Shift Your Gift

In just 10 days, you’ll get a lot of things you’ve been wanting. You’ll also get a few things you’ll quickly want to return for store credit. And while we always like to gently remind you that Christmas is not your birthday, you can also ensure that your presents do good with new service Shift My Gift.

This web-based tool lets you tell your gift-givers for any occasion (Christmas, birthdays, weddings, graduations) that you’d like to shift their generosity from something that benefits you (or not) to something that benefits charities you care about.

After you create a profile and an event, send the link to your guest list and relatives and instead of tacky sweaters, fruitcakes, or unwanted pillowcases, you can celebrate the fact that your friends helped make a big difference.
