Cyber Monday doesn't have to be only about finding great deals for yourself. You can do some good today and buy something at the Oxfam charity gift shop. All gifts bought today will be matched.
A charity gift is a purchase of necessary supplies or goods for people in need around the world. For $30, you can have 50 trees planted, and today, your $30 will buy 100 trees.
A $25 donation will buy books for schoolchildren in developing countries like Ethiopia, and today your gift will go twice as far.
You can buy a goat for a farmer trying to start a herd in arid landscapes for $50, or two goats if you buy it today. Goats provide milk and meat so poor families can feed themselves and start businesses to support their children and communities.
Every time you buy a charity gift, you can have a card sent to a friend or loved one informing them that you purchased something in their name.
"It's a #CyberMonday Match! Today only all Oxfam Unwrapped gifts make twice the difference for families in need https://t.co/8ERjSgFx," tweeted Oxfam America.
