Listen — we know your brain is probably filling up with cyber deals and pleas from businesses you follow. And we don’t want to add to that mountain.

But we also know you might be doing some shopping... and if you are, we’d love to assist you in making sure some of your purchases make a difference, are sustainably and ethically made, and maybe even fill the world with more good news.

So we have a few things for you in this post. Dive in if it sounds helpful!

Inside this post:

  • Good Good Good’s best deal of the year
  • Your guide to the best gifts that give back (and more)
  • A roundup of cyber deals from ethical and sustainable brands
  • How to celebrate Small Business Saturday and Giving Tuesday

Everything you need for a “good good good” Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, and Giving Tuesday:

First: The best Goodnewspaper sale of the year —

Get good news delivered for only $5 per month!
