The Wedding Channel might help; you can register for gifts from places like Macy's, Crate & Barrel, Kohl's and Bed, Bath & Beyond, just to name a few. And they will donate to charity for every gift purchased through the site. weddingchannel.com/wedding-gift-registry....
And since you can add gifts from any store, plus have the ability to receive group gifts and get 10% on Zola for an entire year after your wedding (even on items that weren't originally on your list), this digital registry is seriously worth considering. It's no secret that this retail giant has become hugely popular, and if you are one of the many fans of their "designer goods for less" credo, you should certainly stop by Target to register. You'll also get a 15% completion offer to use in store and online for those last few gifts on your list.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
