Even more gifts that give back

Ted McEnroe, bless his soul, is back with more of those gifts that mean a little something extra. Take a gander at the video. Links can be found by clicking on this post’s title.

[Ted note: Don’t miss the Give List – more than 70 gifts you can give that cost nothing. Nada. Zippo. Zilch. Zero. You get the idea. There are some great ideas… I might have to write more about it later.

As we find ourselves deeper in the holiday season, gift giving begins to move its way to the front burner. But before one can give a gift, one must buy a gift. Or maybe not.

Beth Kanter points out on her blog a few different ways to give this holiday season, including a simple way to get a major corporation to give to the Boston Food Bank.

We also take a look at the site NetworkForGood.org, which helps with online fundraising. They offer the Good Card. Rather than donating in someone’s name, you can make a donation on this card, which the gift receiver can then apply to a charity of their choosing in the Network For Good. If you would like a hard copy of the card, get a jump on it. It takes up to two weeks for delivery.

And if that’s not enough for you kindhearted gift givers, take a peek at TheGiveList.org. It is a list of, so far, 71 ways to give a gift without opening your wallet.
