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.
