Double duty dollars for the holidays

I stole that line from sozobe who posted a link to Ikea on another thread. This year when you buy a soft toy from Ikea they will donate a dollar to UNICEF and Save the Children:

On that thread eoe mentioned the One Laptop per Child program which will donate a laptop to a child for each one bought:

I just came across another - a solar powered flashlight. For each one bought the company will donate one to a village that doesn't have electricity:

With holiday shopping around the corner I thought maybe these links would be useful -- maybe they're things you were thinking of buying anyway.

Do you know of any other such or similar programs?

Please post them here!

Happy shopping!

Mr. B just called and said that he had seen an ad in Newsweek about the buy one get one laptop computer deal and he was wondering if I knew anything about it. Just happened that I did. Thanks eoe!

Good idea for a thread!

FreeDuck has more about the XO laptop here:

I'm seriously considering it but haven't decided yet.
