Threadless loves hurricane victims
My favorite semi-designer hipster t-shirt outlet, Threadless, raised $50,000 for the Red Cross in less than 48 hours. If you buy this shirt, the company will give $10 to the Red Cross. The shirt is $10, so, basically, you’re giving $10 to charity and getting a neat shirt for the cost of shipping.
In other charitable merchandising news, biggerKrissy will give you a free special-edition biggerBauble if you do something nice for society and then send her a note about it. Details are available here. Craft Revolution, Etsy and a bunch of other kickass websites have teamed up to produce Crafters United, which has already raised over $14,000 by selling donated goods (mostly amazing handmade stuff).
So, in summary, remember to accessorize responsibly.
