Unique Gifts for the Holidays

Twitten - Original Gifts

Twittens are for lovers! The Twitten is a single glove that happy couples can hold hands in. Hand-made in Peru, 100% women-owned & fair trade, Twitten donates 20% of its profits to the Bodhi Fund, which helps provide access to cancer treatment. Although this “fun-of-a-kind" item has expanded to a lovely knitted array of items, the original Twitten starts under $45 -- an ideal gift for the lovers in your life.

Perfect for dog-walking, as happy couple Michael Lewis and Kate Konigisor illustrate. True orginals themselves (they've been together for 13 years), the couple has come up with a unique way to share their passion -- for Shakespeare, each other, and their beloved NYC, still ravaged from Hurricane Sandy -- by putting together a benefit on December 17: Shakespeare with Benefits - Sandy Relief: A Bard-Based Variety show. Even if you can't get there (and maybe see them in their Twitten), you can donate to this very worthy cause this holiday season when so many still don't have the warmth of hearth and home.
