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!
