Gifts can create happiness. The holidays bring out the generosity in many of us; the heap of presents under the Christmas tree demonstrate that this trait is alive and well in America. If the goal of Christmas is to make people happy with gifts, then wouldn’t it be great if you could make more than one person at a time happy with just one gift?
Giving a charity gift card is the perfect way to increase the positive effects of your generosity. Once somebody receives the charity card, they can go online and learn about all the different charities that they can give to. This present will be guaranteed to have a strong emotional impact on the individual who receives it. The individual will learn about situations in the world where things are going badly, like starvation in Somalia, or toxic water poisoning in Chinese villages. Rather than throwing their hands up in the air and sighing powerlessly, these individuals will be able to change the situation for the better. This will make them feel a strength and power that only acts of compassion can provide.
TisBest.org [www.tisbest.org] (as in “Tis better to give than to receive”), is a Seattle-based company that offers tax-deductible charity gift cards online in amounts from $10 to $5,000. Charity gift card recipients then choose to donate the funds on their gift card to one of 250 carefully selected charities organized into categories as diverse as: the environment, health, children, education, arts and culture and women’s issues. TisBest is perfect for people who want to simplify the holidays, reduce wasteful consumption and give a gift that shows the true spirit of giving.
- TisBest offers both “Instant Gift Cards” (online cards sent via email) and “Classic Gift Cards” (100% recycled plastic cards sent via regular mail). Both styles of gift cards allow the gift giver to include a personal message.
- TisBest gift givers can customize the image on their gift card by choosing from 40 stock images on TisBest.org or by uploading their own image.
- The TisBest card is an attractive business gift that can be customized with the gift giver’s brand identity.
