I am a member of Bzz and they have something called the Frog Pond, where you can view different websites.
I have seen a couple of neat sites, where I think they have some neat gifts for people who are hard to buy for. I wish I had seen these a month or two ago, as I think I would have got some of these things for some of the people.
The first site is Oxfam America I mean you can buy a dozen chicks for $40, here is Oxfam Canada , Oxfam Britain and Oxfam Australia For your own country, just google Oxfam and your country.
Another neat site is called Mokugift where you can plant a tree. You pick a continent, then pick a country, then pick how many trees, at a dollar a tree, its a cheap gift.
For those of you who can afford it there is One Laptop Per Child Foundation where you can give a child in a developing country a laptop for $199 USD.
Please let me know any other sites where you can buy a "gift" that will help out others..........

Hi Gill,

good ideas...i like the idea of helping someone that really needs something that will make a difference in their daily lives.
thanks for sharing this.
The four daughters and their spouses plus Abe and I put our names in a hat and drew, this means we each have one gift to buy. Sure saves a lot of time and money. We don't put the kids names in and everyone still buys them each something. I keep telling them just getting together and letting the kids open gifts is enough of a Christmas for me, plus having our meal together.
I like the idea of helping out the less fortunate, but a laptop for a child in a developing country?! Wouldn't food, clothing or shelter be better? My child in this country doesn't have a laptop! :)
I will check the Oxfam Britain out tonight-lovely idea, and creative as always
When I worked instead of buying for each other we used to buy "alternative gifts" from CAFOD http://worldgifts.cafod.org.uk/homeSame sort of thing as Oxfam. They are great. I've bought a goat, water for a village and school starter packs in the past. Much better than getting stuff you don't want or need.
They sound like some interesting websites. I haven't even started shopping yet!
Greta gift ideas!
