Instead of giving another tie or candle this year, DC’s chicly charitable may be boxing up
hope and happiness this holiday season. Here’s two ways how it can happen:
First, there’s Gifts That Give Hope‘s 2nd annual Gift Fair in Arlington on Saturday, December 8, (10AM – 2PM), which features 15 local and global nonprofit organizations for a cause close to everyone’s heart. Shoppers can purchase alternative gifts — like sponsoring a birthday party for a child in need, providing food for a homeless veteran, or paying for a heartworm test for a dog in a shelter — that will directly benefit the mission of those organizations. Then give a card to your friend that alerts them a gift was given in their honor.
Or were you thinking of just giving a generic gift card? CharityGiftCertificates.org sends pre-purchased e- or physical cards to your recipient… and they pick up to three charities to benefit. It is thoughtful of you and meaningful to your gift-recipient.
Either way is awesome for alternative gifting.
Make a wont out of the season’s wants!
