Holiday Gift Guide for 2010

8) Charitable gifts: The World Vision gift catalogue makes it easy to find a creative donation to make in someone's name, from $30 for five ducks for a Bangladeshi family to start a duck farm, to $500 for a dairy cow to help feed a family in a developing country. Family fish kits start at $40 and job training for women starts at $25. A donation of $125 or more gets you a handmade Thai bag, too.
