What is a gift?
A gift is something we give
from our hearts. We may give it to someone we know, a family member, one
of our children, a co-worker - or we may give it to a total stranger, a beggar
on the street, a victim of a natural disaster, a refugee from war, an orphaned
child, or
a victim of AIDS.
Sometimes we want to give, but we don't know how. How do
we give to a homeless person in our home town? How do we give to an orphan in a foreign
country? Can we give a personalized gift such as a
blanket or
food?
Is giving money to non-profit organizations going to get the needed goods to the
people in need? How do we know if an organization is legitimate and will
truly give our gifts to the needy? Here we offer a way to buy online and ship directly to your chosen charity. For example, you can order bulk quantities of
antibiotics,
bandages,
batteries,
flash drives,
hats,
shoes,
pencils,

sanitary napkins,
socks,
toothbrushes,
toys,
diapers,
panties,
underwear
and many
other products
in large quantities to be shipped to anyplace in the world, often with free shipping! See Bulk menu choice on left tree menu for a complete listing.

in advance with great deals from our trusted partners.
Accessories
Travel Accessories should be planned in advance to avoid getting caught without functional communication devices and essential toiletries, conveniences, comfort items and cameras best suited for the occasion.
Here we present special selections at best prices! For example, you may need to upgrade your
phone with an international sim card and acquire special
GPS maps, safe
Wi-Fi port (for your tablet or phone),
auto accessories,
pillows,
chargers, better
camera,
image storage,
batteries and
selfie sticks or a
sports action camcorder-video when you're ready to show off!!
And very convenient to tote a
tablet to store digital travel guides and language translation guides.
Most tablets today also include a camera which you can use as a backup for other cameras you may carry, and with Wi-Fi can serve as an email agent to reduce the costs of international phone charges. Some tablets we display also work as mobile phones. Whenever flying, make sure your backpacks, bags, bottles, toiletries, gadgets and luggage locks are
TSA approved.
Learn how to get
TSA Pre-approved or PreChecked.
How about a special
smart watch with an altimeter? Maybe some new
luggage is due
as well as a
toiletries or cosmetics travel kit
that complies with safety standards. A new
credit card
may give you the flexibility you need for a special trip including additional
accessories.
Destinations
Whether your destinations may include
Africa,
America,
Asia,
South Asia,
Europe or
Oceania,
it's always best to plan as early as possible and learn as much as you can about what to expect and look forward to, including the
apparel
you need to travel comfortably and in appropriate style for planned activities.
Languages
Language Translation for Traveling can be facilitated by having a
foreign language vocabulary guide in your pocket,
bag, cell phone or tablet including specially selected vocabulary guides for popular languages like
Chinese,
French,
German,
Italian,
Japanese,
Russian,
Spanish and many more.
In addition to digital documents for your mobile devices, you can also download translator apps such as
Google Translate or
Sonico iTranslate. Some of these mobile apps
translate both text and voice for a number of different languages.
Learning about people you encounter in foreign places is one of the greatest rewards for traveling, and learning the language at least to a conversational level is usually the first step.
Safety
Travel Safety Planning may include guidance and resources like those we especially selected for your
children or
pets or for
high altitude,
weather,
luggage locks,
maps,
etiquette,
regulations and
self-defense. Make sure
any self-defense devices you bring with you, if any, are approved by travel regulations and laws of destination states and are safe for traveling. You may also need some advice or assistance in securing your
tourist visa or passport for certain countries.
Travel insurance
is also a worthy margin when costs are considerable. Stuff happens, especially when venturing into new places for the unseasoned traveler. If you're a little paranoid about traveling, you can
learn more about safety and also focus on
safe destinations
for minimizing known risks in foreign places. The better you plan and prepare, the more you will enjoy and be ready for any unfortunate events that may possibly occur. See
Travel
menu on left for more travel topics such as agents, currency, photos backup, printer, scanner and more including popular
destinations
in all corners of the globe.
Planning Tools
Planning with a spreadsheet is a good idea such as the templates from Microsoft including Family_vacation_itinerary.xlsx,
Vacation_items_checklist.xlsm and Vacation_planner.xlsx. Click to download these spreadsheets or you can
search for more templates using
Microsoft Office Excel on your PC. You may share
such documents with friends and family in your travel group to keep everyone in sinc and get mutual support and input. It's easy to use Microsoft One or Google Drive to allow your group to share these
documents. Good planning in advance,
with reliable intelligence,
helps you to worry less and enjoy or accomplish more on your travels!
OK, this is a lot of information to help you plan in advance for a significant journey or vacation, but if you now need to get
a good price for traveling from here to there in the near future, get some good prices by keying in your destination on this page
here. You don't have to sell your soul just to get some
prices from our trusted travel partners!
Giving while Traveling
Opportunities to Give are Plentiful: Regardless of your formal plans, you will inevitably encounter opportunities to give
to people in need during your travels. Almost anywhere in the world, there are people, often young children, asking for help in the streets.
Give what you can and be supportive by buying local handcrafts or tipping street entertainers. If your children are with you, this may
be an occasion to teach them the joy of giving and helping others. Or go the next step to make giving a part of your plan. Plan to give
and enjoy the opportunity to make someone smile! It may be a good idea to keep an extra
purse or wallet
of small denomination bills or coins as your gift giving wallet. Remember, you don't have to go out of your way to find people in need: they are just
about everywhere you may possibly travel. But, if you are interested in visiting an orphanage, for example, most orphanages welcome visitors, especially
those bearing gifts. See the Give-to-Orphans page for gifts ideas.
