Pretty much all of us have found ourselves scrambling last minute to buy a gift. In fact, a recent Ipsos poll found that three out of 10 gifts purchased by Canadians are done within a day of giving the gift. We’ve all been there!
Plus, after buying last minute, a lot of us worry that the recipient will be disappointed with what we got them. The same poll found that 64% of those asked agreed that they would prefer to receive a charitable gift that would help someone else.
Instead of stressing about shopping and braving the mall with hours to spare, you can give a memorable gift that will also give someone hope this holiday. Until December 31, give a gift that will make a real difference for someone with a Red Cross Gift of Survival. You can customize your gift as well, choosing from things like warm blankets, a life-saving health parcel for mother and child, hot meals, an infant care package, groceries, and food and water that can bring relief following a disaster. Find more great gifts of survival at redcross.ca/yourgift.
If we learned one thing this year, it is that Canadians are an incredibly generous bunch of people! The work of the Red Cross would not be possible without this generosity, whether we’re responding to a house fire in Ontario or a hurricane in Haiti. Also, this year your present can go even further with BMO Bank of Montreal matching gifts.
Not quite what you had in mind for a gift but still need an idea quick? Check out these 10 useful and practical gift ideas.
