Last year, my plans to find the perfect Mother's Day gift floundered in procrastination. More flowers? Some chachkie that would sit on some shelf in some bathroom? Wasn't very inspiring. At about that time, Advanta was starting to explore its relationship with Kiva.org and I had one of those brilliant flashes that I wish happened much more regularly.
A Kiva gift certficate! What a great idea!!!
My mother was planning a trip to Africa and what better gift than the opportunity to browse through a long list of African borrowers and choose one. I called my brother and sister, clearly genetically pre-disposed to procrastination as well, and the three of us contributed to buy a Kiva Gift Certificate. She loved it, of course, and the gift has become the ultimate fall back for the last minute shopper (me). My father is now a Kiva lender and anyone lined up for gifts from me in the future will be as well.
Oh...and Kiva gift certificates for your best customers??
