Socially Responsible Holiday Gifts

As socially responsible giving grows in popularity, many people find themselves wondering which products actually impact society or where they can find them. Lack of knowledge is often the reason people do not increase their socially responsible shopping.

The 2015 World Vision Gift Catalog contains more than 250 poverty-fighting gifts, ranging in price from $16 to $39,000, that improve the quality of life for struggling children and families in the U.S. and around the world. This holiday season, you can give help where it is most needed and receive beautiful handcrafted jewelry for yourself or for your loved ones.

Royal Silk Scarf - World Vision Catalog

One of the beautiful gifts currently available is the Royal Silk Scarf. This gorgeous silk scarf adds color to the holidays and supports the needs of children and families worldwide. The luxurious silk is woven by Vietnam’s Ma Chau villagers, who receive sustainable income through their craft.

Royal Silk Scarf - World Vision

This beautiful silk scarf is done in striking jewel-tone colors of deep purple, royal blue, turquoise, grass green, lime green and magenta. Due to all of the color-tones which make up this scarf…you could wear it with anything in your wardrobe.

Royal Silk Scarf - World Vision

One of the things I absolutely LOVE about the scarf is that it’s sheer and light-weight. I can wear it year-round and I love it’s longer length which allows me to wrap it many different ways. The fringe on each end really enhances it’s overall style and appeal. It’s a real beauty!

Along with the Royal Silk Scarf…World Vision offers many other beautiful gifts such as:

* Silver Vines Cuff Bracelet from India
* Drops of Turquoise Necklace from Asia
* Hand-Carved Serving Spoons from Africa
* Capiz Shell Coasters from Asia
* Plus more!

You can also donate money in your name or in a gift-recipient’s name to help people in need from all around the world. For example:

* Donate $100 and you can select #1317 which buys a goat and 2 chickens.

* Donate $370 and you can select #0719 which buys a sewing machine that is given to a woman to help lift her out of poverty.

* Donate $100 and you can select #0711 which buys a bicycle for a person who desperately needs the transportation.

All of the “donated” gifts that you can buy & select are meaningful and help to improve the life or lives of people in need all around the world.
