Gifts From Causes offer the perfect presents for avid Facebookers with too much worldly stuff. The program allows you to buy a virtual gift icon, which the recipient can proudly display on their Facebook profile, and make a charitable donation to a cool cause. All proceeds (minus a credit card transaction fee) will go to your chosen non-profit.
A $10 soccer ball icon sends funds to love.futbol, a non-profit that makes soccer fields for children in impoverished communities worldwide, and is the perfect gift for a soccer-mad Facebooker. A $15 super-cute teddy bear icon provides a real life cuddly companion to comfort a sick child at the Children's National Medical Center. $20 buys a flock of chicks to help a family in the developing world via the Heifer Project. A $50 virtual puppy will pay for the Humane Society to rescue a dog, and $200 will buy an OLPC laptop computer to educate a child in the developing world.
