Support a Student this Holiday Season! This holiday season, EYE SPY has found the perfect holiday gift for students. For as little as $10, a Vittana gift card will help fund a student loan to help a kid in a developing nation get education and training to secure a professional job, triple their earnings and transform their life. It's hard to come up with impactful - and affordable - holiday gifts. Books, candles and Starbucks cards are overdone. But a Vittana gift card is not only something new, it can mean the difference between selling tamales for wages that barely support a family and working as a professional accountant to end the cycle of poverty in a family.

Card recipients can visit the Vittana website to select the student they want to help; 100% of the value goes to fund that student's loan. And Vittana gift cards keep on giving - as the loan recipient repays their loan (which 99.8% of Vittana students do), the donor can reinvest the money in another student.

On November 29th Belvedere Vodka, the world's first super premium vodka took over Manhattan's Meatpacking district with a spectacular light show and music experience with electro-funk DJ duo Chromeo-DJ set to celebrate World AIDS Day.

Guests took to the streets of New York City to watch the area become illuminated in red against the backdrop of 20ft white neon trees to help Belvedere Vodka and (RED)™ raise awareness around the beginning of the end of AIDS -- meaning the virtual elimination of the HIV virus from mothers to their babies and achieving the first AIDS-free generation born by 2015.

EYE SPY has found something that we all need during the holiday's to get us through a long day at work! Check this out.

Mercy, the caffeine-free, non-alcoholic beverage that helps prevent hangovers, just launched its newly designed can featuring an angel and blue shield, symbolizing Mercy's goal to protect and defend our customers from their holiday indulgence.

Launched in 2011 after eight years of research and development, this carbonated beverage is packed with vitamins and amino acids that help fortify your body against damage caused by alcohol consumption. By simply enjoying one 65-calorie Mercy for every three to five alcoholic drinks, you can celebrate while ensuring a productive tomorrow. Drinking is not science, but preventing a hangover is. That festive cocktail at a holiday party produces a toxin called acetaldehyde, which is 30 times more dangerous than alcohol itself.

Mercy is unique in its high quantity of B1 (thiamine), a vitamin

EYE SPY is a huge fan of (RED) and both Billboard and Hollywood Reporter have posted this partnership news:

Tiesto will become the latest celebrity face of the (RED) campaign, teaming with the organization for a global event on World AIDS Day (Dec. 1, 2012) that will see the superstar DJ recruiting A-list house and EDM artists to raise awareness about the transmission of HIV from mothers to child.

"Having Tiesto engage his strong following to help (RED) deliver an AIDS-free generation is a dream true for us," (RED) CEO Deborah Dugan tells Billboard.biz. "This is just the kind of firepower we need to bring the world's attention to the fact that we can end AIDS; a notion that was considered virtually impossible a decade ago."

Tiesto is no stranger to aligning with brands, having previously appeared in campaigns for the likes of Axe body spray, HP, Intel, Armani Exchange and Heineken. Earlier this year, he inked a deal with Guess for a limited-edition capsule collection for men and

Montblanc, manufacturer of luxury handcrafted timepieces, was the official "TIMEWRITER" for the 2012 Breeder Cup World Championship.
