Is this the year you do holiday gifting differently? Or will you still give gifts the recipient doesn't need and may not even want? Will you spend more money than you can afford doing it?
Or will you give to charity in honor of your friends and family, like the Heifer Project, Plan International, and Save the Children? Did you know you can make a real difference in someone's life for as little as $15?
Why not buy a smaller gift for your family and friends and give a donation to someone who really needs it? We like to do that and then clip the descriptions of the donations and put it with the small gifts that we wrap.
It makes a difference in someone's life who has so much less than my family. And it teaches my family about giving differently. Recently my daughter said what she wanted me to do for her birthday was to donate winter scarves to the homeless. I think she gets it!

Give 'til it helps!
