"  In the hustle and bustle of holiday gift buying, the true meaning of giving can sometimes get lost. If you&amp;#039;d rather give your friends and family a present that really embodies the spirit of generosity, consider buying them a charitable gift. Thanks to the three sites below, you won&amp;#039;t have to do a ton of research to find the perfect do-good gift for everyone on your list. They make it simple to give twice: once to your gift recipient and again to a worthy cause.   BiddingForGood.com Not only will you find totally unique gifts at this online charity auction site, but you&amp;#039;ll also find ones that donate to a deserving cause. At BiddingForGood, charities post products online, letting buyers choose from a wide variety of presents that aren&amp;#039;t likely to be found at the local mall\u2014like luxury vacation packages, VIP tickets to concerts and autographed sports jerseys\u2014in every price range. Once you find a gift and a corresponding charity you like, add it to your cart so you can receive bid alerts via email. If you&amp;#039;d rather skip the lengthy bidding process, choose a gift from the site&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Closing Soon&amp;quot; section, which allows you to select an item whose auction ends in 48 hours. Once the auction does close, you&amp;#039;ll receive your gift in about a week, while the site donates 91 percent of all profits to the charity.   WorldofGood.eBay.com  No matter what cause you care about, eBay&amp;#039;s World of Good section makes it easy to give a creative and meaningful holiday gift in its honor. You can easily search their online marketplace by philanthropic endeavor, browsing everything from animal-friendly and eco-positive charities to those that support people or small businesses around the world. You can also shop their site according to the type of gift you want to give. For example, this pendant-style copper and silver necklace, which creates employment for women and assists people living with HIV/AIDS, would make a meaningful gift for your mom or best friend.   TisBest.org It&amp;#039;s great to make a donation in someone&amp;#039;s name to a charity, but what if you&amp;#039;re not sure what causes the recipient cares about? Let him or her decide where to make a donation with a charity gift card from TisBest. Choose a card design from one of their 54 images, or choose to upload your own photo or artwork. Select how much money you&amp;#039;d like to put on it (from $10 to $5,000), then have it mailed to the recipient or to yourself to give to him or her personally. The recipient can then choose to donate the amount to any of TisBest&amp;#039;s 250 charities\u2014such as the Humane Society, Meals on Wheels and the National Breast Cancer Foundation\u2014whenever he or she wants, since the cards never expire. The full amount, minus a $1.95 transaction fee and the 3 percent received by the credit card processor will go to your charity of choice. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
