We've always been told that it's better to give than to receive and that's totally right, especially when we can give twice! I'm not talking about buying double the presents- instead, I'm encouraging getting gifts where the proceeds go towards charitable causes. Take a look at iconic handbag maker, Coach. They launched a Coach Cares program where 20% of the purchase price will go towards causes chosen by celebrities like Mandy Moore, Jessica Alba, and Halle Berry. In the mood to beautify your family or friends? Proceeds from the Lush Charity Holiday Box gift set will go towards funding for animal rights, environmental protection and humanitarian concerns. One thing is for sure, giving these gifts will definitely put you in Santa's nice list this year! Click on the slideshow to see more gifts that give back.

I have a friend who lives for discount clothing stores and rarely spends more that $40 on an item. The frustrating thing about this is that people ALWAYS mistake her inexpensive garments for super high-end items! For a while this drove me absolutely insane. I was the one in the designer duds, yet it was her ensemble that everyone was lusting for. Even more frustrating is the fact that on me, her clothes look incredible tacky and and cheap! So what gives? Well it turns out my friend has another really good friend and never wears anything without getting this friend's seal of approval - her trusted tailor! And celebs like Sandra Bullock, Mandy Moore, and Sarah Michelle Gellar are also pulling the tailor train! Click READ MORE for their tailor secrets!
