Shopping

In case you missed all the early decorations and holiday music that arrives on November 1, Christmas is approaching.

If the crowds and gas prices are keeping you at home for your shopping consider shopping for a cause. There are several online malls that you can shop from and the stores donate a set percentage to the cause of your choice. You can shop at all the major online stores, you just have to link to the store from the online charity mall of your choice.

Just give has compiled a list of charity malls so you can pick the one that has more of the stores you love or the particular cause you would like to support. I shop for National Coalition for the Homeless, at www.igive.com and if you are looking for a charity I recommend them. With the economy on shaky ground charitable donations are expected to decrease, this is a way to easily donate and not spend any extra money.
