Our best pressie this year was from my sis-in-law... she doesn't usually "do" pressies for everyone, but she discovered the OXFAM website...

She gave us 5 handfuls of seeds (we love to plant things), my ma-in-law got ywo ducks (she's a duck fan), her in-laws got 25 trees (they have always wanted to buy land and plant trees)...

The beauty is, we didn't get the seeds, ducks, trees and various other things... we just get a card telling us that we now have these and whereabouts in the world they have gone! Like the cahrity checks - a great gift to people who will really appreciate it.

I love that you have found, Salsa, that like your parents you give to similar/same organisations. It makes that link with those people you loved so much stronger.

Thank you for sharing, its made me think about my grandparents who always gave too...
