Echo's got the cutest winter accessories that just happen to support a cause we love.
Everyone has that person on their list who's impossible to buy for because they already have it all. And while I try to opt for more meaningful gifts in these situations -- like donations to a cause they'd appreciate -- a printed receipt shoved in an envelope always feels a bit anti-climactic in the midst of the ribbon-snapping, wrapper-flinging reverie. But since working at Cool Mom Picks, I've discovered that there's a whole world of amazing tangible gifts that also give back. Which is why I love these chic winter accessories by Echo and their Share the Warmth initiative. For every scarf, hat, or pair of gloves you buy this holiday season, Echo will donate a similar item to a young woman transitioning out of foster care. And supporting this important cause is something we can all feel warm and fuzzy about.

Echo has gorgeous warm weather accessories for everyone on my nice list. Plus, as someone who'll be very pregnant throughout the winter months ahead, I'm personally eyeing their ponchos and capes. Because with a cause this worthy, I could justify getting myself a Christmas present from their collection too. Purchase any cold weather accessories item from Echo between now and December 24th, and one will be donated to a young women transitioning out of foster care.
