17 Gifts That Give Back — That Are Feminist As Heck

revolucion Rachel Legging, $65, revolucionla.com

Give back: Each pair of leggings sold provides schooling for human trafficking victims

I'm a big fan of revolucion, a yoga apparel company that donates part of every purchase to contributing to social good. Each item purchased includes a social giveback, like the Rachel Legging. Each pair of Rachel Leggings sold provides two days of school for a girl escaping human trafficking in Bangkok, Thailand. If you've got a feminist yogi in your life, this is a thoughtful way to give them a gift they'll love while also making a difference. There are men's options, too so you can give a gift to the man in your life while still supporting a feminist cause. I have two pairs of revolucion leggings, and I love them.
