As we all know, one of the reasons that the holiday season is so special is because it's a worthy reminder that we need to incorporate the spirit of giving, sharing and helping others into our daily lives.  Personally, I love purchasing gifts that not only delight my friends and family, but will also put a smile on the face of others in need.
