After the dreary dead of winter, we are excited that spring is just around the corner. This fresh season brings the sprouting of flowers, the lively sound of nature and feelings of joy all around. The celebrations of spring also include Mother’s Day, Easter, Earth Day, International Women’s Day, and more. For many of these celebrations, we are seeking the perfect gift for our loved ones.
To guide you on the quest to that perfect present, we’ve created a gift guide full of spring gift ideas with an impact. So when you give your mother a wonderful gift for Mother’s Day, you can also feel good giving back to someone in the process. Our impact vendors offer amazing products that contribute to our society and we are looking forward to you seeing what’s in store.
Happy Shopping!
1. Floral Daily Task Notepad
We are LOVING this fresh and fun Orchid Garden Handmade Notebook from Pen + Pillar. This notepad is an ultra cute, environmentally-friendly way to take notes in style.

Not to mention, Pen + Pillar gives back 10% of its proceeds to help local refugees get settled into their new lives. It also brings awareness of the beautiful and distinctive work of local refugee artisans. Its floral design will bring any stationary collection to life this spring.
2. Socks that Find a Cure
Our drawers are full of socks that lack the wow factor, but why do we continue sporting clothing that is simply ‘blah?’ Instead of picking up yet another set of drab and dreary socks, make an impact with a statement.

Created by Conscious Step, each pair of these socks sold supports St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in the battle against childhood cancer and other children’s diseases.

A decor piece that makes a statement, Krochet Kids has made a Woven Wall Hanging in Honeysuckle, providing a cool, bohemian touch to any space. Each wall hanging is a one-of-a-kind piece individually made by women in Uganda.

8. Corazon Necklace
A heart-shaped necklace with a message of hope, Hands Producing Hope’s Corazon Necklace is a versatile one-of-a-kind piece. Its large heart-shaped seed was handpicked on the Coppey Abajo reservation and hangs on a leather cord fastened with a jaboncillo seed. Because no seed is exactly the same, each necklace differs slightly in shape and size. The pieces were made with love by Fautina and Marcelina.
Each gift helps to provide the economic, educational and spiritual resources necessary for remote communities to rise above poverty. This heartfelt necklace is a beautiful keepsake for its recipient.
9. Vintage Floral Headband in Blue

With every purchase of this easy-to-wear headband, a child receives one, too. Today, there have been over half a million headbands gifted to children in over 19 countries. A meaningful gift that’s given twice is one that we can all feel good about.
