Doesn’t it feel good to be able to help others who are less fortunate then ourselves at the holidays? Giving is a great thing to do all year around of course, but the needs seem to feel even greater at the holidays.

I’ve found two awesome websites that you can use this year to help you finish up your shopping and be charitable all at the same time-it’s a win/win!

TisBest TisBest Charity Gift Card is purchased from this website. It works like any other gift card, and the recipient of a Charity Gift Card spends it to support a charity of their choice.

There are tons of charities to choose from on the site and you can even write off your gift as a tax deduction! Here are just a few of the categories you have to choose from:

1) Animals

2) Children

3) Disabilities

4) Environmental

5) Health
NRDC Green Gifts Choose from NRDC’s extraordinary collection of more than 40 Green Gifts that are sure to bring joy on any occasion: birthday, anniversary, holiday or graduation. No matter what their interests or passions: from protecting wolves to saving whales, from planting a rainforest to promoting renewable energy…and no matter what your budget…you will find the perfect gift.

NRDC will send your friend or loved one a customized card (printed on 100% post-consumer recycled paper) featuring the image of the Green Gift you’ve chosen. You can personalize the card online and have it sent directly to your recipient on the date you choose (or, if you want to add your own personal touch, NRDC will ship the card directly to you.) You can also select a beautiful e-card to be sent on the date you choose. Your gift will support all of NRDC’s far-reaching work to protect the environment.

What a great way to not overload people with gifts that equal more stuff that equal clutter! And, you can do your shopping right from y0ur computer-no mall! Did I mention I don’t like malls?
