The daily steal: Charity: water bracelets, $5
While you are running around all the post-Christmas sales, do take time out for a good deed. Drop by a Miss Sixty/Energie (misssixty.com) boutique or outlet and pick up a charity: water bracelet for $5. A full 100 per cent of the purchase price goes to bring clean, safe drinking water to people in developing nations. One bracelet alone can give one person clean water for five years. Since September 2008, Sixty Group has donated more than US$20,000 to charity: water through various projects – enough to build four wells and bring clean, safe drinking water to more than 2,000 people.
