Do you have one of those people on your holiday shopping list who already has everything or who says you shouldn’t buy them anything? For those friends and family members that are difficult to shop for, consider purchasing an alternative gift that either benefits a charity or supports an organization that’s trying to make a difference. We’ve put together a list of 10 gifts – everything from food to fashion, and even intangible items – to help you pick out the perfect gifts that give back.
Out of Print E-Book Jacket
If you need to buy a gift for that literary-minded person on your list, look no further. Out of Print sells clothing and accessories decorated with the images of famous book covers, some of which are in fact out of print. You can get anything from a t-shirt depicting the cover of The Great Gatsby to e-book jackets decorated with the Wizard of Oz (that are also made from recycled materials!). The book jackets are made to look and feel like an actual book.
The company doesn’t just help spread a love of reading through fashion. They donate one book to a community in need for every e-book jacket or shirt sold through their partner Books for Africa. Out of Print seeks to help “end the book famine in Africa” while also celebrating great stories.
Price for “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” E-Book Jacket: $45.00
