back is TenTree. This company plants ten trees for every item sold. They sell everything from sweaters to water bottles to accessories. Recently, TenTree has been expanding their list of product choices.

TenTree items can be purchased at North by Northwest and Boathouse located at Masonville Mall.

Finally, there is Scarves for Water by Obakki. This company builds a water well in South Sudan for every 500 scarves sold. There are many different colours available, and the colours are always changing.

The scarves can be purchased for as low as $25; therefore, this is an affordable way to give back. These scarves can only be purchased online currently; however, they are Canadian made in Vancouver, so the cost of shipping isn’t too expensive.
