TOMS at Zulily

One of my favorite brands is having a special sale right now over at Zulily and I wanted you to know about it, too! If you aren’t already aware, TOMS is a special company that donates a new pair of shoes or eyeglasses to a child in need for every pair they sell.

TOMS and Zulily have put together a great selection and discounted all the prices so it’s a win-win! You get a super deal on cool shoes for you and/or your kiddos and a child in need somewhere in the world gets a new pair too! That goes for their designer sunglasses…except when you buy a pair of those, TOMS provides prescription glasses, medical treatment or sight-saving surgery.

Got a creative kid (of the human variety) or know someone who does? Check out this cool new contest especially for the kiddos! Teachers and parents are invited to enter their 3rd-8th grade kids in the 5th Annual Pets Add Life Children’s Poetry Contest!

And why do I think this is so cool? Because your child gets to write a poem about their pet and the joys that come with having a pet in their life! I love sharing opportunities like this one that help kids express their love of pets AND their creativity at the same time!

  • A $1,000 scholarship for each winning student’s classroom
  • A $250 gift certificate for pet products

In addition to the Poetry Contest, Pets Add Life also has a great Pet Pledge Drive going on right now. Be sure to stop by their Facebook Page and take the pledge to do what you can to help a pet find a forever home. With 3 ways to pledge, it’s a fantastic idea for a New Year’s Resolution!

Today is Giving Tuesday: Give Back To a Cause You Care About #GivingTuesday

Giving Tuesday
We all know about Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but have you heard about Giving Tuesday? This year, a new tradition will hopefully take hold. One that involves giving to causes that help others and spreading the word to help encourage others as well. Giving Tuesday is a simple idea. All you need to do is find a way for your family, your community, your company or your organization to join in acts of giving. Then tell everyone you can about what you are doing and why it matters.

What cause you choose to support is up to you. Whether you choose to donate money, time or goods and services, every little bit helps! There are so many great organizations that help veterans, natural disaster victims, animals and other important causes, but do take time to research and make sure that you know where your money is going and how it will be used. One resource I like is Charity Navigator. Over the past 10 years, Charity Navigator’s free charity ratings have enabled millions of donors to access unbiased information before making a donation. You can search for a charity by name, or by topic if you’d like to discover a new cause or see what causes others are supporting. They’ve got an entire category devoted to Animal Welfare and Rights, too!

So, although we are in peak shopping season, I just wanted to take a sec and make sure you knew about this special new day! Be sure to help spread the word using the hashtag #GivingTuesday and follow @GivingTues on Twitter to keep up with the latest news.
