World Vision Gifts For The Holidays
World Vision Catalog
Gift Catalog– I believe it is important to give back year-round, but during the holidays it seems people think of giving back most. I have to admit it, but I do not give as I would like to. If any of you are like me, I think the World Vision Gift Catalog may be able to assist us all while gift giving. World Vision Gifts For The Holidays offer a wide selection of gifts
The World Vision Gift Catalog offers more than 250 items that help fight poverty and save lives here in the US and around the world. With a financial contribution, donors can select one of the 30+ Handcrafted Gifts that can be shared with a loved one and at the same time help a person in need. I have received the Colors of Africa Bracelet and Earring Set. I plan to give it to my daughter for Christmas. She is going to love it. The set is beautiful. I know she will appreciate this gift in more ways than one. She already has a connection with World Vision because she is sponsoring a child. Here are a few items that are in the catalog:
 |
| Colors of Africa Bracelet & Earring Set |
– Cinnamon Box: Created from the dried inner bark of Cassia (Cinnamon) trees by skilled artisans in Vietnam; these boxes help families receive social and health insurance as well as the opportunity to apply for scholarship funds.
– Hand-woven Headband: This beautiful, 100% cotton headband woven by skilled workers in Lake Atitlan in Guatemala helps address the urgent needs of children, families or communities that might otherwise go unmet.
– Ornament Set: This set includes three handmade Zakale wire and bead animal trio ornaments from Nairobi.
– Gertie the Plush Goat: Gertie is available exclusively through World Vision and represents farm animals that are donated to children and families around the world and provide a steady supply of nutritious food and the surplus can be sold for extra income.
- Organize a family giving night and have kids select charitable gifts from an organization such as the World Vision Gift Catalog. Talk with your children about how giving back changes the lives of children and families living in poverty and that their efforts truly make a difference.
- Host a house party for friends and family and ask your guests to contribute to a share of a group gift such as a farm animal, winter clothing or school supplies to families in need, or even a water well. Make the selection of the item, how to raise funds for that gift, and the collection of the money a collaborative, group effort.
- After Black Friday and Cyber Monday holiday shopping, consider celebrating Giving Tuesday (12/3) and make meaningful, life-changing gift purchases such as medicine, mosquito nets or a fish pond.
- Be active in your giving — volunteer at your local homeless shelter or senior living center; cook a meal or bake cookies for an elderly family member or neighbor.
I never hesitate ( all year long) to give some spare change to any homeless people I see, or buy them a cup of coffee or a sandwich.
We give blankets to the orphanage.
We donate to toys for tots and canned goods to Harvest Hope
Bah humbug!
My uncle is in a nursing home. I bake cookies and bring them to the residents. They love it !!

We do Toys for Tots, our local Angel Tree and other special requests, as asked…they vary but we generally receive mailings and make sure we know they are either familiar or authentic.
Toys for tots and habitat for humanity!
