Stumped for a gift?
typically by Dec. 20 there’s at least one person (Hi, Dad!) whose Xmas present has me completely stumped, and typically there’s much more than one such unfortunate recipient on my list. These are typically the folks of whom one could say that the last thing they need is much more stuff … but by Dec. 20 I’m already in panic mode, and I forget that.
Not any much more … there’s this terrific new site, changing The present — it’s one-stop charitable gift-giving for everyone on your list. They have not only my beloved Heifer international sheep, but all sorts of other non-things. environmental causes. help for the disabled. Women’s issues (which are really human issues, but never mind … ) This image here is shown to illustrate that $50 will educate 100 girls in the Congo. One hundred girls!
They include all the typical suspects charities, so it’s incredibly convenient — one cart, one payment, one site. and you can create a registry or a wishlist, too, if you want to be on the receiving end of some girl-educatin’ giftiness.
So if it’s reaching vital decision time on your holiday shopping list, go try it out … it can’t be worse than this gift (from the site’s dumb gifts list) — the inflatable canine hat. (This canine should have been sedated; I’ve never met a canine who wouldn’t have had this half-eaten by the time it took you to click the shutter on the camera!)
