Arianna Huffington: Attention Last-Minute Shoppers: HuffPost Has a Store With Gifts That Give Back to Those in Need
The HuffPost Impact team is rolling out a holiday gift store today where goods and services for those in need can be purchased in the name of your friends and family members. There are gifts for every price range. And since the people in whose name you give the gift will immediately be notified via eCard, these "pay it forward presents" are perfect last-minute gifts. On each of the days leading up to Christmas, HuffPost Impact is also featuring the story of a person or family in need. By presenting their stories, we hope to be able to make a difference in these people's lives, and shed light on the vitally important work being done by nonprofit groups all across America. Click here to check out the store, here for our "12 Days, 12 Cities, 12 Families" series, and here for an early present (a free e-book from Seth Godin).
