We love handmade! We love small businesses too, especially ones that make awesome all natural products.

Gifts that Give
It’s that time of year to spread lots of Chia Cheer! At Mamma Chia we thrive on creating products that nourish our bodies and Seed our Souls. As a contributor to 1% for the Planet and a member of Slow Money, we know how important the impact of giving back can be! That’s why we admire other brands who are doing their part to make our Earth a magical place to call home.
With the holidays swiftly approaching, we’ve gathered some of our favorite giving companies in one place, to share with you! This year give a gift…that gives!
1. Cause Roast
Our friends at Cause Roast, provide high-quality, fair-trade coffee that gives 50% back to the world’s greatest causes. 
Every bag of coffee purchased helps change the life of someone in need.
Not to mention, Americans consume 400 million cups of coffee per day, equivalent to 146 billion cups of coffee per year, making the United States the leading consumer of coffee in the world. Imagine if all that coffee gave back!
For every blanket you purchase, Sackcloth & Ashes donates a blanket to your local homeless shelter. Yes, your local homeless shelter! 
Inspired to help the homeless population after his hardworking single mother, found herself living on the streets in 2013, Bob Dalton founded Sackcloth & Ashes in June of 2014.
Calling local homeless shelters in his area, he learned what they needed most: blankets! Sackcloth & Ashes is a true one-for-one company, doing their part to help give the homeless warmth.
Pure Life! Every Pura Vida Bracelet is carefully handcrafted, providing full-time work for artisans living in Costa Rica.
Pura Vida also has a “Charity Collection” specifically created to give back to a variety of causes all over the world. They are currently partnered with over 190 charities and have donated more than $935,358 to date.
Just like Mamma Chia, Pura Vida is also a member of 1% for the Planet, meaning they donate 1% of their yearly revenue to environmental causes worldwide.
As founders of the Marie-Stella-Maris Foundation, Marie-Stella-Maris aims to help provide access to clean and safe drinking water for everyone, everywhere. Each month Marie-Stella-Maris calculates the total contribution of all their water and care products sold.
This amount is directly transferred to their foundation so it can get to work!
Through the sales of their mineral water and awesome care products they are able to direct their focus on projects supporting clean water, sanitation, and hygiene.
5. Krochet Kids
