We love this: The gift that gives back

A scarf may not be the most unusual Christmas gift, but it sure is a practical present in the blustery dead of winter.

Take your gift-giving one step further by investing in a classic, limited edition investment piece for your loved one like the brightly-coloured plaid print merino wool Give Your Heart scarf from Hugo Boss.

We especially love this particular piece because partial proceeds from the sale of each one go to Save the Children -- the world's largest independent children's charity with projects in over 120 countries. Save the Children will receive US$10 from Hugo Boss from the sale of each scarf and these contributions will go to support a project to combat child labour in the Indian textile industry.

Available at select Boss stores across Canada, $145.
