Song of the Week: White Christmas by The Drifters
If you're still looking for a few last minute Christmas Presents, here are seven suggestions of gifts that give back.
1. Toms Shoes
With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One.
2. Tshirts
Rosa Loves and The Yellow Bird Project are two organizations offering a good variety of cute and comfy tshirts with a purpose. All the proceeds from the shirts support different causes. You can read all the stories of the tshirts on their websites.
3. Donate to a charity in honor or in memory of someone.
There are tons of charities worthy of your support. If you are donating in honor or memory of a loved one, try looking for charities supporting your loved one's interests.
4. Sponsor an Endangered Animal
Give a gift that helps protect life on Earth. The World Wildlife Fund has hundreds of animals to adopt, as well as other ways to support the charity.
5. Gifts in Actions
Give a gift that lasts well beyond the Christmas Season and helps provide lasting solutions to poverty, hunger, and injustice. Organizations like Oxfam American, Heifer International, and Samaritan's Purse give you the opportunity to help children and families around the world receive training and animal gifts that help them become self-reliant.
6. Build a Nest
Nest empowers female artists and artisans around the world, helping them establish small businesses and moving women from poverty to self-sufficiency.
Nest offers a wide variety of beautiful handcrafted items and jewelry from the women in their program, as well as established "artists helping artists".
7. Volunteer
Spend time with your loved ones volunteering. You could ring a bell for the Salvation Army, serve a hot meal to the homeless, or spend time with an elderly person in a nursing home.
Hope you have a wonderful Holiday Season!
