He/she/they already have everything. We all know someone that fits the description — most of us, if we’re honest about it, only know people who fit the description. Doesn’t mean you don’t want to tip your holiday season hat in their direction, though.

Consider then, the locally based company Tis Best. Think of them as facilitating interactive charitable gifting. You may certainly donate an Andrew Jackson to your local food bank in honor of your neighbor, but you might also consider a Tis Best card, which allows your neighbor, et al, to be more involved in the process of donation. With the customizable (you upload an image that you want on the card) non-profit gift certificate, which comes via email, via your printer, or via the U.S. mail in a form similar to a credit card (see image here), your friends and family choose where your/their gift goes.

More on those choices: There’s a list of Seattle- and Tacoma-area on-profits you may choose from, as well as national charities (Paws with a Cause, Feeding America), and ones centered in other U.S. cities, if say, your loved ones are in Dallas, Tx.

More on your money? Yes, you’re allowed to ask about that, too. In fact, I inquired on your behalf. Tis Best told me ‘Once a card is [activated], the charity receives the entire amount on the card, less a $1.95 transaction fee and 3% received by the credit card processor (as with all credit card transactions). So on $100, the charity gets $95.05. Fees like this are standard practice for charity gift card providers and TisBest offers the lowest per card cost in the industry. Another thing to note: TisBest is a 501©(3) charity, so the giver gets a tax deduction for the full amount of the card. For example, if you buy a $100 card, the giver gets a receipt for a $100 charitable donation to TisBest Philanthropy.’

Act now, givers. Here’s what a representative from the company told me about delivery options: ‘For the mail option, orders place before 3p are shipped the same day and can be shipped standard mail (2-5 business days) for free, 3-business day for $10, or next business day for $16. For Christmas, shoppers can order cards up until 3p on the 23rd and still have them delivered by the 24th (for the cost of overnight shipping). Orders placed after that will be delivered after Christmas.’
