It’s easy to get wrapped up in Black Friday deals and creating endless Amazon wishlists, but chances are that even if you do fulfill that wish list, happiness will be fleeting. What makes humans truly happy is the chance to give (seriously, it’s been proven!) So whether you’re seeking happiness for yourself or for others this December, check out this guide of snuggly wintertime finds that give back. From hand-spun hot sauce to stylish parkas and baby slippers - these charitable gifts are sure to warm you from the inside out.
