It’s hard to believe, but the Christmas shopping season is once again approaching. If you’re anything like me, you’ve got friends and relatives that are super difficult to shop for. My parents, for example. They’re far enough along in life that they’ve got pretty much everything they want or need. I still like to get them something though. After all, they did so much for me growing up. The least I can do is come up with a decent gift at Christmas.
I got an email from Sandra at Heifer International recently, reminding me of all the great work they do. If you’re not familiar, Heifer International provides livestock and environmentally sound agricultural training to improve the lives of individuals who are struggling daily for reliable sources of food and income. In operation since 1944, Heifer is active in 42 countries around the world.
Through Heifer International’s Gift Catalog, shoppers can select socially-conscious and eco-friendly gifts to dedicate to their loved ones, including:
Family and friends will receive a beautiful card describing the benefits of their gift. Givers and recipients can rest assure that their gift is making an impact as one of Heifer International’s fundamental principles – “Passing on the Gift” – creates a living cycle of sustainability that develops community and enhances self-esteem by allowing gift recipients to become donors.

We receive a Heifer International gift from my parents each Christmas and love it! We always wonder what names “our” goat or chickens will be given by the children in the family receiving them. It’s a great way to teach our children that Christmas isn’t just about what you get, but what you give. 🙂
