Looking for a gift that benefits the poor and disadvantaged or religious communities as much as the person who receives your gift?  Make a donation to an organization that helps the poor ... consider a "fair-trade" gift which helps indigenous workers earn a fair living, protects the environment and preserves natural resources ... or choose a gift created by Catholic sisters, brothers, nuns and monks to support their religious communities.
