Good Christmas Gift Guide 2008
Choosing gifts is always difficult: if you get the kind of thing they like they’ve probably got it already, while if you get the kind of thing they don’t like then, well, they probably won’t like it.Better to give a present you know someone will like – clean water, a breeding pig, a muck spreader – and pass on the warm inner glow rights to your friend.
If you want to give a present, as well as the warm inner glow, get them something smart and useful that also kicks back money to a good cause. Everybody likes cute pets, but nobody likes cleaning up after them – sponsor a dolphin or a koala or a Tasmanian devil and leave it to Mother Nature. Counteract some of the carbon debt from your celebrations. Plant a tree or two, or pay others to do the work on your loved ones’ behalf.
