Tea that soothes the senses, welcomes friends and warms a home. This season, here’s the perfect gift for your family, friends or colleagues: eight premium organic and exotic tea varieties in four elegantly-packaged box sets from Caranda Fine Foods. And, best of all – for each box sold, 50% of the sale price supports IRC’s programs to help rebuild lives shattered by war.

Rescue Candles

Also from the Rescue Collection by Caranda, these eight beautiful, fragrant candles illuminate hope. Light a Rescue Candle and your small, simple act is powerful--just as you create this haven for yourself, you help to create it for uprooted people around the world. Half of all proceeds support IRC’s work to bring them from harm to home.

Each day, women around the world carry colorful woven bags to market. Bags like these also often hold a family’s few belongings as refugees are forced to flee from war and devastation.

With that inspiration, the hottest Hollywood fashion boutique, Intuition, has created “Must-Have” MARKET BAGS to help support IRC education for children of war. Designed by Intuition founder Jaye Hersh for everyday wear—and with celebrity fans including Reese Witherspoon, Eva Longoria (shown above) and Jessica Simpson—the bags can be purchased exclusively through www.shopintuition.com.  Chic and practical, they come in four different styles and can be monogrammed, including a great book bag for school girls and the perfect tote for busy Moms. For each bag sold, Intuition will donate $35 to the IRC. The goal of this exciting collaboration is to raise $175,000 for the IRC’s education programs around the world.
