Amidst all the merriment and dazzling decorations, it’s easy to forget that the holiday season, at its core, is all about giving. So here’s a good reminder for that. If you’re wondering how you can give back this Christmas, there are many ways to share your blessings. But a good place to start with is your gift shopping list. Consider buying from brands that give to charity or donate proceeds. You’ll be giving your loved ones a thoughtful gift and helping others at the same time. Here are five brands where you can shop for gifts that keep on giving.
THEFACESHOP with Hospis Malaysia
This holiday season, THEFACESHOP partners with Hospis Malaysia to address the scarcity of basic essentials among those in palliative care. Must-have sanitising kits and protective masks will be donated by the Korean beauty brand to those who need it the most on behalf of customers. For a minimum purchase of MYR188 worth of THEFACESHOP products, one bottle of 500ml and one bottle of 100ml disinfectant spray will be given away. For a spend of MYR238, one pack of KF-AD face masks and one bottle of 100ml disinfectant spray will be donated.
There are many products to choose from but our picks are their gift sets which are the perfect presents for beauty enthusiasts in your life. There’s the Dr Belmeur Ad Cica Skincare Kit Holiday Set, Lip Care Cream Holiday Set and more. The donation drive will start on 15 November until 31 December.
