Giving back is always top of mind during the holidays season, and one easy, economical way to do that is to purchase gifts that give for those on your holiday gift list.
For us, it’s a great opportunity to give to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Fourteen years ago St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital launched their first #GiveThanks holiday campaign and today, their Thanks and Giving program continues to thrive. With more than 70 brands encouraging customers to give as they shop, the campaign helps St. Jude reach their mission of helping children fight cancer.
As in previous seasons, Thanks and Giving retail partners are making it easy for shoppers to give as they shop with special promotions and checkout donations.
Kmart’s #UglySweaterForBetter campaign will encourage people to rock an ugly sweater and post it to trigger a donation from the retailer. Joann’s is asking crafty peeps to “Make to Give” and create unique ornaments in store to benefit St. Jude. And, Dominos, Best Buy, and several other retailers are making it super simple for consumers to donate to St. Jude at check out.
It’s just too easy to give to not to!
And it’s not just St. Jude who can benefit from the shop to give model.
There are tons of awesome gifts that give out there so add a few of these to your list this holiday season.
