#itsinthebag Christmas Charity Drive

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas! That means it’s time to grab a handbag you don’t use much these days and fill it with goodies for a woman or girl experiencing homelessness or poverty this Christmas. You can help a woman doing it tough this festive season, it’s so simple and it will make a big difference in a woman’s life. First of all, choose a handbag in good condition that you no longer use. Then, fill it with items that would make a woman feel special, pop in a thoughtful note or Christmas card.
