The
next time your mother wags her finger at you for eating too much chocolate, you
can tell her that every bite is helping to save endangered species. The Endangered Species Chocolate Company has
now made it possible for you to be a do-gooder just by sitting on your couch
and indulging your sweet tooth. Their
100% ethically-traded cocoa not only sustains family-run farms in Nigeria and ensures fair wages for the farmers, but 10% of profits are donated to protect the endangered species featured on the wrapper.

Beyond
the Samaritan appeal, their distinctive chocolate is European in style,
offering a dense, buttery,

fruity flavor not found in your average Hershey
bar. And by dense, we’re talking 75%
cocoa content in their dark chocolate bars, packing a wallop in every bite. Bars are available for $1.89 and holiday gift
packs go for $5.25 and up at chocolatebar.com .

For the stiff-fingered, hypothermic people out there, designers Stewart+Brown have come out with a new line of winter accessories that promise to warm away your winter woes. Made from Mongolian cashmere, their selection of hats, scarves and gloves are simple, stylish, and incredibly soft. The reason for their super-softness? The fibers are hand-combed by herdsmen. And because the designers keep all aspects of their cashmere production in Mongolia, they’re able to invest a part of their profits back into sustaining the lifestyle of the nomadic Mongolian herders. Stewart+Brown also donate at least 1% of their sales to non-profit organizations. Kiss cold fingers goodbye by picking up a pair of their cashmere mittens for $79 at stewartbrown.com.
