It’s never been easier to give to charity at Christmastime. Kate Ferreira suggests using sites that pair shopping with giving.
Spread the love this festive season by shopping via online retailers with affiliated charities or donation options built into their online store. How does it work? Many e-tailers offer the option to add a donation to your virtual basket when you buy online. Others dedicate a set portion of certain products’ sale price to a specific cause. Try these e-tailers…
YUPPIECHEF.COM
Easy add-to-cart donation. Yuppiechef has partnered with the makers of Wonderbag (an electricity-free slow cooker) to allow customers to donate a Wonderbag to underprivileged families in Africa. Yuppiechef’s site is a foodie’s dream, listing kitchenware from the innovative (like a flat, silicone sink colander) to the special treat (like stunning Le Creuset cookware). Once you’ve finished your personal shopping, search ‘wonderbag donation’, click ‘addto cart’, then proceed to checkout.
VERDICT
Yuppiechef and Wonderbag handle the gift distribution, and the donation price (you only spend R150) is considerably less than the Yuppiechef retail price (between R399 to R449).
