How You Can Give Back: UNICEF Survival Gifts

survival-gifts-unicefThe holiday season certainly makes us take stock of our blessings and celebrate those we hold dear both near and far.  This year, while you’re busy preparing the household for guests, buying groceries and making delicious meals and wrapping gifts to put under the tree – consider adding one more gift to your list.

I have.

UNICEF Survival Gifts are a very easy way for you to take a moment and give to those in need this holiday season.  By visiting UNICEF Canada Survival Gifts  you can look through over 60 life-saving items available for purchase to help children around the world.  And it doesn’t take much money either.  They even have a section with Gifts Under $20 so that families can give even if their own budget is tight.  I also love this section for kids – they can use their own birthday or allowance money to give a gift to another child.

I purchased 6 blankets for babies for just $22, and it only took me a few minutes. You simply choose the gift and add it to your card, register for an account, and check out using your credit card online.  Minutes later you receive an official tax receipt in your email.
