There is a part of me that really hates the holidays. What I don't like is buying or receiving gifts that are "stuff."    I'm not a scrooge.  But, as I've said before, as much as possible, I try to give money to causes that I care about in honor of friends and family and encourage them to support these causes in lieu of giving us "stuff."

Yet still, every year we end up with some "stuff."  But this year, I've found a cool way to regift the gifts we don't need (or want) and support a good cause.   It's called eBay Giving Works and it is easy to do:  You list an item to sell on eBay and donate between 10% and 100% of the final sale price to our favorite nonprofit organization.
