Well it's getting pretty close to Christmas and if you still have some shopping to do why not consider the following option as a way to purchase gifts for people.
A lot of charities and not-for-profit organisations produce a range of merchandise to promote their cause and to also raise money for the good work that they do. The fact that a large portion of their projects and day to day jobs are carried out by unpaid workers is also another reason why selling merchandise is important to these organisations.
So why not check out the merchandise available on your favourite charities webpage and see if you can't purchase an item as a Christmas gift for a friend or relative.
Here are some items from a few of my favourite Australian not-for-profit organisations that would make pretty decent Christmas presents;
What are your favourite charities? I chose the RSPCA because I love animals and we picked up our dog Scout (staffy x cattle dog) from there. And I chose Youngcare because although I don't need 24/hr care I can empathise with what it is like to be a young person and all of a sudden not be able to do the things that a young person normally does (like dancing and running! argh my back hurts just thinking about that).
Let me know if you find any other cool charity merch products that would make excellent Christmas pressies. Or pressies for any occassion really. Keep charities in mind next time you're looking for a present for a friends b'day, baby shower or any other special event that comes up. Then you can feel extra special because you're giving a gift to a friend and giving your support to someone/something that is less advantaged than you are :)
