I love shopping from the World Vision Gift Catalog because instead of giving people more useless and frivolous gifts, you can make a gift in their name and give others a chance at a better life.
There are more than 250 items, ranging in price from $10 to $39,000 available online and in the print catalog to help improve quality of life for women, children and families in the U.S. and around the world. When you give where it is needed most, they can receive handcrafted gifts that are perfect for holiday baking or entertaining.
I received this beautiful African Soapstone box. The soapstone box is hand-carved and a perfect place to put jewelry or other trinkets. This ornate handmade gift is etched by talented artisans in Kenya who are using this sustainable resource to lift themselves and their families out of poverty.
My favorite items in the catalog are the animals. You can give chickens, goats, ducks and other animals. These help so many people and the person who receives the card that you gave this gift in their name will be thrilled. If you have people on your list who have everything, this is a great option.
Since it began in 1996, the World Vision Gift Catalog has grown in popularity as a gift-giving alternative; more than 844,000 people helped someone through the Catalog in the last fiscal year alone. Go look at the catalog and see how you can help.
