These cards can make a meaningful gift for that “someone” who has everything.   Choose from gifts ranging from $20 up to several hundred dollars.  You will receive a note card with envelope to send as your gift, letting the receiver know a meaningful gift has been made in their honor, along with an insert sheet describing the particular cause you have chosen (below).  This is a wonderful opportunity for birthday and holiday gift giving!
