Hi Marenda. I’ve been tagged to list 7 weird and random facts about myself and wondered if you wanted to give it a go too? Apologies if you already have done this or it’s not for you, but I decided to nominate you for the challenge because of your positive attitude and most excellent and enjoyable writing. Best wishes to you and Happy Christmas. Steph x
Hi Marenda. I’m a thirteen year old teen entrepreneur and I’d really like for you to check out my website. I sell the original bandless ear muffs by EarMitts. They really work and are soooo comfortable and stylish- really! Thanks Marenda. Matthew MittsForYourEars.com
P.S. 20% of my gross profits are donated to the Salvation Army
Hello Marenda, nice post. Keep sharing such information.
Oxfam has a great Unwrapped program to give sheep, plant trees, buy seeds for underdeveloped areas of the world and the recipient gets a card explaining the gift. Allows for gift giving while limiting consumerism.
Hi again, Miranda!
It’s me, Matthew Shriner, teen entrepreneur. I wanted to update you on my website. I have my new format up and this year, 2008, I am donating 10% of my profits to the Special Olympics. The World Winter Games 2009 are going to be held in my home state in Boise, ID.
Thanks, Miranda. I think you are inspiring.
Marenda I love giving gifts like these and I think people like receiving them better do, it’s like giving money to these great organizations and getting a gift in return. I gotta give them credit for this it’s a great way to raise funds!
I like your suggestion. The scarves come in fifty different colors and cost $74. I love the photo of pink pair of Lobz ear warmer headphones, look very cheering me internally. If I am so touching with that then my wife would surely become joys. I thank you for that.
you say “XO laptop will be sent to empower a child in a developing nation and one will be sent to the child in your life in recognition of your contribution.” right but my wife and I waiting for naught kids.
I love that green laptop with the horns.
Hi
I love the idea of Gifts that give Back, and yeah I am thinking of getting that neat looking Green Laptop sometime very soon.
Thanks for the ideas.
The XO laptop gift is awesome. A $399 donation for a laptop to be sent to a child in a developing nation seems priceless. More people should be donating for this great cause!
