Take Me to the Woods Gift Box from Parks Project
Parks Project was created to transform park enthusiasts into a movement of park champions. In addition to donating a portion of every sale to fund projects through one of their 50 park conservancy partners, they also coordinate volunteer days to service National Parks. In addition to their gift box, we love their candles and playing cards that bring a bit of the outdoor spirit in!
