instead of giving out favors, we’ll be donating somewhere (haven’t decided yet) in honor of all our guests. ^_^ i’ll be posting about this later~

oxfam! http://www.oxfamamericaunwrapped.com/ you can buy a goat or sheep or something of the like to needy countries all over the world in someone else’s name as a gift.

so it doesn’t directly go towards purchasing one goat or one sheep but at least you get the idea of what you’re contributing towards in a gift card with a picture of the “gift” and description of why it’s needed in certain countries (as well as your own personal message on it). it’s a nice visual and something you can hand to someone to represent the gift of giving. much better than a fruitcake or another blender!

i’m going to be doing that for some of the people in my life for the holidays this year and it was especially fun because I got to pick things that have special inside jokes/meaning to us. i’ll probably include with the gift card a small stuffed animal representing the gift as well.
