Donations instead of gifts

I think I might have tweeted or blogged this before, so sorry for the possible repetition. Rather then giving a gift – a donation to a favourite or local charity is a wonderful carbon reduced and thoughtful gift.
I have bribed my children to accept cash for donations as birthday gifts. Although it is terribly hard for them to get their minds around not receiving the wrapped gift from their friends, they seem to accept it (as long as I promise them a birthday gift of significance) and like the attention they get when other adults applaud their generosity.
Try it, you will like it, and so will your charity of choice.
