5 Holiday Gift Ideas That Benefit Great Charities
Posted on | December 25, 2009 |
There are some gift-giving instances where killing two birds with one stone doesn’t work. For instance, buying your girlfriend a nice fluffy bathrobe because you want to borrow it does not count… especially if she finds you wearing it on the couch hours later with a glass of eggnog and Home Alone on the TV.
But there are some times when you can benefit more than the recipient with a thoughtful gift. Here are five fun gifts to consider this holiday season that donate portions of their proceeds to great causes. Note that some of them may no longer guarantee delivery by the holidays on regular ground shipping but expedited methods are available.
