Good morning!

I realize it is a bit late for gift shopping but I also know that there are many people who wait till the last minute. If you are one of those and you want to give something different to your friends and family, I have a fews fave sites that want to share with you.

 

• Kiva.org - micro lending.

We are a non-profit organization with a mission to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty. Leveraging the internet and a worldwide network of microfinance institutions, Kiva lets individuals lend as little as $25 to help create opportunity around the world. Learn more about how it works.

Since Kiva was founded in 2005:

• 861,519 Kiva lenders
• $387,553,500in loans
• 99.01% Repayment rate

We work with:

• 179 Field Partners
• 450 volunteers around the world
• 67 different countries

I love this site. With as little as a one time payment of $25 you can help someone in another part of the world grow their business. Peruse through the list and choose which business sounds interesting to you. This is a great site if you want to help women in business, let’s say in Kenya or Bolivia.

The site constantly changes depending on who needs loans at the particular time that you are looking. Once you invest in a business you can track how their funding is going. Once they are fully funded you can track how their payback. And then once the loan is fully pad back you have access to your money to reinvest in another business.

I received this as a gift from my brother years ago and I am still working my gift. My gift inspired me to gift this to others as well. It is truly a gift that keeps on giving.

• Heifer.org

The Holidays are for giving. This season give the gift of joy to a loved one while helping families around the world receive training and animal gifts that help them become self-reliant. Whether it’s for your husband or wife, children, grandparents, coworker or even a Secret Santa present, a gift from Heifer keeps on giving this holiday season.

 

I love this site too, and have given this gift as well. With as little as $10 you can share in gifting a goat for a family in need of daily milk for their children or for $100 share a gift in giving a young girl an education or gifting women by empowering them through training and assistance. Another gift that keeps on giving.

 

• Gun Buyback

How about doing our country a favor and giving up your gun? Over the past week since the Sandy Hook massacre, people have been bringing their guns, no questions asked, to places that will buy them back. These events are happening all over the county, so why not make a contribution to your community.

 

Last weekend Oakland-San Francisco hosted a big gun buyback,  which took more than 600 firearms off the streets. Check out your area for event near you, and help make the holidays…and every day more safer in your neighborhood. I love this idea. And hey, with the money you get back you can give a gift of love…whatever that means for you.

And lastly for those fashionistas out there…

• Joyus.com

…this came in my e-mail this morning and I thought this was fantastic. One of my fave fashion sites, Joyus is donating 100% of all their profits from all purchases today on their site to the United Way to support those affected by the tragedy in Newtown/Sand Hook. So…you can gift that great fashion item to your BFF and help people through this horrific tragedy.

That is it for my suggestions. And no, I am not benefitting from these gift suggestions, except for the fact that I get great joy from sharing them with you. :) Any you want to share? I would love to hear. Blog me.

Happy Gifting! Happy Holiday!

Peace & Love…this season…live it & GIVE it!

Lastly, greed over a great story is surfacing from my “loyal”(?) readers. With all this back and forth about who owns what, that appears on my blog, let me reiterate that all material posted on my blog becomes the sole property of my blog. If you want to reserve any proprietary rights don’t post it to my blog. I will prominently display this caveat on my blog from now on to remind those who may have forgotten this notice.

Gratefully your blog host,

michelle

   Hi Michelle,

   A very a nice post today. I love what heifer.org is all about. Your post is a great reminder that it’s better to give then receive. As humans I think (idealistically(?), that we should always be conscious of helping others, but not all participate in that thought. At least we have holidays to remind some of us to do so.

   I wish you and everyone a Very Merry Christmas.

   Much love,

   /SB

   ¡Feliz Navidad Michelle and all. I couldn’t get in all yesterday. Guess you took the day off. Here in Mexico we save 12 grapes so we can eat them one at a time and make a wish at midnight of the following year.

   Feliz Año Nuevo
