Looking for the perfect gift this Valentine's Day?
1. Forget a rose garden. Send a veggie garden instead!
For less than the cost of a bouquet of roses, you can send seeds and training to a family in need so they can grow their own garden for food and income. Consider purchasing* a single stem of his/her favorite flower and present it with a note sharing how you have helped feed a family in his/her honor. No green thumb required!
2. Feel all the feels with a warm, snuggly blanket.
As you stay warm in your home, remember those around the world who will be cold and shivering this winter. Just $10 will send a blanket to someone in need. You could send two around the world and purchase* a wrap or throw for your loved one so they can remember how your love is warming the hearts and hands of people in need.
3. Double date! Send a pair of pigs to a family in need.
Who says Valentine’s Day is just made for two? Be a power couple by sending a pair of pigs to a family in need. Pigs are some of the best generators of income and food. It just takes two to turn the lives of an entire family around.
4. Give a cuddly animal to love—no house training required.
A puppy, kitty, or bunny seems like a sweet, romantic gift at the time. Then comes the maintenance! This year, make your sweeping gesture hassle-free by donating bunnies or chicks to a family in need in honor of your loved one!
5. If the fastest way to the heart is the stomach, get ready for warp speed!
Everyone loves a home-cooked meal. This year, skip the crowds and overpriced specials on Valentine’s and make a special dinner at home while helping others do the same. With the money you save by opting out of a restaurant, you can send kitchen utensils to refugee families who have little, if anything, to cook with or in. Talk about a meal to remember!
