Mobos Modular Storage bins, cabinets and shelves are a great way for a teen to organize and store books, CDs, DVDs, electronics, anything they want to have easily accessible. Mobos are designed to hang from a bar you mount on the wall, and because they can be mixed and matched in any way, they add to the design of a room while providing functional storage space too. Available in 8 different shapes and 13 different colors. I like the look of this blue set for either a girl’s or boy’s room.

You can buy Mobos from ilovemobos.com or use the store locator to find a location near you.

UniversalGiving™ is a non-profit using a web-based marketplace to connect people to the best opportunities to give or volunteer internationally.  It’s easy to find an option in any price range, and on a personalized subject. For example, a teen who likes gardening might love Provide Gardening Tools for a Cambodian Family. Just $20, and it helps a family on the road to self-sufficiency. A sports lover might appreciate the opportunity to Give a Child the Gift of Play, sending a soccer ball to an impoverished child for $15 . As a non-profit organization, UniversalGiving takes no cut of the donation, 100% of your gift goes to the charity of your choice.  There’s so much that can be done–it’s easy to do, it’s easy on the budget, and it’s a truly meaningful gift.
