For those people on your list who really don’t want or need anything, charitable gifts by proxy are a meaningful alternative. My favorite, fund a business, micro-lending is one of the cleverest ways to give, because the money ultimately comes back. At kiva.org, a $25 gift card you purchase for a friend can then help a struggling business owner locally or in a third world county. Like a candy store owner in Ukraine who wants to expand inventory or a vegetable vendor in Azerbaijan. Once the loan has been made, updates will be posted on line when it’s repaid your friend can lend that money to someone else or take the cash and get herself something nice. Micro loans are pooled with others to make a real difference to a business.
And what better way to give the gift of a micro loan than in a beautifully inspired gift box like our new Snowman Candy box or the Silver Wonderland Candy box. Both will make memorable presentations for a very thoughtful gift this holiday season.
