Gift guide: unique pieces for a good cause with Etsy

This year, thanks to Etsy, you can do all your gift buying with ease — and for a good cause! They’ve teamed up with Plan International on a charity initiative called Make For Good (check out #makeforgood on your Instagram!).

Inspired by Plan’s Because I Am A Girl campaign, its mission is to empower girls by helping to create brighter futures around the world. Dozens of Australian Etsy sellers have created bespoke products that coincide with the theme of the campaign, with 20% of proceeds going to charity. Last year, they raised over $30,000 internationally and this year they plan to beat that – with our help. The fight for girls around the world is a cause everyone can get behind, so let’s get to shopping!
