You can also gift a toilet. Or condom kits. (www.oxfamunwrapped.com) We like this.My mom’s cousin was killed by a water buffalo. So we *steer* clear. Get it? Go for the donkey instead.

I usually just toss my Heifer International catalog (or use it to rest my Manolos on) but now you’ve got me thinking it might be a good alternative for my video game crazed kids.

Some chicks, maybe. The water buffalo would just terrify them.

You can buy shares of animals. That’s disturbing. Of course, I’ve bought two books of “Bunny Suicides” for my pseudo in law so I guess it all balances!

That’s funny–I just bought my uncle a gift of bees and trees from Heifer International for Christmas. They were the most vegetarian-friendly items on the gift menu!

Thanks for the kind words about Heifer International. I joined Heifer as new media director last year and really appreciate it when someone blogs about us.

We have a new BlogRaising program that lets bloggers like you help us get the word out about Heifer and raise the money we need to do our work. To learn more, just go to http://www.heifer.org/onlinecommunityfundraising

I hope you are able to take part.

Again thanks for the good words.

K – so hubby got two shares of a Llama for Christmas. That is such a fantastic site! Now I need to go check out the worldwildlife link Beaweezil sent. Man, I love blogs…

Last Christmas I gave my neices polar bears. The package came with a cute fuzzy stuffed toy and a certificate and lets face it, they were one… what did they know or care? They certainly didn’t need more stuff. I plan on being the cool ass aunt bringing them for piercings whent the cute factor has totally worn off and the gift scene isn’t what it was!

Also, if you can’t afford to get someone a cow? HI lets you get them half a cow. You can’t say which half, however.

In light of Heifer International’s bunny policy, Maisie would like me to mention that socks are also all the rage on the Christmas-gift scene this year.
