Over the last few years, our family has made a big effort to be selective about the gifts we give to each other as well as to our extended family and friends.
Is the item meaningful and memorable? Will it be used for a long time? Who made the item? Were they paid fairly? How were the working conditions? Does the profit go towards making a company bigger or building the local community where the product was made?
I recently learned about the website Good Spender which is the perfect place to shop for gifts if you want your buying power to deliver social impact.
All of the 90+ sellers on Good Spender are social enterprises or businesses that exist to benefit the community. A portion of the funds from any purchase you make through the website will support marginalised or disadvantaged groups. These are just a few of the merchants featured on the site.
From this page you can select different merchants and learn about their mission, projects, and background plus see all the products they offer. Or you can browse the site like a traditional shopping website and search by item category or product name.
I love that when purchasing through Good Spender I am able to support businesses that are making the world a better place. I recently received my first package and am seriously impressed with my products. I can’t wait to order again!
Here is a quick snapshot of some of the products Good Spender offers. As you will see they have a huge variety of items which suit any gift recipient.

Gifts that keep giving…
If you have heard the phrase “a gift that keeps on giving,” that is exactly what you will get from Good Spender. I often choose my own gifts (because I much prefer to buy something I love myself than my hubby or parents purchase something I have already or wouldn’t use!) and I’m looking forward to utilising Good Spender in the future for myself as well as others.
Check out the amazing variety of gifts at goodspender.com.au for your next holiday or birthday shopping session.
Just a word of warning: once you start browsing, it might be hard to stop! I can find something for everyone I want to give a gift to there. It’s a great one-stop gift shop. Enjoy!

I’ve never heard of this before, but certainly try to buy ethical products, and with social impact that is even better!

That bush balm looks amazing! So does everything else actually. It’s dangerous but I can’t help but look!
