It’s always great to give back during the holidays and just because you’re shopping for a loved one, doesn’t mean you can’t also support those in need. UNICEF’s marketplace allows you to shop artisan goods from around the world, and we love these Elegant Energy Hand-Made Blown Rocks Glass Set of 6 ($69.99). The purchase can provide 38 doses of measles vaccine to children in need. They glasses are made in Mexico by Javier and Efrén and completely unique, made from recycled glass.
