4. For the photographer in your life, help them to go low-fi retro with a Lomographic camera from the Lomography Society.

5. What do you give the person that has everything? How about a rabbit?



Give the gift that changes lives. Buy a rabbit, goat or other useful animal for a woman in a third world country to:
1. feed her family
2. start a business and
3. Help her give back by sharing the offspring of her animal with others in need.
This might mean a donkey to haul goods to market in Kenya, a hearty goat to provide milk, cheese, etc. in an arrid evironment or an angora rabbit whose precious fur clippings bring $27 per pound to a woman high in the Himalayas living in poverty. Check it out at heifer.org
Shoot! this is so darn exciting that for every $100 in trade certificates we sell in the month of December we will donate $10 to heifer.org!
God bless us all Timmy!
