erm usual present exchange – i think christmas is good in terms of encouraging people to give and to think about what others want.

We just have a budget and try and stick to it where we can.

Your version tho sounds v cool as well…

Thanks Rach. I didn’t know about the Grassroots’ Alternative Gift List, it looks great.

Great post Lyn! I’ll add to my links list. I’m impressed and overwhelmed by how much you’ve already gotten done, by the way! I’m just starting to process.

Fantastic, I think this is a great idea. We gave a few of these gifts last year and will do the same this year. For anyone else who's thinking of doing the same, I can really recommend Grassroots' Alternative Gift List. They don't take any money for their admin costs so all the money for the gift goes to the project. They run a good child sponsorship scheme along the same principles too...
