I purchased the November 2009 magazine specifically for the “16 gifts that give back” and wanted to be certain that I did that this year. I was so diasspointed when I got the magazine home and only found 8 GIFTS LISTED IN THE MAGAZINE. I searched and searched and had others search as well…..Did I miss something????Unfortunately I didn’t think of going to this website until now (after Christmas)

For those of you still looking for a last minute gift for a special woman in your life, please visit my etsy store http://www.etsy.com/shop/sweetcharitydesigns . I design and create jewelry donating all the time and supplies so that 100% of the money brought in can go towards a scholarship fund to help young women in Chicago’s inner city go to private high school. Please help us. This is an excellent cause!

I’d like to call your attention to my client, GiveCard, a first-of-its-kind gift card that lets the person you give it to make a donation to the charity of their choice from the Charity Navigator database and spend the rest of the card amount like cash. It’s available at http://www.givecard.com

Great list of ideas. I encouraged people to do the same on my toy blog, but didn’t do near as good a job as you did here. Time to go rewrite, lol.

If you are wanting to buy Fair Trade you should look into Fair Trade Sports. They have a great selection of sports equipment. (soccer, football, basketball, rugby, volleyball, etc) Their RESPECT sports balls really put out a positive message which all the kids, and coaches, love. Plus, Fair Trade Sports has all their after-tax profits going to charity. http://www.fairtradesports.com

This is the home site to many other sites that benefit women and children in need. The products are awesome if you need a wrap-it-up gift. I like the idea of giving $ in my friend’s name to send girls in Afghanistan shoes for the winter. Do any of us really need one more little gift? Great choices Julie!

Hi!

Thanks for the ideas. I own a pair of TOMS shoes and they are the best. I would buy lots of them if I could. Also, way to go on the soccer balls for the refugees. They are a much needed source of entertainment.
