Give the Gift of Free Time
 

The holiday season is here and with it comes the frantic search for the perfect gifts for your friends. A spa gift certificate? A restaurant voucher? Movie passes? All great gifts – until your friend realizes that she has to find a sitter if she ever wants to use them.

Make the most of your holiday gift-giving by giving your friends a gift certificate to Sittercity.com, so they can actually find some free time in the New Year. Precious, adults-only, trade-in-the-sippy-cups-for-cocktails free time. And with several plan options, even the most budget-conscious friend can be a hero this season.

Click here to purchase a gift certificate and give your friends the gift of free time.



Make a Difference with Toys for Tots

Toys for Tots provides joy and hope to disadvantaged children who might otherwise be overlooked during the holidays. Sponsoring a toy means so much more than providing a child with entertainment for a few hours; your gift gives a child recognition, confidence and a positive memory for a lifetime.

Sittercity is excited to partner with Toys for Tots this year to help needy children across the country get the joyful Christmas they deserve -- but we can't do it alone! Your donations will be used to purchase and distribute age and gender appropriate gifts to economically disadvantaged children. If you donate in someone else's name, that person will receive a holiday card from Toys for Tots regarding the donation (another unique holiday gift idea).
