Here are two ideas for Christmas presents that have purpose, give back, and help those who are poor and suffering in our world. Either of these options will allow you to give two gifts–one to a friend and one to a child in need. We need more shopping opportunities like this, and I encourage you to check out both of these sites and consider a purchase today.

1. Handmade Bookmarks (proceeds donated to fight sex trafficking)
Elizabeth Engelhardt is not only a tireless advocate for women trapped in sex slavery, she is a creative genius. She’s created a line of bookmarks that you can purchase as stocking stuffers.

Elizabeth will personalize those bookmarks with your name, or you can order one with an inspirational Bible verse. These are 100% handmade, and Elizabeth is donating proceeds to fight sex trafficking with Children’s HopeChest. There’s Elizabeth, hard at work.

As a bonus, every bookmark you purchase enters you to win a hand-crafted advent calendar and signed copies of Fields of the Fatherless, Red Letters, Scared, and Priceless.
