Our Top 5 Meaningful Gifts for 2025

A Holiday Gift Guide That Changes Lives

If you’re searching for a gift that goes beyond wrapping paper and lasts far longer than the holidays, you’re in the right place. This year, meaningful, ethical and purpose-driven gifts are at the top of everyone’s list. Whether you're shopping for a loved one who “has everything,” or looking for a present that reflects your values, these life-changing gifts make a tangible difference for children, families and communities around the world.

We know that poverty is complex, helping isn’t. When you select a Gift for Good, you’re not just giving something thoughtful, you’re helping protect children, open doors to education and support families facing crisis. Your generosity creates real, lasting change where it’s needed most.

Here are our Top 5 2025 Gifts for Good:

5. Baby Chicks - $20

Small but mighty, Baby Chicks offer families a simple and affordable path to better nutrition and income. As they grow, they produce eggs that can feed children or be sold to provide a steady source of income.

For communities where meals are limited, this gift helps strengthen food security, one chick at a time.

Why this gift matters:

Strengthens nutrition for growing children
Helps families build a business
Creates a sustainable source of income

4. Three hens and a rooster - $50

In communities facing food insecurity, even one nutritious meal a day can be out of reach. The Three Hens and a Rooster gift helps nourish families and generate income through fresh eggs and sustainable farming.

Families can eat the eggs, sell them at local markets or even grow their flock, helping build long-term stability and resilience.

Why this gift matters:

Supports family nutrition
Provides a steady source of income
Creates long-term independence

3. Flock of Goats - $250

Want to give a G.O.A.T gift? In areas where families struggle to make ends meet, goats’ quick reproduction offers steady income so children’s education and health don’t suffer.

Why this gift matters:

2. Clean water fund - Choose your amount

Clean water saves lives. In many communities, children still face deadly yet preventable waterborne diseases simply because they don’t have safe water to drink or wash with.

A gift to the Clean Water Fund helps build clean water systems and provides essential training on sanitation and hygiene, giving children a healthier, safer foundation for the future.

Why this gift matters:

Strengthens community health, prevents life threatening illnesses
Restores the time and safety stolen from women and girls
Reduces long daily walks for water, helping children return to school

1. Help where the need is greatest - $100

When crises unfold, children are often the most vulnerable. Many face violence, abuse or exploitation, leaving them without safety or choice. A gift to Help Where the Need Is Greatest allows support to reach children quickly where and when it matters most.

Whether it’s providing emergency protection, safe spaces, counselling or urgent resources, your gift becomes immediate help for children in danger.

Why this gift matters:

Protects children in crisis
Supports urgent needs with flexibility
Ensures help reaches the most vulnerable without delay

This holiday season, you can choose a gift that goes beyond celebrating the moment—it creates lasting impact. Whether you’re helping a child go to school, access clean water or find safety in a crisis, your generosity supports brighter futures.
