Christmas and New Year's holidays are the time when we spend the best moments with our loved ones and give gifts to each other. However, we must not forget those who are not so lucky and cannot afford things that we may take for granted. That's why it's a great idea to think about buying gifts with a charitable note during the holiday rush: that is, gifts where the money we buy them with goes to charity. We have prepared 6 ideas for such gifts.

The Santa Claus Charity Run and Walk 2018 is probably the most heartwarming event in December, as it also has a charitable purpose in view of promoting healthy living and socializing.
