Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide – Charity

Welcome to the Babblebaby Holiday Gift Guide. We’ve put together 100 of the best products we’ve seen over this year, including these charity gifts. Instead of an item that will last a few years, consider a gift that will keep on giving, like the gift of sight.

The gift of sight, Fred Hollows Foundation

For as little as $25 you can give the gift that keeps giving, to those who are needlessly blind. The gift of sight card provides sight restoring operations in some developing countries.

One operation is $25, and you can purchase a gift card at the Fred Hollows Foundation website for $AU25.00 (and upwards for multiple eye operations).

Kiva Gift Certificate

Do you Kiva? Microfinancing in developing nations has been made easier thanks to the innovative Kiva website. Loan as little as $25 to an entrprenuer in a developing nation to help them get on their feet. Once they start turning a profit, you’ll receive your loan back and can re-invest it in another entrepreneur.

Buy a gift voucher for a $25 loan from Kiva for $US25.

Smith Family school excursion gift donation

The Smith Family is an independent non-profit organisation which help disadvantaged Australian children and their families. Many children miss out on attending school excursions simply because their family cannot afford the extra costs involved. This gift will allow a student to join the rest of the class on their next major school excursion.

Available at The Smith Family for $AU25.

Goat from Oxfam Unwrapped

That’s right — goat gifting is still a great way to save everyone’s day. They can then be sold to raise funds for school fees or tools. Best of all, the first female kid is given to another family and the process starts all over again. It’s a sensible gift for the big kid in all of us.

Get your goat at Oxfam Unwrapped for $AU39.00.

Lifesaving mosquito nets from Unicef

Give a gift of mosquito nets which in turn will give four families life saving protection against malaria, the biggest child killer in African countries. The nets are long-lasting and are coated with repellant against mosquitoes and other biting insects.

Get the gift at Unicef from $AU40.00.
