Holiday Gift Ideas

Looking for a great holiday gift for the family that has it all? Teach them how to give back.

A Kids Guide to Giving can help teens and kids choose a charity and help them learn how to earn money or make a difference.

"The world is a big place, with lots of wonderful things in it. But it also has many problems. It's human nature to want to fix problems and stop suffering; we always want to make things better. That's one of the greatest things about human beings: we care.

You may wonder how to show you care in a way that makes a difference. "I'm just one person," you might say, or "I'm just a kid. What kind of difference can I really make?" The problems seem so big; you feel so small. Many people who want to help wind up doing nothing, because they don't know where to start."
- Freddi Zeiler

Here are three great gifts that go great together:
  • Freddi Zeiler's A Kids Guide to Giving provides a guide to giving time and money, goods, and fundraising. Her book makes it easy to get involves and make a difference.
  • Bill Clinton's Giving (available online and at local bookstores everywhere) provides an overview of how each of us can change the world.
  • Including a Charity Check allows the recipient to start donating immediately to their favorite cause.
Freddi can help your kids and teens learn how to start changing the world. President Clinton's call to action can inspire and motivate. And you'd be giving the lessons of charity and changing the world, along with an actual actionable way to donate to charity. There is no better gift this holiday season than the gift of charity.
