NATIONAL GIVE SOMETHING AWAY DAY

NATIONAL GIVE SOMETHING AWAY DAY
National Give Something Away Day is celebrated annually on July 15. This is a day to give something to someone. It can be a basic necessity like shoes or clothing or something simple like flowers or a balloon. National Give Something Away Day is a day to pay it forward and do something nice for someone, whether it is someone you know or a stranger. Giving back is what this day is about. Here are some amazing companies that GIVE BACK everyday, not just today.

Mitscoots

While volunteering along the streets of Texas, Tim and Agata Scott discovered that right after food and water, there was no greater request among the less fortunate than for a clean pair of socks. They set out to do something about it and created the company Mitscoots. Mitscoots makes awesome bright and bold socks in three different styles — casual, active and performance. Perfect for men, women and children! The Mitscoots mission: Get + Give + Employ. For every pair purchased, Mitscoots gives away a pair of socks to someone in need in the U.S. and they take pride in employing folks who are transitioning out of homelessness to help package the socks at their headquarters in Austin. Check out Mitscoots online at www.mitscoots.com.

Zymbol – Inspirational Jewelry

The Zymbol (www.zymbol.net) pendant was created accidentally. After the founder decided to write the phrase, “Love is all you need” with a peace sign all stacked on top of one another, all the letters of the alphabet in addition to numbers 0 through 9 were found embedded within the design. WOW! What were the chances of that happening, ever? Well, after wearing the pendant around town for a couple of weeks and getting enormous positive reactions from people it came to pass that the Zymbol pendant quickly became a personalized inspirational piece of  jewelry that can mean anything to anyone. Each Zymbol pendant comes with a gift card that allows one to trace their individual Zymbol (inspirational) message that can evolve and change for each day or simply remain constant. Wear yours and trace out names, places, dates, goals, challenges, inspirations, and anything that you are thankful for. The entire collection is truly a spirit lifter and has touched so many people in so many different places.

In addition, for every Zymbol sold the company gives an acrylic pendant to a child in the hospital for the sake of true inspiration. See the following link for coverage: http://www.zymbol.net/spreading-love
