Few style choices are more enduringly precious than a pair of Toms. Unlike some hideous footwear that won’t go away in L.A., I hope they become the Lacoste of shoes (“the gator never goes out of style,” or so we’ve been told since childhood).

But I hadn’t thought of gifting the charity line until I saw founder Blake Mycoskie’s holiday video (below) For those who don’t know, Toms gives a pair of shoes to a needy child in Argentina, Ethiopia and other countries for each pair of Toms purchased. How great is that?

Gift cards can be sent online if you’re not up-to-date on the shoe sizes of your loved ones. — Krista Jennings
