Hi Rowena! You are right, during Christmas time, the purchase of charitable gifts is a perfect occasion for giving back. Your selection is great dear, I have a more reason to try that MAC lipstick in which I have recently got a huge obsession. I also like the Wink Bag and the MK watch. Kisses dear, have a good day! xo
