I came across this great site called CharityGiftCertificates.com a while back, and I thought I'd share. You can buy a gift certificate for someone and then they get to choose a charity to give the money to. It's such a great idea, especially because, although I love getting someone the perfect gift, gift giving just gets so, well, materialistic sometimes. When I find a really great gift for someone that I know they'll love, I get really excited. But sometimes, I think we buy gifts for people because we feel like we have to give them something, even when nothing jumps out at you.
That's how I came across this site. I was trying desperately to find something for Heather for her birthday, but I wasn't having any flashes of brilliance. And then I thought, she really likes to give to charities and ministries. I didn't know which charity she'd want, though, so I googled charity gift certificates. This place turned out to give the most to the actual charity. This year I gave them as Mother's Day gifts, too.
Soooo...check them out next time you need to buy a gift!
