Gifts that Give Back...


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.

Women for Women International

Your gifts will benefit the women we serve in the eight countries where we work. With your support, women in our programs will receive job training, learn about their rights and their health and build social networks. You will truly be making a lasting impact on the lives of women survivors of war.
