I am always happy to feature lovely gifts that do good, from companies devoted to giving back some of their profits to charity.
This holiday season, my pick is kushi-riki, a new brand for kids from the creators of Candygrind and CG Habitats, offering snowboard apparel and accessories.
According to their stated mission, kushi-riki is committed to meeting the needs of children around the world.
Here’s how they put it: We craft premium products for children – and then donate one hundred percent of our healthy profit goals to thoughtful partners who serve them. With a focus on health and education, our partner organizations work relentlessly to ensure all children have the lives and opportunities they deserve.
And just in case you’re wondering, kushi-riki means “to share” in Swahili.
Currently, their non-profit partner is a.k.a. Hope. This non-profit provides housing, education, food and healthcare to children, many of them orphaned, who live in Naguru slums on the outskirts of Kampala, Uganda.
Kushi-riki gloves and mittens are constructed of a polyester shell with a waterproof membrane. A zipper makes them easy to get on and off (as well as keeping the wrists snug, to keep snow out and warmth in), while a faux fur lining makes them extra comfy-cozy.
A side zipper makes getting the mittens on and off easy, and the gloves and mittens are lined with the soft faux fur.
To facilitate this post, I received samples of kushi-riki product. This product has not been used and will be given away via this post. As always, all opinions are my own and are exactly what I would tell my family and friends.
