It’s that time of year and black Friday is approaching and I wanted to share some great items you can give (or receive) this holiday.

1.  Shave MOB is a great company where you can get razors and accessories for up to 70% off!  Razors aren’t cheap and at these prices you can get everyone in your family a set.  Shave MOB sets make great stocking stuffers.

2.  One of my favorite things to do is give to local charities.  It reminds me what Christmas is truly about and that Christ gave His life so that we might live!  We can give to others who are in so much need this season too.  The Giving for Good Card is a great program offered by The Dallas Foundation. The program was designed to introduce charitable giving in a way that is unique, meaningful and fun.

Giving for Good cards work like retail gift cards, only the value is redeemed as a donation to the recipient’s favorite charity: any 501(c)(3) public charity in the United States, including schools, churches and synagogues. Order Giving for Good cards to celebrate holidays and special occasions, to thank clients or to recognized employees. No more searching for the perfect gift, and you get the tax deduction!

Recipients of a Giving for Good card may redeem the card on our website by clicking on the Redeem button below. Or, they may give the cards directly to any nonprofit (by mail or in person) or dropped in a church collection basket.

3.  My good friend Sarah makes some of the cutest shirts for friends and family.  If you are looking for something cute and original, visit Wake Me Up Designs.

 4.   If you do not have the money to give to a charity, consider donating some old items that you have around the house. An increasing number of people are now doing Texas boat donations, because of the state’s generous tax credits.

The process is simple, as you contact the charity and tell them that you want to make a boat donation, they will then sell your boat at auction and give the proceeds to an organization that benefits children. As an added bonus, you receive a tax deduction in the amount for which the boat sold.
