The festive season is around the corner and now is the time when we forget our worries and spend time with our families. This is also the season of gifts and merriment, enjoyment, and happiness. While we all gear up for the holidays, here are some ideas of meaningful things that you can do this Christmas that will not only bring joy to your lives but also spread happiness to many more:
- Sustainable gifting – This Christmas, let’s make a conscious effort to gift something that will not end up in the garbage dump. The Earth is the only planet we have got and sustainable gifting is the way forward. From recyclable wine bottles being used as platters to tote bags and stainless steel straws – the choices are enormous and varied. By choosing a sustainable gift, you will not only be kind towards the planet but also to those artisans, craftsmen, and local vendors who are working very hard to earn an income ethically and sustainably.
- Volunteering your time for NGOs – Have you always wanted to volunteer your time and never got the opportunity because of busy schedules? Well, instead of feeling guilty about it, now is the time when you can actually volunteer at an old age home, an orphanage, or even an animal shelter. While it will take only a small amount of time and hardly any expense from your end, it will make so many others happy and content.
- Care for the hungry and the homeless – Winters are the worst time for those who don’t have a roof over their heads. Every winter, we hear about deaths due to the chilly winds and this can be the first time when you would donate cooked meals, dry ration, or even warm blankets to those in need. If you are not sure about how and where to donate, we have a solution for that too. Just click here and make a difference today from the comfort of your home.
- The DK-SIP – What if we told you that this Christmas you can invest in someone else’s future? Confused? Let us explain. We are talking about impact investments. Impact investments are investments made with the intention to generate positive, measurable social and environmental impact. Donatekart’s Social Investment Plan is transparent, and trustworthy and helps you create a long-term impact toward causes close to your heart.
