Gifts to Help Save the World and Others
There are tens of thousands of ways in which you can send a gift to someone for their birthday, anniversary, etc. that can also help others and/or the environment.
An easy way is to go to Network for Good and make a donation in the name of the person. There you can find thousands of reputable nonprofit organizations making a huge difference in the world. Choose one you like or one you believe the person you are giving the gift to likes.
For example: if a person you love cares about the environment, you can make a donation in their name of one of many nonprofit organizations that help the envionrment on Network for Good. Then, find a lovely card and write on it that you made a donation in their name. They will love it.
Or, you can go to one of the nonprofit organization's website. Many of them have online stores. For example you can go on Earth Island Organization's website where you can give a nice totebag or t-shirt along with a donation in their name.
