gifts that give

Who doesn't love to open a well chosen gift at holiday time? And the more capricious, the better. Maybe it reminds us how lucky we are - to give and receive something totally unnecessary. But sometimes giving can get out of hand, often when a new baby arrives. If you want to show your love to a new baby but want to avoid the the lavish over-gifting, check out Heifer International. Going strong since 1944 and helping people all over the world with livestock and other materials for self-reliance. Give some chicks, a goat, a calf, or a share in a buffalo, or some seedlings in their name to someone in need from Cameroon to the Caribbean. Gifts start at a mere $10.00 for a share. This way, even a tiny newborn can help another one far away!
