Thanks for sharing the great gift ideas! Another creative, thoughtful holiday gift is one that helps others at the same time. A few weeks ago, I started interning at a great nonprofit called DonorsChoose.org, which delivers much-needed materials to public school students. They offer holiday gift cards unlike any I’ve seen: the giver makes a tax-deductible donation by purchasing the gift card, and the recipient chooses a specific classroom project to support. S/he could choose a classroom in their hometown, or a project involving their favorite hobby like knitting, technology, etc. There are over 14,000 projects on the website, from every state and any topic you can imagine, so it’s a very personal gift.
The really fun, unique part of the gift card is that the recipient then hears back from the classroom she supported!
