GIFTS THAT

Give Back

Around the holidays, the giving spirit naturally emerges. This year more than ever, you may be feeling pulled toward presents that are especially meaningful or that allow you to be thoughtful to a loved one and philanthropic at the same time.

In that spirit, we’ve rounded up several gifts that give back.

Debeers’ The Reset Collective is a unique offering from female jewelry designers Julez Bryant, Sara Weinstock, Jennie Kwon, Jade Trau, and Zoë Chicco.

Each traveled to Botswana to learn about the sustainable sourcing of natural diamonds and then commemorated their trip by creating a one-ofkind pendant. Pieces will be auctioned December 10–17, with 100% of the proceeds going to Stepping Stones International, a charity focused on children and youth in Botswana, and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.

This fun tote is perfect to fill with holiday goodies or stuff with beach items (It’ll be beach weather again someday, right?). Clare V. donates 30% of the purchase price of this tote and all of the company’s “CV x EMC” items to Every Mother Counts, a non-profit organization dedicated to making pregnancy and childbirth safe around the world.

The Lush Charity Pot is a go-to body lotion year-round (Make sure to order one for yourself!). It’s velvety to the touch with a light scent, and Lush donates 100% of the purchase price to small grassroots groups.

Mulberry Silk Pyjamas are the luxurious way to lounge and slumber. The company is focused on ethical and sustainable practices and donates 10% of its profits to charity.

The Gift Set from Vinglace is the perfect hostess present, with a chilled wine bottle holder and two stemless wine glasses. You can choose from several matte or metallic finishes and even customize it with a monogram, logo, or design.

Need a little something for a stocking or gift exchange at work? A pair of Bombas socks makes for some stylish feet, and they do some good.

For every paid purchased, another is donated to homeless shelters. The company has already donated more than 50 million essential clothing items to the unhoused.

Who is a live plant perfect for?

Anyone, when it’s from Léon & George. Their pristine plants are organized according to size, by the type of light and how much care they need, and whether they’re air-purifying or good for pets. Not sure what to order? Take the one-minute quiz on the site to guide your choices. Léon & George hand-selected greenery comes in small-batch stoneware ceramic pots and includes free lifetime access to their Plant Doctor service. Each sale supports the National Forest Foundation’s goal of planting 50 million trees in our National Forests.

This plush Venice Bedding Set from Parachute is offered in washed sateen as well as percale, brushed cotton, down, and down alternative. The company partners with the United Nation’s Nothing but Nets campaign to provide a life-saving malaria-prevention bed net for every purchase of a Venice set.

The Warm and Cozy Box from Marie Mae is so packed with goodies, you may need to order one for yourself.

Items including a Fair Trade Gray Throw, herb tea and an artisan-crafted brass teaspoon, shortbread cookies, and an evergreen and eucalyptus candle are all ethically sourced and produced. You can also get the box monogrammed for no extra charged. A portion of each Marie Mae purchase provides business education, training, and mentorship for trafficking and abuse survivors around the world.

Described as an exquisite floral with delicate rose and honey accents and a subtle, green freshness, Jo Malone London’s Limited Edition Peony & Blush Suede Cologne makes a great gift for anyone looking for a fresh new scent. The company has pledged to donate 50% from the purchase price of all 100ml bottles of the cologne in the United States to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF).

A bedding honorable mention goes to this quilted, 100 percent cotton weighted blanket from Baloo Living. A portion of all profits go to the Pajama Program to provide new jammies and books to children in homeless shelters and foster homes.

Expert Advice on

Selling a Home

During the Holidays These hot tips make selling a home during colder months very merry.

By LINDSAY LISTANSKI

Selling a home during the holidays can feel like a challenge. From winter weather to deciding whether to decorate or not, there are certainly some obstacles. Here is excellent advice from the experts from our global network of Coldwell Banker agents, brokers and offices. Keep it Classic “Should I decorate for the holidays?” This is an extremely common questions for home sellers. It may be family tradition to “deck the halls” across every square inch of your house, but, if you are trying to sell your home, it may be better to scale back. When selling a home, it’s important to present it in a way that others can see themselves living in.

“We encourage sellers to still decorate (if that’s their thing), but not Griswold style decorating…. keep it simple and classy. Mostly keep the walks clear and maybe add a spot for shoe removal just inside.”

- COLDWELL BANKER TERRE HAUTE

Use the holidays to create warmth in your home.

“I think lights and color can warm anyone’s heart,” says Heather Ostrom, a Realtor® with Coldwell Banker Sun Ridge Real Estate in Roseville, CA. With the right touch, holiday decorations can create an emotional attraction for a buyer to your home. A cold, undecorated home can’t compete with one that has the fireplace roaring, the smell of fresh baked cookies, and elegant, yet festive décor. Less is More The holidays can be hectic which means time you normally spend cleaning may be spent at the mall and holiday gatherings.

It is important to stay on top of keeping you house clean and tidy, especially if you decide to decorate. Andrea Geller, a Realtor® with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Chicago, says she loves holiday decorations, but to a point.

“However you decorate, don’t distract prospective buyers from the space,” she advises, explaining that holiday decorations can cause clutter, which could potentially make a room or space look smaller.

“Keep it very classic and neutral and if you put a tree where a chair or table typically goes and then jam the table or chair elsewhere in your house for a few weeks you should ask a neighbor or friend to stick it in their house so you don’t have extra furniture cluttering spaces or taking up more space” - JESSICA EDWARDS

“Be sure to hide wires from holiday lights. Stick with decorations that aren’t covered in glitter and decorate with intention” - ANDREA GELLER If your home is located in areas that get snow, be sure to keep up with snow removal on your driveway and sidewalks. Also, it is a good idea to ask visitors to remove their shoes so you don’t have salt stains on floors and carpets. Stay in Season One area where you likely won’t want to display holiday decorations: your listing photos.

Jessica Edwards, an agent with Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage in Wilmington, N.C., says holiday decorations can unintentionally date a photo, especially if the house is still on the market after New Year’s passes.

While experts advise against decor in listing pictures, open houses are a totally different game…

“[Listing] photos should NOT have decor because that could date them.

Open houses MUST have holiday decor!” - BRENNA LEE ROTH-MILLER
