19 Holiday Gifts From Etsy That Give Back With Every Purchase

These days, many of us prioritize shopping at businesses that do their part to give back in some way. Whether that's by creating or selling products from recycled materials, donating a portion of sales to a nonprofit or other organization, or something else entirely, it feels good to support a business that is doing good.

In that spirit, Etsy has made it easier than ever to find online sellers who believe in giving back. Now when you shop on Etsy, you can start with the Gifts That Give Back page and see all the items and shops together.

Recycled Ocean Plastic Earrings

The ocean is filled with plastic. In fact, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has stated that the organization estimates a troubling 8 million metric tons of plastic entered the ocean in 2010 alone. The situation is dire, which has prompted many people to try to do something about it.

One way people are helping out is by recycling ocean plastic into something else, which is exactly how these earrings came to be. On top of that, when you buy these earrings (or anything from the shop), a percentage of the proceeds will be donated to Sustainable Coastlines Hawai'i.

Here's more jewelry you can buy while giving back:

Each tote is padded, with detailed vertical stitching, and has a pocket on the inside of the bag, perfect for phones, sunnies, and other essentials. This tote has a magnetic closure at the top, with studded detail on the straps."

There are also plenty of other home accents you can buy while supporting good causes:
