Gift Matrix – December 9 2024

How to choose the perfect Love, Delivered gift for everyone 

Nearly 60% of Americans* would rather receive a charitable gift in their name than a sweater this holiday season… which means a present that delivers real love and life-changing support to vulnerable children and families is a no-brainer for everyone on your list! 

The real challenge? Picking a gift that flawlessly captures the complexity of each of your relationships—the perfect mix of “genuinely touching” and “delightfully tongue-in-cheek.” 

But don’t worry—we’ve done the hard work for you with our (*drumroll* please) holiday gift matrix! 

Designed to help you nail the perfect present, you can pick the best gift for everyone on your list, then head over to our gift catalog to wrap up your holiday shopping (see what we did there?) 

 
Hand water pump

Grown up family

A classic. Like those holiday cookies you love. Perfect for everyone, but especially for parents and grandparents who always made you wash your hands before coming to the table. This gift will make a splash! 

Launch a small business 

High stakes  

Does the idea of picking your boss’ gift leave you with clammy hands? No sweat—deliver a small business loan to a parent in need in their name. For bonus points, tell them their leadership and business savvy inspired you. 

Bicycle 

It’s complicated 

Ultimate present for when you wish you had a getaway car from the holiday celebration, but—of course—you can’t say that to your in-laws or uncle (who loves to talk politics at the dinner table).  So send your message by sending a bike—it’s a wheelie great gift. 

Backpack 

Little ones 

You might not understand the new slang (how is sigma used as an adjective anyway?), but you can connect with your little one using the universal language of generosity. Buy a backpack in their name for a student in need around the world.  

Sewing supplies 

Close friends 

Have a buddy who leaves you in stitches? Show your appreciation for their stellar humor with sewing supplies. Your pal will be sew excited about supporting a family’s financial stability. 

Goat 

OMG BFF 

A friendly, smart animal that thrives when surrounded by others. Perfect for your bestie or the G.O.A.T (greatest of all time) in your life!  

Chicken 

Everybody 

Did you know chickens have distinct personalities? They can be social, fearless, shy, distant, etc., which makes them the gift that can best represent… well, anyone!  

Glasses 

It’s complicated 

An ideal present for that vague romantic entanglement with a not-so-subtle hint. (Can’t they see what’s right in front of them?) 

Sheep 

Cuddle buddy 

The softest cuddle companion—and totally on-theme for the season! Giving a sheep is never a baaaad choice. 

School meals for a child 

Dinner date 

The best gift to tell your loved one that dinners together leave you with a full belly and heart.  

Egg incubator 

For that special someone 

An egg-cellant gift for the one who makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. 

Drought-resistant seeds 

For that special someone 

Why get flowers for your significant other when you can express your undying love with drought-resistant seeds? These small-but-mighty seeds can weather whatever life throws at them, blooming like your unwavering devotion to that special someone.
