Charitable Christmas presents that make a difference

Are you looking for a different way to give presents this year? Consider these suggestions for gifts that give back.

Donate to your loved one’s favourite charity 

Make a meaningful impact by donating to a charity that holds a special place in your loved one’s heart. For example, consider donating in their name to organizations such as the World Wildlife Fund, Save the Children or a local animal shelter. You can even support a specific cause that aligns with their passions.

Dedicate trees or green space in your loved one’s name

Give the gift of sustainability by dedicating trees or a plot of woodland in your loved one’s name through organizations like A Living Tribute. This present will help combat deforestation and create a legacy in honour of your loved one.

Sponsor a family in need in your loved one’s name

Spread joy and goodwill on behalf of your loved one by supporting a family facing hardship. You can connect with a local charitable fund or an international program like Save the Children or UNICEF. These organizations provide essential resources and support to people in need during the holiday season.

You can also buy physical gifts from a local non-profit or free-trade shop. Look for handmade jewelry, artisanal crafts or organic goods that make good gifts and directly benefit communities and artisans around the world.
