Gift Giving That Gives Back

"This holiday season, with budgets stretched thin, we thought it made sense to find gifts that give twice: Presents with a ripple effect from your pocketbook to your neighbors, your community - or to the world. It might be a museum membership to delight family, jewelry or crafts that sparkle and boost an artist's income, tickets to a garden show that will educate and enlighten - and support local green thumb.

We've made a list (and checked it twice) of gifts that offer double happiness - for those receiving now, and those receiving later.

Happy holidays."
