There are so many ways to make a difference while at the same time gift shopping. We have compiled a few ideas here, and we encourage you to share them with friends and family.

Adopt an Animal, Sponsor a Child, or Plant a Tree
This year, give a gift that is both meaningful and personal. Sponsor a child, adopt an animal, or plant a tree.

Purchase Charity Gift Certificates
Purchase a gift certificate and allow your recipients to redeem it to support their favorite charity, choosing from over 1 million local and national organizations.

Give Charity Gift Baskets
Charity Gift Baskets can be customized around a cause-related theme, such as homelessness, human rights or the elderly. Each basket features four charities in that common area of concern. These baskets are ideal for those who care about a particular cause but are not necessarily familiar with relevant charities.

Buy Charity Greeting Cards
Purchase your cards for the holidays and other special occasions from a number of different charities, and help support their work.

Create a Charity Wish List
Not sure what to ask for this year? Create your own Charity Wish List so your friends and family members know what charities to donate to in your name.

Recycle your Christmas Tree
The bad news is that millions of discarded trees take up landfill space. The good news is that there are solutions.

Support your local Animal Shelter
Animal rescuers discourage buying animals as gifts for people, as it increases the number of animals brought to shelters. Instead, support your local shelter with a donation or by fostering a dog or cat.

Buy a Toy for a Child
You can drop off new unwrapped toys at any one of the nearly 370 Toys for Tots Coordinators nationwide.
