giving

some ideas for holiday giving:

  • give donations - heifer international let you “buy” animals for people who need and can use them. does your kid need an ipod more than a sense of connectedness with the external world? forget what he tells you…
  • give experiences - subscriptions, lessons, concert tickets, or parties extend the giftgiving cycle beyond one day. do not confuse this with a gift card, though. give money before you give gift cards.
  • thanks, for inspiration
  • something you made - it’s like junior high shop for adults and whoever you give it to is almost sure to at least get a laugh out of it.
  • things with reusable wrapping - wrapping paper is a huge waste. try paper that might be reused or a nice bag.
  • other things not easily classifiable as “more stuff”
