The other day I was thinking about gifts that I might like to give or receive, gifts large and small.
Donations to Save the Manatees or another organization are good gifts to give, and you might make a donation in honor or someone else.
Home made gifts that reuse cardboard, plastic, and other "garbage," can be very special gifts to make and give. You can make your own greeting cards.
When buying new toys, it's difficult, but try to avoid plastic and foam and over packaging by purchasing wooden, woolen, biodegradable crafts; you'll be supporting small businesspeople and artists if you buy at your local farmers or artisans market.
Reuse wrapping paper or make your own from the comics, brown paper bags, or pieces of fabric left over from sewing projects.
Some of the best cards and gifts I've ever received have been hand made ones!
