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 2013

‘Twas  the night before Black Friday,

 and all through the house,

Not a creature was stirring,

just the click of my mouse.

Fighting traffic and crowds

to help Santa fill his sack?

Keep calm and surf the web

for these gifts that give back.

For the child who's wise and cute,
Keep their head warm and cozy
with a hat that's a hoot!

For that man you've loved for years,
This awesome gift from Sevenly 
will be music to his ears.

That special lady will really be floored
when she opens her watch
that feeds a hundred from Michael Kors.

Speaking of timepieces, here's one more.
A unisex watch that fights AIDS, 
courtesy of Kenneth Cole, J'adore. 

For the reader who prefers pages to Nooks,
Buy a book and they'll donate one,
Over at Better World Books.

Stocking stuffers? I have the answer,
From lotion that helps feed kids 
to jewelry that fights cancer.

What about me? What did I get?
A cool new tee-shirt
that gives back a net.

To complete the perfect holiday look,
Check out OPI's bright shade for nails
that helps victims of Sandy Hook.

And please don't forget the man in red himself.
Prepare these cookies from St. Jude 
For him and his elf. 

Remember the best gift of all
is when you help others thrive .
So start a Crowdrise fundraiser
or stop in at a blood drive. 

Avoiding the madness, no mall in sight?
Spreading joy with each purchase, 
You're doing Peace on Earth right.
