Have a Green Christmas - Gift gen dot com Christmas Present Idea Generator Etc

Gift Gen - suggests presents based on price, age, character, sex, could be handy if you're stuck for ideas.

FYI: Last post days are 19th Dec for 2nd class, 21st Dec for 1st class. But you'll need to check with the website in question to see what their last days are.

Metro have a news item on "giving africa an animal" - World Land Trust say it's "grossly irresponsible", Animal Aid say it does "not diminish poverty" due to the fact that "all farmed animals require proper nourishment, large quantities of water, shelter from weather, and vetenary care" which is something places like Africa lack (they lack them for people, let alone animals).
