giving more than just a gift
If you’re looking to give more than just another gift this season, consider pairing up a little something with a donation to a charitable organization. Then, when your friends and family receive your thoughtful themed present with a note about the donation you made in their honor to help others with greater needs than your own… you’ll truly be celebrating the real reason behind Christmas.
