I admit it: I’m a fan of pretty much every one of those daily-deals sites. Hand me an exclusive membership to sweet deals on designer merch and I get a little thrill.
And this new site totally supersizes that thrill in the coolest way possible, because every purchase I make goes to my daughter’s own school.
Treehouse Tykes is a private-member site that features awesome brands of kids’ clothing, toys, books, and furniture–up to 70% off. But here’s the key difference between it and other sales sites: 10% of your purchase goes to the school, or charitable organization of your choice.
There’s a long list of nonprofits from which you can choose, but you can also add in your own–and your 10% is immediately sent their way. Perfect for this time of year, when all kinds of orgs are making their end-of-year pleas for donations.
Can I tell you how satisfying it was to buy my daughter a super-cool art backpack and know that her own school was benefiting? Way more satisfying than picking out random wrapping paper from a fundraising booklet. Way. -Lexi

This site sounds great but as you said, it is private. How would I go about getting an invitation?
Click on the Treehouse Tykes link above and just sign up. Leave the line blank where it asks for the member’s email address of who invited you. I did and it worked.
