Acqua di Parma's holiday collection for 2021 (including the advent calendar) features an Emilio Pucci print, and a portion of the proceeds go to Save the Children's Rewrite the Future campaign. Shown is the Notte di Stelle Diffuser: "The Vortici print dresses up both the bottle and the box of the Notte di Stelle diffuser, a real design object to perfume the home with the special atmosphere of the Holidays. A warm and bright fragrance where the balsamic notes of pine oil and the scents of birch and guaiac wood are combined with the spicy accents of clove and the pungent hint of raspberry." Available in 180 (€91) and 500 (€185) ml. (There is also a candle in two sizes. I have not seen this year's design in the US as of yet, but these are usually sold at Neiman Marcus and other high end department stores.)

BirdProject Soap from Goods That Matter: "Each black, bird-shaped soap contains a handmade ceramic bird, which remains as a keepsake once the outer soap has washed away. Through the daily act of washing, you will eventually free the clean, white, ceramic birds inside - potent symbols of restoration and recovery. The soap is shaped to be cradled in your hand and is a powerful representation of all creatures affected by the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Disaster. The soaps are made with natural, locally sourced ingredients: biodiesel glycerin, fair trade olive oil, aloe, activated black charcoal, and a light cypress scent - reminiscent of Louisianan bayous. 10% of proceeds are donated to environmental cleanup and care for affected animals of the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Disaster. (Gulf Restoration Network & International Bird Rescue) $28,674 donated and counting!" $28.
