Shopping for Charity / Embedded Giving

So did anybody out there buy products and gift for folks because a portion of the proceeds went to charity? Did any of you have one these programs for your organization? So how would you book those?

I think as the popularity of these kind of programs continues to grow there will be more and more questions raised. I'm for encouraging donations but there needs to be some serious accountability in these programs to make sure the $$ gets to the charities. And will programs like these hurt direct contributions to charities in the long run?
