I think we all know someone who is either has everything or would prefer a gift that gives back. No matter if they are trying to be more socially conscious or help out a cause that you love or the gift receiver does. Here’s a list of gifts that keep giving. There are so many choices out there I’ve narrowed it down to a few.
Basic gifts
I think we’ve all heard of someone donating a to a cause in a person name or giving them that gift option. That’s a good choice if it fits your giving plans.
Fighting Hunger Causes
As mentioned above there are many causes to donate to so i figured I’d start off with some major ones.

These donations range in price from as little as $10 to upwards of over $1,000. They also have larger donation options available.
