Gifts That Give Back 4.0

'Twas Cyber Monday morning

And all through the house,

The only sound one heard was

The click of a mouse.

You stayed home on Thanksgiving

And slept through Black Friday craze.

The thought of fighting the crowds,

leaves you in a holi-daze.

Start with something really sweet

For the candy connoisseur 

These little chocolates provide 

relief for those in Darfur. 

A bag that's truly inspi(RED) ,

Each purchase helps those in need.

Meals and a month of treatment, 

Through the Global Fund and Feed.

Say "Cheers" to helping others,

in a most sparkling display.

Choose your cause and pop the cork,

Sauvignon or chardonnay.

For that bibliophile

Spending more on books than rent?

Score a tee, donate a book 

When you shop at Out of Print.

Don't forget to check out Better World Books
when buying your Christmas read.
Where each book you buy equals
a free book for one in need. 

Reading texts is more their speed?
Protect their device with flair,
Any St. Jude case purchased
helps kids get the very best care.

It's always a good time to give,
Even if it's fashionably late.
Buy a watch by Flex or Kors,
And they'll put food on a plate.

Some of the best gifts are free.
Your time is a gift indeed.
Volunteer or donate blood
Give wherever there's a need.

So Happy Cyber Monday
And may your Christmas be bright
When you give gifts that give back
you're doing Peace on Earth right.

Gifts that Give Back 2012

'Twas the night of Thanksgiving,
and all through the town
people were camped out,
for prices marked down. 

"Bah, humbug" you say
to a Friday that's black,
I will shop instead 
for gifts that give back. 

For the Apple fan, a new case
from (Product) RED you can give.
Help Africa fight diseases,
so they can grow strong and live. 

For the cool rock star in your life,
SMS Audio takes the lead.
To help Feeding America
give nutritious meals to those in need.

Young reader who's hooked on her Kindle?
Give her Jessica Park's Flat-Out Love.
With Amazon, you can donate one too.
Through Worldreader, it's easy to do.*

Your bookworm prefers to turn the page?
Better World Books is all the rage.
Each book you buy, they donate one too. 
E-books now included, that's something new!

And speaking of books,
How about a do-gooder's guide?
Try Wendy Smith's Give a Little  
or Pay it Forward by Hyde. 

For guys and gals with laid back style,
Check out the tees by Sevenly.
Each week, brand new shirts help a new cause.
The fit and fabric are heavenly. 

Avoid malls and mayhem.
There's simply no reason.
Give gifts that give back
this holiday season.
