Spoil Mom with a Gift That Gives Back
Sonja and Tina at the SEEDs Garden of Treasures – where every sale supports a life-changing program.
Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate the women who have shaped us, supported us, and stood beside us through every season of life. This year, what if your gift could do even more?
What if it could create opportunity, empower individuals, and support a mission rooted in purpose?
At Charity Charms, every piece we create already carries that kind of impact — because every order is assembled by our incredible production partner, Seeds for Autism.

When Sustainability Meets Purpose
Two Missions. One Natural Fit.
Recently, Seeds for Autism connected with Green Living Magazine, a platform rooted in sustainability and conscious living. The alignment was immediate.
Both organizations share a belief that small, thoughtful choices — like where we shop and what we give — can create meaningful change.
When these two missions came together, it was more than a collaboration. It was a natural fit. A reminder that when purpose leads, the right partnerships follow.
Seeds out in the community — bringing their mission and their makers to the people.
More Than a Partnership
A Community Built Around Purpose
Seeds for Autism is more than a production partner. They are a community dedicated to providing meaningful vocational opportunities for adults with autism — helping individuals build skills, confidence, and independence through hands-on work.
One extension of that mission is their Thrift Store, a vibrant, purpose-driven space where sustainability and opportunity come together. Every item sold supports their programs while giving individuals valuable, real-world job experience.
“It’s impact you can see — and feel.”

Give a Gift That Gives Back — Anywhere
You can still give a gift that gives back, no matter where you are. When you shop through Seeds for Autism, you’re not just purchasing a product. You’re supporting a program that creates opportunities, builds confidence, and fosters independence for adults with autism.
And when you choose Charity Charms, that impact continues — because every bracelet, charm, and piece is thoughtfully assembled through this same partnership.
“This Mother’s Day, consider giving more than a gift. Give a story. Give impact. Give purpose.”
— Charity Charms
Because the most meaningful gifts aren’t just received — they’re felt far beyond the moment they’re opened.
