I have been planning to make my holiday cards this year, though as we're now nearly two weeks away from Christmas, I'm realizing that it might not happen. Which makes me very happy to have learned about these e-cards. Melissa Kushner, founder of Goods for Good, has teamed up with five illustrators and graphic artists in a series of 9 Holiday e-cards.

Each is sold on a donation basis, with proceeds going to benefit Goods for Good, which matches excess goods in the US (which are often destined for the landfill) with vulnerable children in the developing world. Consider: $10 will provide soap for 450 nursery school children. $25 will provide new shoes for over 30 orphans. $50 means fabric for 170 school uniforms. $100 provide pens and notepads for 150 students. Seems like a nice way to check something off of your to-do list and give back at the same time. Plus the designs are pretty fantastic, I think.

Here are a few more of the available designs (UPDATE: There are new designs this year. Check out the site to see 'em!)
