One of my favorite days of the year is Giving Tuesday. This new global day of giving back, always makes me hopeful and also leaves me feeling empowered. Because I can make a difference for others.
This year I’ll be donating to Best Friends Animal Society. Even better, all donations made on Giving Tuesday will be matched by generous supporters of Best Friends. Which is one more awesome reason to donate now! If you can’t give on Tuesday, your gift will still be matched this holiday season!
Follow Best Friends on Instagram as well as Facebook to see how your donation makes a difference!
A donation to Best Friends is a perfect gift for the person who has everything!
If you are looking for other gift ideas, be sure to check out the Best Friends store. Check out some of the things I picked up at the Sanctuary. Now at least one of these items made it into someone else’s hands….And of course, I couldn’t leave without getting something from Cyrus Mejia.You can also use Amazon Smile when you and help Best Friends Animal Society at the same time!
I hope you’ll add Best Friends to your donation list on Giving Tuesday!

I had no idea that there an international day of giving. Best Friends is a worthy cause for sure! And boy do they have a lot of cute things in their store. I bet I know who got the cookbook.

Best Friends does such great work! I always wanted to visit when I lived in Phoenix, but this Summer we moved back to NY, a moved that wasn’t planned for very long. It’s great that they’ll be matching donations all season!

I hope you can make it out there sometime, it is so worthwhile!

I loved the Best Friends store, too. I bought a hat, some post cards, and a couple of shirts.
