Gifts that Give Back from World Vision- Review + Silver Cuff Bracelet #Giveaway

This time of year, our family is shown so may wonderful opportunities for us to give to others. When Christmas rolls around, we are attacked with ads, commercials, taunted by sales and doorbusters, and we're thinking about how much we can get- so we can give stuff to others. Most people in my family already have enough 'stuff.' We live in a society that tells us it's acceptable to want more, and to want it all- right then and there. I definitely don't want my son growing up with Instant Gratification Syndrome (not a real thing, but feels like it ought to be). I want my son to have the heart of a giver, so it's important to me that he understands that there are many boys and girls in the world who don't have food, clean water, shelter, and many that don't have families to look after them.

This Christmas, World Vision is giving us the opportunity to give in more ways than one could ever imagine. World Vision is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families, and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice.World Vision work in nearly 100 countries, serving all people, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or gender. World Vision believe in a full solution to poverty and injustice. We provide emergency assistance to children and families affected by disasters and conflict, partner with communities for long-term solutions to alleviate poverty, and advocate for justice on behalf of the poor.
