Gift ideas
Have y'all started your Christmas shopping? Or at least thinking of gift ideas? Well, I got this in the mail the other day -- The Most Important Gift Catalog in the World. If anyone is thinking of giving a heifer, a goat, a pig, a sheep, rabbits, chicks, honeybees, a llama, tree seedlings, or an ark(a whole load of livestock, animals come in pairs, of course) in your or someone's name, this is the place to order.
 So, if y'all are interested, let me know and I'll post the website. :p |

If it doesn't need batteries, I don't want it. :p

Does your catalog include human sacrifices, Tulip? I think that would be quite a cool gift. I'd be up for tossing a few virgin politicians into a volcano or something

It's not supposed to be easy.

For a few hundred thousand, you could buy your special someone a congressman/woman.

Hey Tulip,why don't you post the link and we post the link and we can start with the recipes?
 Seriously, I have a hard time with the whole christmas present thing anyway. ans especially charitable giving in the name of someone who hasn't even asked for you to support that charity.... why not at least just give them cash to donate to the true charity of their choice? Doesn't giving a charitable donation on someone's behalf say either "You don't give enough to charity so I'm doing it for you instead of putting the thought into buying a present for you" or "you give to the wrong charities so I'm picking one for you"?

Because then you can take a tax deduction for the gift.

Depends on the recipient really, Monnie. For example: I have a friend who is a campaigner on issues around globalisation and poverty. She'd probably really dig a donation in her name.
I'm not getting her one though :P She'll get some funky stuff from the Amnesty catalogue instead. That's my way of donating whilst shopping. Specifically: she's getting a beeswax candle, in a terracotta pot. The pot has a pic of a sunflower on it and the legend 'use me and then use the pot to grow a flower to thank the bees'. She's also getting a 'World in your kitchen' recipe calendar, and a set of woven leaf disposable party plates  I usually get about a third or so of my gifts either from the Amnesty catalogue or the Oxfam catalogue.
