It was well over a year ago when my oldest daughter gave her best friend a Me to We Rafikis Friendship Bracelet. Cute, in style and worn constantly since then; these bracelets are actually so much more then just jewellery.
June 2014
With the purchase of this particular bracelet, lives are changed.
Me to We are gifts that make global impact as each product delivers a meaningful gift to a child or family in a community overseas, like clean drinking water or access to healthcare.
The Me to We organization that has partnered with Staples this holiday season, to encourage people to think more about ‘we’ rather than ‘me’ – and give gifts that changes lives.
For convenience, Me to We gifts are conveniently sold at staples stores and online.
Aside from these Rafikis, there are plenty of Me to We products that would make excellent gifts this Christmas. I was recently send a little assortment of Me to We products, and I gotta say – there are cute! The mittens, infinity scarf and fuzzy socks are so soft!
Which made me realize that these items are commonly gifted this time of year, they are great gifts for anyone in fact. Yet Me to We are ones give back!
When buying each Me to We Infinity Scarf or beanie hat, one tree is planted. The Snuggle Socks and mittens give medicine with each purchase.
When buying a Passport Holder {which is a great bag to hold all sorts of stuff, actually}; one child is fed. The toiletry bag gives clean water. With the purchase of the backpack, school supplies are given.
As you can see, these items are really nice and functional – but they have such a bigger purpose. Impressive is feeling the super-soft heart socks, but that smile grows bigger when you are reminded with each look, that those socks helped someone in need.
In addition, visit Track Your Impact, and you’ll be able to see how and where each product makes a difference by typing in your code found on the product.
This holiday season, consider shopping Me to We at Staples {online and in stores} and change a life with a simple purchase.
Warm hearts are giving hearts, give with all your heart.
Disclosure: I received a gift card to facilitate this post, all opinions are my own.

11/25/2015 at 9:11 amThis is a gift appropriate to the Meaning of the Season. For a relatively small amount of money, we can gift a friend or family member and help someone in the third world. This is a totally win-win situation. Thank you for the information as I had not heard of this organization before.
