Some of the tangible gifts include goats and chickens. These gifts could mean sustainable life, food and income to a very needy person. Plus you get a card that you can give to your special someone, letting them know the difference being made in their name. That would mean a lot to some people.
This is a great way of teaching your kids about empathy. Maybe the gift they choose for another could be in the form of one of these suggestions. It will teach them about the things other children face in the world, and be more thankful for what they have. It also encourages them to help someone in need.
Maybe you have older kids who love bling?? Something for their stockings like hand-beaded necklaces from Haiti, silk scarves that are hand-woven from Thailand, or Bracelets from Thailand. Each gift unique in its own way and beautifully hand-crafted.
World Vision Gifts also carries gifts like soccer balls, or fruit trees for the budding gardener. These gifts are given to families through World Vision’s community development and relief work; and as a bonus, they’re tax deductible!
There are some great gifts that could help a family / child / community. Just received the World Vision catalogue in the mail today.
