A Great Secret Santa Gift Idea

Every year I seem to end up in one Secret Santa gift exchange or another. And every year I am stumped.  What can you buy for $10 or $20 that's meaningful or interesting?  I am not a fan of giving stuff just to give a gift, and there are only so many coffee-mugs-filled-with-Hershey's-Kisses that one can tolerate during the holidays.


But what if you could give your Secret Santa recipient something truly meaningful -- and potentially luxurious -- at the same time?  You can!  Buy your recipient a Passports with Purpose raffle ticket!  For every $10 you donate, you get a chance at one of the fabulous PwP prizes.  And by "fabulous" I mean "2-nights-at-a-5-star-hotel" fabulous! 
Some of the PwP prizes include:

• a $75 Lonely Planet gift certificate
• a Flip 60-minute Video Camcorder
• a Briggs & Riley Large Shopping Tote
  
• an iPod Touch
• a Ko'Aloha Soprano Ukulele
• Free Tuition to Matador U's online travel writing program

And did I mention my prize (donated by KiwiCollection.com): 2 nights at the luxurious Shangri-La Hotel in Vancouver, B.C.  Can you say "Olympics Getaway??"

So, don't buy junk this Christmas season!  Instead, get your Secret Santa recipient a gift that is truly meaningful.  They'll get the chance to win a fabulous prize, and you'll both be helping to build a school for children in rural Cambodia.
