Frequently Asked Questions
Are these gifts suitable for corporate gifting, Secret Santa, or group gifts?
Yes! Most of these places are offering everyday things like lifestyle products, accessories, homeware, and functional items.
Can I donate to causes directly instead of buying a gift?
Absolutely. Gift-linked campaigns are more for people who prefer tangible gifts, but many charities and organisations accept direct donations.
How can I tell if a giving model is legitimate?
Looks for clear statements and mentions of where the money is going to, including information like the beneficiary name, donation amount, percentage etc.
After the campaign is over, keep an eye out for receipts or impact reports to check if the funds have been sent to the beneficiary.
