Wear It Well

Are kids more socially conscious these days, or are they being raised by parents who want to inspire them to give back? Whatever the reason, there’s a slew of kids’ clothing out there that both looks good and does good, and I think that’s definitely a positive trend. Take the Giving Tee ($24) from California-based jillybean green. Made from 100 percent organic cotton, the shirt bears the image of a little girl or boy doing their part to help protect the planet. And 20 percent of the proceeds from the sale of the shirt go to Healthy Child Healthy World, which helps parents protect young children from harmful chemicals.

I’ve always had a thing for caramel, whether it’s enrobed in chocolate, drizzled over ice cream, or just all by itself. So the gift packs ($10 to $165) offered by Good Karmal are right up my alley. Packaged in earth-friendly containers and wrapped with words of wisdom from sages like Gandhi and Maya Angelou, the candy comes in flavors ranging from classic vanilla to green apple or chipotle. A portion of all sales goes to environmental charities like the World Wildlife Fund and the Nature Conservancy.
