December NewsDon't buy! Donate. Seriously. Chances are you already have everything you need and so do your friends and family. Do we really need more *stuff*? It may be less romantic to donate to your favorite cause in someone's honor rather than buy them *stuff*, but there are people out there who need your resources more than your dad needs a new tie. Below are some of my favorite places to donate.Planned Parenthood
Himalayan Institute
Carter Center
World Vision
Oxfam
charity: water
World Wild Life
Sierra Club

And, this year, here's where I donated a lump sum in honor of everyone I would have bought a gift for. They even send out holday cards for you: Heifer International
