AmazonSmile: You Shop. Amazon Gives.

Since Amazon sold 1 billion items last holiday season, it’s safe to assume that many of you will be doing some of your Christmas shopping with the online retailer. But did you know that you can do some good for charity while buying gifts from Amazon?

With AmazonSmile, you can easily and automatically support your favourite charitable organization whenever you shop—for no additional cost. By visiting smile.amazon.com to make your purchases, you’ll find the same products, prices, and shopping experience, but with the extra benefit that Amazon will donate half a percent of your purchase price to the charity of your choice. When it comes to charitable giving, it really doesn’t get any easier!

Using your existing Amazon account, simply visit AmazonSmile and then select the charity that will receive the donations from your purchases. There are nearly one million organizations participating in the program, including the vast majority of charities that we have featured here on the Elf Blog, such as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. There are also plenty of small and regional organizations to choose from, such as Basset Hound Rescue of Georgia or the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.

In total so far all charities have received more than $62 million (!) just from folks shopping on Amazon, which they would be doing anyways. And if you want to start using AmazonSmile, but you’re worried you won’t remember to start at smile.amazon.com, you can add a bookmark to your browser or you could install the Amazon Assistant.

Etsy Item of the Day: Nordic Christmas Gnomes

Aren’t these gnomes the cutest? I just love how their hats cover their eyes so all you can see are their bulbous noses! This delightful pair of Nordic gnomes are donning red holiday outfits and would be a lovely addition to one’s traditional Christmas decor. If you have a soft spot for gnomes like I do, but red isn’t your color, check out these turquoise gnomes, gold gnomes, or gnomes in muted sweaters.

Send Some Quirky Holiday Greetings

Since I’m in the market for Christmas cards, I’ve been scouring around online for some neat designs. I generally like cards that make me smile, whether they’re funny, cute, or quirky. Naturally, I couldn’t keep all this festive goodness to myself, so I’m sharing my finds with all you lovely folks.

Send Some Quirky Holiday Greetings
  1. This T-Rex card is perfect for anyone who likes dinosaurs or has young boys. I know my nephews would LOVE this card!

  2. For someone who fancies merfolk and the sea, send this sweet Mer-ry Christmas card.

  3. Send magical Christmas greetings with a festive unicorn card.

  4. Instead of sending a card that may end up in a box (or worse, the trash bin), give an ornament card such as this Cool Yule Penguin.

  5. Let your loved ones know you are wishing them “a whale of a Christmas” with this beautifully designed card.

  6. Dog lovers will chuckle at the sight of this card featuring a doxie wrapped in lights!

Send Some Quirky Holiday Greetings
  1. Merry Crustmas, everyone! This adorable card features a little piece of bread fashioned from felt, complete with a Santa hat.

  2. Add digital stickers to your photo when you order this “Staching Through the Snow” card. After uploading your photo, simply click the small pencil icon to open the Effect & Filters panel, then add stickers, overlays, and more.

  3. By putting a family photo on an ornament card, friends and family will want to hang it on their tree this year and years to come. You can customize your cards by choosing the background color and the silhouette shape.

  4. This card made me laugh! Of course, our favorite part of Christmas is spending time with loved ones, but—let’s be honest—we all love to receive presents, too.

  5. This hedgehog card is printed on birch wood, rather than paper. What a unique way to send seasonal greetings!

  6. To your friends who enjoy a good pun, say “Avo very merry Christmas!”

Which card is your favorite? Let us know in the comments below!

Etsy Item of the Day: Christmas at the Burrow Candle

Over the past few months, I have been reading the Harry Potter series again, so my eyes lit up when I came across this Christmas at the Burrow candle. As it’s the most welcoming and coziest home in the wizarding world, spending the holidays at the Burrow would be absolutely lovely. With the fragrance of sugar cookies, cinnamon, and vanilla, this hand poured soy candle surely captures the scents of Christmas with the Weasleys. Available as a 2 oz, 4 oz, or 8 oz candle or as a pack of half-ounce tarts.
