A gift bag that truly has H.E.A.R.T.

Somewhere in between bargain hunting and gift wrapping I make sure that I stop to think about how blessed I am in so many ways. After all, isn't that what this season is supposed to be about? Fashionology, a fun, interactive, design-your-own-clothes website agrees, and has come up come up with a smart (and stylish) way to help women and children who have been victims of abuse, sexual assault or domestic violence.

Fashionology teamed up with H.E.A.R.T (Helping Ease Abuse-Related Trama) and put together a $40 gift bag that is sure to brighten the spirit of the young girls who receive them. Each gift set comes with a cool tote bag, a t-shirt, headbands and a cuddly teddy bear, because no girl is ever too old for a teddy bear.

Speaking of H.E.A.R.T., it breaks mine to think that there are moms out there right now who have to worry about their, and their children's safety. If you think your child is old enough, let her be part of picking out which style bag to buy and let her know why you're doing it. Because, even though we're all trying to count our pennies right now, if you can swing it, I think is a great use of $40. -Betsy
