Alternative Gift Giving Ideas For The Holidays

Posted by Cowboy as Consoles, Gaming

What if instead of spending $500 on a gaming console and a few games you went out and did something really great for the Holidays?

What if you gave $500 worth of toys to an organization for the needy? Wouldnt’ that be a lot greater than the game console? Or instead, buy the game console and donate your old one, and its games to a charity?

One great idea is buying Product Red Gadgets. Another idea is buying animals instead of gifts on Heifer for the world’s needy.

As the holiday season heats up and people are buying all their new gadgets and giving gadgets for their family is their any thought to those that manufacture these items at such low wages?

It would only cost 13 Billion Dollars To Feed and Clothe the world’s neediest. I wonder why we can’t do that. Why their is a national interest not to do that. This holiday season as we sit down in front of our newest gaming console maybe its time to remember the world’s neediest and support Heifer.

It’s a great cause, its a great gift and its a great way for a family to do something interesting and enjoyable. Think of it as giving away your gaming console for the sake of those who made it.
