Holiday Gift Guide
MBE partnered with World Vision for this post
Meaningful Holiday Gifts That Help Others + Giveaway Below
With Hanukkah December 12-20 this year and Christmas just a few days later, those of us who are last minute shopping for presents for family and friends are needlessly stressed out beyond imagination. What if it's the wrong size or color or if the person pretends to like the gift I buy for them but actually hates it? Just as bad: If you opt to give a gift card instead of an actual present will the recipient think you didn't care enough to give the very best?
The 2017 edition of World Vision Holiday Gift Catalog is just the thing to help frenzied holiday shoppers out with affordable, beautiful and thoughtful gifts that also give back, benefiting children, families and communities around the world. The best part is this is a good place to shop for the person who already has everything.
From purchases of animals, medicine, bicycles, tools, seeds, and training for third world communities to buying healthy food, school supplies, diapers, clothing and more for kids in-need right here in the US, your gift can and will make a difference.
For example, the most popular gift is a goat plus two chickens ($110). Prices start at just $25 for two chickens and up, there's even a Christmas Nativity gift you can buy including a donkey, sheep and goat for $635. Whatever your purchase online, the you can send the recipient a personalized card or e-card describing your heartfelt gift.
