I count myself extremely lucky in that I am surrounded with family and friends who are at home in their own skin and are independent thinkers. That is until it comes to gift giving time... It probably wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that I am a perfectionist gift giver. I will spend copious amounts of time and energy (and in the past gasoline) to find the gift that perfectly matches the person. Since gasoline has become so pricey and trundling out with a tot on a search and buy mission has become difficult, I have been trying to find my gifts online.
In my searching I recently came across Crafters for Critters. This website collects items from crafters and sells the donated items to benefit animal causes. Crafters For Critters is not a consignment site. Independent
designers/crafters/artists donate handmade goods that are offered for sale here.
When the item sells, the selected animal rescue organization gets 100% of the proceeds.
There is a wide variety of items available on the site-- so there is something for everyone. Some of my favorites include: Vegan Chocolate Truffles, Personalized Dog Tags, flower notepads, and these paper pad cozies.
What a great idea and website. I wish they had more practical items though. Like hats and gloves or something.
