Hey Tanya, so glad you made it over to my blog to sign up for the Starbucks giveaway! And how cool that they are donating a portion of purchases to an AIDS cause!

Samaritans Purse does a similar thing. We sat down with our kids and showed them the catalog and they chose a gift to give as a replacement for a gift they would have recieved from us. Then Samaritans Purse will send us “In Honor” cards that we’ll wrap for our kids to unwrap Christmas morning as their “gift”. My kids had fun choosing things to give. My 4 year old boy chose a brood of chicks because he thought it would be fun to get chickens for Christmas. My 7 year old chose a months tuition to teach a child to read and write because she loves to read. And my 6 month old “chose” to feed a hungry baby for 2 weeks because he loves to eat. It was a great experience and made it very personal for my kids and our family.

My husband wants a goat so he doesn’t have to mow anymore.
But I think that’s a little different than what you mean.

My in laws gave us that a few years ago for Christmas (I’m one of those hard people to buy for). And we LOVED it! My only complaint was that I could not deliver the goat myself. It’s really such a practical, great way to help someone else!
