Awhile ago, someone ( I think it was jeviltwin, but I'm not sure) mentioned a catalogue where one could purchase chickens and pigs and things to be donated to people in need. If anyone knows anything about this, or any other organization that does this kind of thing, I'd love to know more about it.
Every year I want to give donations instead of Christmas gifts and this sounds like the perfect opportunity. I know The Heifer Project is also something I need to investigate.
AFAIK these are the same thing. You want Heifer's gift catalog. I gave my dad a flock of chicks (or rather, bought a flock of chicks on his behalf) for his birthday and he was thrilled. You can buy online from their catalogue, and download information to give to the giftee.
I'm so with you on the Stuff. I want to talk to the famille about this soon because in most cases I can't think of anything useful to give, and the same is true of others for me, and this is SO much more important.
But munchkins ABSOLUTELY deserve Real (tangible) Presents.
