World Vision - #GiftCatalog Review and Giveaway

I received product for review.  The opinions within this post are of my own and I was not influenced in any way.  Please do your own research before purchasing products or using services.  Your opinions and results may differ.

I don't have everything I want, but I have everything I need.  I have a roof over my head, plenty of food, and have extra money to spare sometimes.  Not everyone has it so lucky.  

From early on, I've taught my kids the value of a dollar and how to be charitable.  I believe it's important to help others who aren't so fortunate.  There are people in this world who don't have even the basic necessities and I believe that it's only fair that everyone who can should help others in need.  One such company that considers those in need is World Vision.

World Vision is a Christian relief and development organization dedicated to helping children and their communities worldwide reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty. Through their gift catalog, World Vision helps those in need better the lives of children, adults, and communities in the U.S. and around the world in all different areas of need.  They do this by providing means to clean water, food, education, help for sexual exploitation, and job training. In operation since 1996, the 2014 season marks the 19th annual gift catalog.

The gift catalog offers more than 100 meaningful gifts, like live animals, clean water, clothing, medicine, education, and more. Last year thousands of  live animals were distributed to those in need. Goats are usually the most popular gift choice; Imagine gifting a goat to a family, who in turn will use it for milk, cheese, and eggs. It really is a gift that keeps giving! Not all of the gifts offered on World Vision are donation only. You can purchase tangible, hand made, Maximum Impact items to gift to your loved ones this holiday that will still help benefit those in need. More than 250 items, ranging in price from $10 to $39,000, are available online and in the print catalog to help improve quality of life for women, children and families in the U.S. and around the world.

One such tangible gift is the Hand-Carved Serving Spoons. Each beautiful set of two hand-carved olivewood serving spoons is delivered in a gift bag of African fabric hand-sewn by local women. The serving spoons are made to benefit orphans of the Kamba tribe in Kenya. The serving spoons are made to benefit orphans of the Kamba tribe in Kenya, and they can be purchased for $65.  Each set is uniquely carved.  One spoon is slotted and the involved details of each one is stunning.  They make beautiful decor pieces, or can be used to serve food.  They're pretty and functional but, best of all, they help people in need.
