Raven and Lily - Cards for a cause
While I love to send a card and a little something to our friends and family on special occasions, that "little something" can definitely add up. So if you're looking for a way to send just a holiday or birthday card and not look like el cheapo, you'll want to visit Raven and Lily.

Their gorgeous blank greeting cards are more like one-of-a-kind pieces of art, with each handmade card created using repurposed fabrics and recycled paper cut offs (basically the stuff that usually gets tossed) by a volunteer design team in LA. But really, the best part is that 100% of the net proceeds of your "donation" goes to Global Action, a fantastic charity that provides support and economic opportunities for women and children.

There's just no way anyone could say anything other than thank you for receiving one of these. Even if it's the entire gift. -Kristen

You'll find a bunch of lovely cards and repurposed gifts at Raven and Lily.

Congratulations to Erin S, winner of the handmade cards from Raven and Lily!
