I'm always looking for gifts that give back. Many of these websites aren't only for Christmas but I use year round...birthdays, baby showers, new mommies. Friends send me more ideas and I find them on my own. I keep a bookmark bar for them "Gifts that Give Back" which makes it even easier. I hope this helps you through the holiday season gifting, and that it adds a bit of extra cheer as you know your gift is giving back just a little more.
