Here’s a thought – rather than giving your loved-ones yet another gizmo or gadget that they neither want nor need, why not consider supporting a charity in their name? Let them know how special they are to you by helping someone else out and providing them with a gift card.
This is the wording found on the gift cards I purchased this Christmas to send along with my Christmas letters. It reads: “A special thank you to a special person. As a way of saying thanks for all you do, in your honour, a dinner has been purchased and will be served to a Homeless person in our community this holiday season. Thank you for making a difference in my life.”
I know I would be touched to receive such a card. I think your family and friends would be moved as well. There are a lot of charitable organizations that offer these cards in exchange for donations. I would encourage you to seek out these opportunities. You can do two things at once: Support a charity of your choice and give a meaningful gift to those you love.
Let’s help our community this Christmas.
