Brand designer Thomas Hillman announces three new T-shirt designs—just in time for the holidays.

“This holiday, you can give a gift that embodies peace,” says tee designer, Thomas Hillman. “My goal with this line is to remind people to tread gently, with each other and the planet—especially at this time of year. Hopefully it’s an easy choice and it will take some of the stress out of holiday shopping.”

In the spirit of giving, 5% of all tee sales are donated to Greenpeace USA, the Pretty In Pink Foundation for women diagnosed with breast cancer, the Home Base Program for Veterans diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or Traumatic Brain Injury, and Feeding America. Contributing also to his home state, Hillman will donate 5% of Maine sales to Maine-based charities.
