Now that the holiday season is upon us, everyone seems to be thinking about holiday gifts, family, friends, counting your blessings and feeling grateful on Thanksgiving.

Along with the busy shopping, cooking, wrapping and rushing that happens during this time of year, there’s always a warm tingly sense of togetherness that makes the holiday season so magical. That’s why I love the idea of True Meaning Jewelry.

This online boutique offers beautiful beaded jewelry that’s handmade by special needs artisans. Not only do many of their products support specific causes, they also offer you the chance to give back with your holiday shopping by simply providing individuals with disabilities the opportunity to bring home a paycheck while performing meaningful work.

I love the concept, and the jewelry! Check out a few of my favorites below:

Sea Glass Arthritis Awareness Bracelet

Allergy & Asthma Awareness Bracelet

Winter Jewelry Set featuring Glass Pearls and Swarovski Crystals along with a few of the artists hard at work!
