SAVE ON HOLIDAY GIFTING
December 2nd 2011 21:52
At this time of the season, so many of us feel compelled
to run out and purchase token gifts for those who have no
need of such things. We feel it is our duty, according to
our various faith traditions to shop and wrap until we drop,
to have something to give our relatives, friends and business
associates to show "we care."
Absolute madness, we at Bargain Value know. How about
rethinking this waste of time and resources this year, yet
give those you care about something to remember?
How about this for a REFRESHING change of pace:
Find out the target of your giftings favorite non-profit,
legitimate charitable organization.
Call up this charity to inquire about making a donation in
your friends or family members' names. Offer to give
a cash or gift-in-kind donation and request a snail-mailed
or e-mailed receipt.
Wrap the receipt up along with a nice handwritten note and
present it to your friend or family member. How giving is
that!!!!
Does your boyfriend really need that new I-phone? Come on,
how about giving a lasting gift that has the potential to affect
many lives?
Donating to viable, efficent organizations that feed the starving,
help to heal the sick, house the homeless, provide clean
water sources or a thousand other worthy causes.
Indeed, this practice breaks the cycle of selfish materialism.
It may not be as cool as giving an expensive bobble like
Herman Cain or Newt Gingrich might give the variety of women
in their lives, yet it will be unforgettable.
Even if you break up with your current boyfriend, girlfriend or
spouse, rest assured, they will always remember who gave to
their favorite charity in honor of them as a non-traditional holiday
gift.
Try it this year. It could save a few lives along the way. Isn't
that what gift-giving is truly about?
