Starting Point: Gift giving is a billion dollar sector, yet many presents offer only repetitions of what the receiver already has more of than they need, and the gifts have little to do with the values both giver and receiver hold dear

Organizing Strategy: Offer givers an alternative of matching up gifts with the values of those involved

Tools: Extensive range of products and services customized by Changing the Present offered through the website

Outcomes: Meaningful contributions that are satisfying to both parties, and good created with the gifts
