2015 World Vision Gift Catalog {Plus Giveaway} #GiftCatalog #sponsored

I received an item from the 2015 World Vision Gift Catalog for review purposes.  All opinions are my own.

Christmas is coming up before you know it!  If you're one of those last minute holiday shoppers and are looking for a unique gift, check out the 2015 World Vision Gift Catalog.

Amid the hustle and bustle of family gatherings, shopping for gifts, and making holiday memories, it's also so important to remember the true spirit of the season:  giving in whatever way we can and showing love to others.

You can choose a gift that not only puts a smile on someone's face, but truly makes a difference in someone's life.

We have pooled our resources as a family in the past to buy a gift from the catalog.  It's a great way to teach our kids that Christmas isn't just about receiving, but also about giving to those who are less fortunate than they are.
 

World Vision also provides donors the opportunity to give a gift in a loved one’s name (for the person who says they don't need anything).  Plus, it has the added bonus of saving you some time since you don't have to wrap it!

Here are a just a few of the great options in the catalog:

Goats – World Vision offers donors a variety of livestock to choose from, and goats are their most popular option. One goat is a valuable source of milk and fertilizer for a family. The milk provides children with easy-to-digest protein and calcium, and the fertilizer helps crops flourish. A gift of two goats sets a family on a path towards success as shepherds who can start their own flock. $75 for one, $150 for two

Fruit Trees – Even with all the sweets and treats the holiday season brings, it’s important to remember nature’s candy—and not just for the figgy pudding! Donating five, ten, or fifteen fruit trees can help a family feed itself and start a business. The seed of this gift can blossom for years as a few trees turns into groves and orchards full of good, healthy fruit. Partridges not included. $30 for five trees, $60 for ten, $90 for fifteen

Soccer Balls – Every parent knows one of the best feelings in the world is seeing a child’s face light up like the Christmas tree as they discover what’s been left for them by Santa. Donors can pass that same joy along to kids across the world with their gift of soccer balls, which replace makeshift balls made of banana leaves or rolled-up trash. The global popularity of soccer makes this gift a great way to reach out with a helping hand. $16 for two balls, $32 for four, $48 for six

Career Training for Girls & Women – Empower a woman with this investment in skills training, business education, and, most importantly, hope. With opportunities in weaving, jewelry-making, baking, dairy farming, and more, this gift helps create the chance for mothers and daughters to take their future into their own hands. It’s like they always say: Give a woman a fish, and you feed her for a day. Teach a woman to fish, and you can change the world. $25-$125

In addition to the gifts above, World Vision operates the Where Most Needed fund, which provides for improvements in the quality of life for struggling children and families in the U.S. and around the world. Donors to this fund are eligible to receive beautiful artisanal goods from Africa, India, and Southeast Asia, which make wonderful presents and stocking stuffers.

I received this beautiful hand-crafted Balinese multri-strand necklace.  It is 46" in length and each is unique.  I love the colors in this necklace; they just pop!

It comes in a pretty little jewelry gift bag too! 

Since 1996, the World Vision Gift Catalog has grown in popularity as a gift-giving alternative. Last year alone, more than 822,000 people were helped through funds generated by the Catalog.  Isn't that wonderful?

There are so many ways that you can make a difference this holiday season.   Consider impacting a life by choosing a gift from the 2015 World Vision Gift Catalog.
