Give the Gift the Gives Back | World Vision

World Vision Ornament Set

With six weekend left until Christmas, you’ve likely started giving plenty of thought to gift giving. In no time at all, the giving season will soon be busy, and when things get hectic, many of us forget the true meaning of the winter holidays.

There are plenty of easy ways to keep your heart in the holidays – from donating a little of your time to a local charity to unique, life-changing gifts that give back all year long.  Organizations like World Vision offer handcrafted gifts that your loved ones will enjoy, while your contribution helps fight poverty around the globe.

World Vision Ornament Set

The World Vision Gift Catalog offers over 250 items that help save lives here in the US and around the word.  With a financial contribution, donors can select one of the 30+ Handcrafted Gifts.  It’s two great gifts in one and a lovely way to keep the spirit of the holiday season in perspective.

Featured is the the Ornament Set which includes three handmade Zakale wire and bead animal trio ornaments from Nairobi.  The detail and craftsmanship on this trio is amazing.  Certainly a lot of patience goes into fashioning each gorgeous beaded animal piece.  As an avid crafter, I truly appreciate the fine details and solid construction.  These are ornaments the recipient will treasure for a lifetime.

Other gifts in the World Vision Catalog also include:

  • Colors of Africa Bracelet & Earring Set, a gorgeous Zakale jewelry set is handmade from recycled materials by Kenyan artisans reclaiming their own lives from poverty.
  • Cinnamon Box created from the dried inner bark of Cassia (Cinnamon) trees by skilled artisans in Vietnam; these boxes help families receive social and health insurance as well as the opportunity to apply for scholarship funds.
  • Hand-woven Headband woven by skilled workers in Lake Atitlan in Guatemala helps address urgent needs of children, families or communities that might otherwise go unmet.
  • Gertie the Plush Goat, exclusively through World Vision and represents farm animals that are donated to children and families around the world and provide a steady supply of nutritious food and the surplus can be sold for extra income.
  • And many more thoughtful and beautiful gifts.  There’s a little something for everyone on your gift list!
