Thanksgiving Day is less than one month away, which means that we are officially entering the eye of the holiday season! (Cue “Eye of the Tiger<\/a>.”)<\/p>\n

Between between hours of travel, days of holiday dinner prep, and months of coordinating reunions with loved ones, it can be hard to take the time to plan anything that doesn’t revolve around your own seasonal traditions.<\/p>\n

But there’s no denying that taking the time to give back is invaluable. All year long, we offer our customers the chance to give back through our Better to Give<\/a> program. With every purchase you make, we’re proud to donate $1 to a Better to Give partner of your choice (at no cost to you). This year, we want to make sure that giving back is part of your holiday planning. So, we turned to our community to spread the word about our Better to Give program.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We asked our brand advocates to write about our Better to Give<\/a> program on their respective platforms. In return for sharing the program with their community, we offered to donate $100 to the non-profit partner of each blogger’s choice (as noted in
\nparentheses below). Thanks to each blogger’s efforts, we’re excited to share that we’re donating a combined $1,200 to our Better to Give partners!<\/p>\n

Please join us in wishing a very special thank you to the following bloggers who believe it’s better to give!<\/p>\n
