Holiday Gifts Support HIV

Posted by Jamie Robertson Nov 17, 2008

Though it is not quite Thanksgiving, I have already started thinking about holiday gifts. The one person I can never shop for is my grandfather. If he wants something, he simply goes out and buys it for himself. In fact, he has been known to become angry at my family for buying him anything that he deems too expensive or useless.

Over the past few years, I have taken to buying him gifts that go under someone else's tree. Organizations like Changing the Present offer the opportunity to buy a gift that benefits many people around the world, instead of buying something for someone who doesn't need anything. Changing the Present allows you to choose gifts by category, and includes many gifts that help fight HIV/AIDS. So this year, instead of buying Grandpa yet another tie he will only wear once, I am buying something for someone who actually needs something.
