The SF SPCA loves gifts that give back. This holiday season, consider giving gifts that not only delight, but also make a difference in your community.
1 & 2. Kerri Lehmann's Rocks with Soul
Fine jewelry with a conscious is one of our favorite things. 10 percent of sales from the website go to beneficiaries, such as the SF SPCA.
3. Sconset Sweetreets
Proving you are never too young to start helping your community, 16 year old Jenny Golden started Sconset Sweetreets to benefit her favorite charities. At the moment, 100% of the profits go to the SF SPCA. These delectable cookies are addictive, so be warned (and buy plenty!) You can find Sconset Sweetreets at the following stores: Sue Fisher King: 3067 Sacramento St, San Francisco; Bryan’s Market: 3445 California St, San Francisco; Comforts Café: 335 San Anselmo Ave, San Anselmo.
4. glassybaby
glassbaby, which just opened a San Francisco store, has designated the SF SPCA as the beneficiary of sales of the beautiful 'friendship' votive. When lit, the handblown glass gives off an ethereal glow- simply lovely. These make thoughtful gifts and will add a sumptuous warmth to your holiday table. Visit the store at 3665 Sacrament St or order online.
5-7. JD Wilson Paintings
If you went to the recent Jay Farrar performance at the Sweetwater in Mill Valley, you got a preview of the art at auction benefitting the Utley Foundation and SF SPCA.
