Five Charitable Gifts that Give Back

There are charitable gifts and there are charitable gifts that actually give twice.

While it's easy to make a donation to any nonprofit organization, you can mix your charitable gifts and your family gifts, and get two gifts for the price of one. That’s why, in 2012, you should consider using Gifts that Give for all your gift-giving opportunities. Because it not only provides you with high quality gift items, but also an opportunity to give to charitable gifts that can be used for tax deductions.



It really doesn’t matter what the occasion or for whom you are buying. Gifts that Give offers gift ideas for everyone. Whether young or old, male or female, for birthdays or holidays, Gifts that Give can cover every gift-giving occasion. And you get to choose which organizations you support.



Looking for a gift for that special woman in your life? We've had more than a few people with their eye on Riedel's Black Tie Bliss Decanter for $195. Top it off with charitable gifts to a nonprofit that's near and dear to her heart. Maybe it's the Susan Komen Foundation or the La Jolla San Diego Heart Institute; buying the Black Tie Bliss Decanter will send $39 in charitable giving to the nonprofit of your choice.



What about that special man? Tired of buying another tie for Father’s Day? Gifts that Give offers a myriad of gifts that men will enjoy from sports-related items to grooming supplies. Is he an outdoorsman? Would a donation to the Sierra Club be meaningful to him? Or maybe he's a sports fan. Give him a set of MLB Chicago Cubs cuff links for $125, and give $25 in his name to the Hutchison Institute for Prevention and Cure of Prostate Cancer.



Gifts that Give has a tremendous selection of items for babies and children. Clothing, stuffed animals, and toys are just some of the items available. Like the PluiePluie rain coat and rain boots or the Bestever Baby Mat Bear, with charitable gifts going to the Ace Mentor Program of America or Children First Head Start in Los Angeles.



And it doesn't stop there. You can buy gifts for pets — sweaters, collars, and accessories of all kinds — for your friends who just love to pamper their four-legged friends. Get a Fab Dog turtleneck sweater, reversible puffer, or even a raincoat, and send some charitable gifts to the Born To Be Wild Nature Center in Rhode Island.



If you spent 2011 just buying for the sake of buying, then resolve to do better in 2012. Use Gifts that Give for all of your gift-giving needs and multiply the giving with charitable gifts. Ensure that your loved ones get something they will treasure, give charitable gifts that will spread your giving to others, and create a way for you to benefit with your taxes as well.

Charitable Giving Gift Ideas

Charitable Giving always sees an increase during the holidays. It's the end of the year, so nonprofits are sending out their fundraising letters, asking us to support them. We help them as much as we can with our charitable giving, supporting our favorite causes and the ones we hold most dear.

You could give to Susan G. Komen for the Cure in a friend or family member’s name. Another option is to support the Sierra Club or the Nature Conservancy, because you want to leave the earth in better shape for your children.

So wouldn't it be great if you could support your favorite cause with more than just your charitable giving and volunteering? What if your holiday shopping could support your charitable giving as well?

Gifts that Give is the way you can give to charitable organizations while you shop. We donate 20% of your order — $1 out of every $5 — to the nonprofit of your choice as soon as you place your order. And you can get your shopping done at the same time.

There are more than 1.2 million charitable organizations, nonprofits, and causes you can support through your gift buying. Not only that, but you can browse through top name brands, like Riedel glassware and wine decanters, Jay Strongwater jewelry, and even Michael Aram home accessories. Other brands include Toss Designs, Anna Weatherly, Picnic Plus, Trésor, and Pearhead.

The way it works is this: You make a purchase on GiftsthatGive.com, and we give 20% of your purchase to the charity you choose. You can register as a VIP to take advantage for additional VIP benefits, or just check out as a guest. Then you tell your friends on Facebook and Twitter about GiftsthatGive, and help them with their own shopping.

You can even create your own Gifts that Give fundraiser page on Facebook. Steer all your friends to that page, and as they make their own purchases, your chosen charity will receive $1 of every $5 in charitable giving as well.

To top it all off, your charitable giving dollars are tax deductible. Any charitable giving amounts more than $10 can be applied toward your taxes the following year. The same goes for your friends — they get the same charitable giving tax benefits.

So if you're looking for designer name table linens, technology accessories, gorgeous designer bags, jewelry, or high-quality glassware, we've got it. We even have stuff for the men in your life (Edwin Jagger shaving kits), your kids (PluiePluie raincoats and rain boots), and even your pets (great dog sweaters and collars from Fab Dog). 

If you want to handle your holiday shopping and charitable giving at the same time, check out GiftsthatGive.com and find great gift ideas for everyone on your list.

Charitable Giving Through Gift Giving



Including charitable giving with the regular holiday gift giving time can be a little tough, especially when you have several people to buy for, and you want to give something that is both beautiful and meaningful. You want to give them something they will treasure for years, and yet, there is that list of charitable giving you want to do this year. How do you make it all work out?

What if you could combine both your gift giving and charitable giving at the same time?

At Gifts that Give, we have made it possible for shoppers to give gifts that, well, give to others. That is, when you buy a gift for someone, you can give to a nonprofit organization as well.

The way it works is that whenever you purchase a gift on our website, we will donate 20% — $1 out of every $5 — of every purchase to the nonprofit organization of your choice. So if you buy a $100 gift, we will send $20 in charitable giving in your name to any organization of your choice. Whether it is saving wildlife, helping the environment, feeding the hungry, or providing educational opportunities to young scholars, there are literally more than 1.5 million nonprofit organizations and causes you can choose to help through your charitable giving and gift giving.

Gifts that Give carries a number of different high-quality, beautiful designer items for women, men, and kids including any designer label enthusiasts, sports fans, and technology users. Whether you are interested in items for the kitchen or outside, you can find great gift ideas for everyone on your list.

And buying your items is very simple considering we have a variety of different electronic payment options, where we can also record your designated charitable organization, and immediately attach the charitable giving to your chosen organization. There is even a VIP club you can join so you can enjoy access to even more benefits. Just by registering during checkout, you can automatically become a member, and make your charitable giving go even further. 

Finally, because we rely on word-of-mouth marketing to spread the word, we make it possible for you to link up your Facebook and Twitter accounts, as well as your email, so you can help your friends and family find their own charitable giving ideas, and maybe even share a few of your own. (Don't worry, we won't tell your friends what you got them.)

Gifts that Give prides itself on having high-end, exclusive gift ideas for even the most difficult person to buy for. But at the same time, we help you find gifts that also have an extra meaning and significance, not only to the recipient, but to you, and especially the people who benefit from your generosity and charitable giving.
