Global Giving, Charity of the Day

Most of us want to give our loved one gifts that are meaningful and heartfelt. What could be more so than a gift card that allows the recipient give something meaningful and heartfelt? That's exactly the premise behind Global Giving. Purchase a 100% biodegradable gift card in any denomination and let your loved ones choose which cause to support. From AIDS to women's causes, the Global Giving Website offers over 400 hundred opportunities to help those in need through grassroots projects around the world.

The site also includes a section where you can see how your donations are making a difference and information on how you can get more involved in your pet cause. Gift card orders placed before 2 pm EST on December 19 will be delivered by December 24. If you are like me and tend to wait until the very last minute, expedited shipping is available until December 21 at 2 pm EST.
