Great GiftList Ideas on Twitter

Posted by Allison Fine on December 5, 2008

It so amazing and heartening to see the stream of great ideas coming in via Twitter for the GiveList.  Marnie and I noticed that some are idea without a website home, so we wanted to make sure to capture them on our bogs as well.  Here are just a few:

  • Donate your frequent flier miles to families of soldiers so they can visit them during the holidays (thanks
  • Adopt a senior to shovel their walk this winter (Of course, you should make sure they want to be adopted!) (thanks Chuck Theis!)
  • Send a note to someone who works for a nonprofit and thank them for what they do (thanks, Jane Hexter)
  • Record a video about a cause that’s meaningful to you and post it on YouTube (thanks, Roger Carr!)

Thanks to everyone sharing and circulating their ideas!

    Love the idea of GiveList. I work in the library world and we always need volunteers. How about volunteering to help in a Literacy program? Or volunteer a volunteer!! HaHa! We also have a link to Librarian’s Gift Picks and when you purchase a book, 5% of the cost goes to Libraries for Literacy programs across North Texas, check it out!
