Let’s face it, among the goats and cows and rabbits we purchase this Christmas, we’ll still probably want to buy some gifts for our friends and family. Thankfully, there are ways to buy modest gifts for those we love that show our love and share our wealth.
So, before you head out to grab one of those $10 waffle-makers at Walmart (chances are all the workers will have walked-out anyway!), Check out these fabulous finds. And, no need to stand in a line out the door, circle a dozen times looking for a parking spot, or wake up at midnight tonight. Such a deal! A little careful planning and a little creativity can bring some real LIGHT to Black Friday.
Books:
- Revolution in World Missions by KP Yohannen. (free!)
- No Longer a Slumdog by KP Yohannen. (free!)
- A Life of Balance by KP Yohannen (free download or $3 donation for paperback)
Clothes:
- Hello Somebody athletic gray sweatshirts. These have a fabulous fit, both for men and women. They’re unisex-sized so Jeff wears a Large and I wear an XSmall. ($35) We bought these last year and it’s still my favorite go-to hoodie. All proceeds fund Hello Somebody children in Africa.
Accessories:
- Love41 sells handmade and unique items from around the world. Profits go towards helping orphans, widows and street kids in third world countries by educating, training, feeding, and showing them acts of compassion. (I’ve seen some of their stuff and it’s fabulous!)
- Hello Somebody watches. ($25)
- Tabitha’s-Hope bags and purses. ($15-40) Tabitha’s Hope provides needed jobs and money to people in Rwanda. Each product is sewn by skilled Rwandan tailors, and all the profits from Tabitha’s Hope go to fund projects that help their impoverished communities.
Home Decor:
- Tabitha’s-Hope tablecloths and runners. ($30-40)
Coffee:
- Good African coffee. ($20) My friend brought me back some of this coffee from Uganda. Yum!
What other fun share-the-love gifts have you discovered? I’d love to hear. Happy shopping! Thanks for reading.

Great stuff!
I highly recommend Freeset! They are a company run by and for women rescued from slavery in Kolkata, India, and they make beautiful jute and cotton bags, among other things. Run by a good friend and former pastor of my husband, from New Zealand: http://freesetglobal.com/
