Birthday Gift

One good birthday gift idea is to choose a magazine subscription. This way, you are encouraging one of their hobbies or interests as well as providing something that will last until their next birthday. Hundreds of magazines are available to match the lucky recipient's personality. You might choose an artsy magazine about crafts, poetry, pottery, home improvement and décor, photography, painting, or bead work. Sports magazines vary from rowing, yoga, and dirt biking to basketball, curling, and roller blading. Travel magazines showcase beautiful photographs alongside fascinating articles.

Another option for an original birthday gift is assembling an assortment of smaller gifts around a central theme. Does your coworker, cousin, or neighbor love watching movies? You can buy a few packages of microwave popcorn, a big popcorn bowl, caramel mix, and a DVD you think they'll enjoy. Does your sister, uncle, or best friend just deserve a day off? Choose scented essential oil, small candles, and comfortable slippers of woven straw to orchestrate a relaxing bath that drains away tension.

Your friend or relative would surely appreciate a gift that means spending more time with you. Purchasing passes or tickets to an event, park, museum, or amusement park is a sure way to persuade them to take time off and have fun. Children love zoos, observatories, and wildlife parks. You can introduce adults to your favorite small theater for a weekend play or a wild concert at a large venue. For a fancier outing, consider a ride in a small tourist plane for a tour or a train ride that stops at country wineries.

Wedding Gift

1. Money – Yes it's true; while it may seem impersonal or uncreative, money is my number one recommended wedding gift. Most young couples are saving for something big – a house, a car, a piece of furniture, or are still paying back their student loans. Money may also help them have an extra-special honeymoon or let them order that extra photo for their album. While it's rude for a couple to ask for money, it is never rude to give cash. If you still want to give a personal wedding gift, combine the two: attach a check to a beautiful picture frame, a kitchen gadget, or a long letter detailing your wishes and advice for their marriage.

2. An expensive item off of their registry – Often the more-expensive items on a couple's registry are dream wedding gifts that they don't think they're actually going to get. Whether you're wealthy enough to buy such a wedding gift on your own, or you organize other guests to all chip in, you'll be making dreams come true.

3. A luxurious hotel room for their first night as a married couple – Start their marriage off right by giving them a night to remember before they take off for their honeymoon. Check with the bride's mother or the maid-of-honor to ensure reservations have not already been made, and give your gift early so that they'll be able to include it in their plans.

4. A wedding gift to stand the test of time – Whether it's a bottle of scotch or fine wine with instructions to open on their tenth anniversary, a gorgeous vase, or piece of art, give a gift on which the couple will be able to look fondly and say "Our friend John gave us that for our wedding." Other ideas include the couple's wedding invitation in a beautiful frame, a handmade quilt or tablecloth, or an antique piece of furniture.

5. Make their honeymoon extra sweet - If you've ever been to the place where the couple is honeymooning, use that knowledge to get them a gift certificate for your favorite restaurant or resort activity. You could also upgrade their plane tickets to first class, give them a camera to help them take great pictures, or give them some spending money tucked inside a guidebook of the area.

GIFT

This year, give your loved ones a gift that is meaningful and unique - an acre of rainforest, protected in their name.

Adopting an acre of rainforest for someone you love and presenting them with the certificate that has their name on it, will leave a lasting impression:

• Remind your loved ones that the holidays can truly be a season of giving, to each other and to the earth.
• Share your values with those you love. Show them the importance of protecting the environment by getting them started.
• Get noticed for giving the most unique and interesting gifts!

Do you have people in your list that are difficult to shop for? An honorary protected acre of rainforest is something that fits everyone and can be appreciated by anyone, whether its because they care about offsetting their carbon emmissions, protecting biodiversity, living socially responsibly or just want to feel they make a difference.

Do you have environmentally conscious people on your list? Give them something you know they value. The holidays can sometimes be full of consumption and waste: show your environmentally responsible loved ones you are sensitive to their ideals. Help them celebrate by protecting an acre of rainforest in their name
