HeartIsHot.com: Great Valentine's Day "green" gift that helps build schools in Africa
If you're looking for a creative, inspiring gift, check out Heart is Hot, where you can purchase a beautiful recycled glass heart icon that you can gift to a loved one, or even a stranger. Each heart is individually numbered so you can log into the site and write a story about the person you're gifting it to. The recipient can then log in and write a story and is encouraged to re-gift the heart and pass on the love to another person, who in turn writes a story. The hearts are tracked all over the world through the site. Heart number 224 has traveled 3763.74 miles through nine people. Sahara, the 29Gifter who started Heart is Hot, calls it "re-gifting at its finest." I call it a brilliant and a whole lotta fun!
Plus, $2.00 of your purchase helps build schools in Africa. During the months of January and February, Sahara will donate $2.00 of each heart purchased to the Unstoppable Giving Foundation, which is raising money to help build schools in Africa for underprivileged children. Her goal is to raise $1,000.00, which will help build forty schools in Africa and provide life-saving services. The proceeds will go directly to the Unstoppable Foundation to be distributed to in-country partners including Free the Children and the Just Like My Child Foundation where they'll be building schools starting in Uganda and Kenya.
Price per heart at HeartIsHot.com: $24.99

I have a "thing" for hearts (as you can imagine I'm sure) and I found this site a little while after Nova died... I swore I was going to buy some hearts, but couldn't afford it, and totally forgot all about the site until I saw this post. I'm so glad I rediscovered it!
