Shop for Women in Need

Every weekend I tell myself I am not going shopping. I have an internal struggle every Saturday morning to stay firmly planted on my couch instead of one foot out the door to the millions of stores outside my apartment.

But when my purchases go towards a good cause, I feel less guilty about my purchase and more satisfied that I did something that helped someone else. That's why I will have no guilt if I decide to purchase this hand knit pashmina scarf. Tonic, a leading media site and the Citta Himalaya Women's Center have teamed up to help support the new Jaisalmer Women's Center in Rajasthan, India.

The program is called, $100 for 100 Women in Need, and when you buy this scarf your purchase will help 100 women who really need it. Each scarf has Sanskirt phrases embroidered by Himalayan women that they feel are important. Pick from scarves that Scarlett Johansson wore (her chosen word is "reuse"), Queen Latifah, Sting, and many other celebs fighting for this cause.

The scarf can be purchased on Tonic.com starting today, Nov. 11.

Have you ever bought something for charity?
