A new way to give from the heart this Valentine’s Day

Posted on February 2, 2012 by Guest blogger in Causes, Partnerships

Last October, we introduced our readers to GIVEN, the new line of apparel inspired by World Vision whose sales help support our global work. Thirty percent of revenue from purchases of the clothing items and accessories is donated to support our programs that serve children, families, and communities around the world. Today, Kevin Murray, CEO and founder of Jedidiah and Made For Good, writes another guest post in which he shares new opportunities through GIVEN for supporters to honor the women they love by helping women in need this Valentine’s Day. We’re excited to share this unique gift idea with you!...

A different kind of Cyber Monday

Posted on November 28, 2011 by Mindy Mizell in Gift Catalog

I dread holiday shopping. It’s difficult enough to figure out just the perfect gift for each and every loved one on your holiday list. But if you add in the hassle of navigating crowded shopping malls, long lines, and busy parking lots, I know I’m destined for an instant stress headache before I even walk through the store’s doors. No wonder so many of us have resorted to ditching traditional brick-and-mortar shopping and have opted for virtual shopping. And it’s no wonder this Cyber Monday could exceed $1 billion for the second year in a row. I’ll admit — I’ve given and received my fair share of Christmas sweaters. There is a stack in my closet, and I have no...

Holiday gift guide: 30 meaningful gifts under $50

Posted on November 25, 2011 by Lindsey Talerico-Hedren in Gift Catalog

Does your holiday shopping list look anything like this? iPad 2: $499. Kindle Fire: $199. UGG boots: $150. Long lines. Busy parking lots.

GIVEN: Inspired by World Vision | World Vision Blog

When I interviewed Kevin back in April, he spoke of Jedidiah’s unique ability to connect fashion with social causes, his heart for the child trafficking issue, and how combined, these two things have fueled a partnership between Jedidiah and World Vision. At the tail end of our chat, he mentioned Jedidiah’s newest venture — creating a brand consortium that will leverage the Made For Good mission statement and embedded generosity model. Today, he guest blogs to let us know exactly what he’s been up to the last six months…. -Lindsey, managing editor, WV Blog * * * A lot has been happening since the last time I interviewed on this blog.
