I haven’t done gift guides in several years but this year I came across two unique ideas that I think would make great gifts for the holidays. \u00a0One is global while the other one is local.<\/p>\n

World Vision<\/a> is a program that focuses on helping and providing countries and families in need items that would be most beneficial to them. \u00a0With donations they work towards providing things like clean water, goats and chickens to families, providing education, and food for kids. \u00a0There are many categories that someone can choose from and donate to the cause they feel most passionate about. \u00a0There are suggestions for donation amounts with examples of what that would provide to someone. \u00a0For example, $100 could provide a goat and two chickens to a family which in turn provides a steady supply of food and milk to that family.<\/p>\n

\"Hand<\/a><\/p>\n

They also feature\u00a0some handmade gifts that are all fair trade and made by those that World Vision is supporting. \u00a0Each gift requires a donation but the shipping is free and\u00a0this donation benefits those that need it most. \u00a0This would be the perfect option if you’d still like to give someone a gift they can use all while donating to a good cause.<\/p>\n

I was sent this hand carved cinnamon box as an example of the kinds of gifts available. \u00a0It is a box made from cinnamon bark with the Asian symbol for prosperity on it. \u00a0It also contains 3oz of Vietnam Cinnamon from the Cassia Tree. \u00a0Which is a renewable resource providing jobs for families. \u00a0There are other handmade gifts available which I encourage you to check out<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This would made a great gift for someone you care about. \u00a0It’s unique and is a gift that provides so much to those in need.<\/p>\n

\"Coffee<\/a><\/p>\n

My next recommendation is closer to home and something local that is perfect for the coffee lover in your life.<\/p>\n

The Coffee Registry <\/a>roasts their own coffee beans and delivers them fresh right to your door! \u00a0We’ve been using this service for several months and love it. \u00a0Depending on where you live in Fort Collins, you’ll either get coffee delivered twice a month (1st and 3rd Wednesdays) or once a month. \u00a0Each delivery\u00a0is different\u00a0providing a chance to explore different beans, roasts, and country of origin. \u00a0Plus we get to support a local business so it’s a win for everyone.<\/p>\n

David, owner of The Coffee Registry, also makes custom pour over stands. \u00a0There are several to pick from, this one called Curator, just happens to be my favorite. \u00a0It has an awesome steampunk quality to it!<\/p>\n

Each stand is made using American walnut base with brass uprights and a glass Hario V60 pour over brewer.<\/p>\n

David is providing Food Embrace readers with a bonus pack of 100 filters if you order a custom stand. \u00a0Just mention Food Embrace in the comments when you order one!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Support a local business and provide a unique gift to someone by either signing them up for some coffee delivery or ordering them a custom stand!<\/p>\n

With many bloggers providing gifts guides to you this season, I wanted to bring you something a little more unique. \u00a0These gifts will definitely bring joy to those on your holiday list!<\/p>\n
