As close to a gift guide as you’ll get from the Corporate Babysitter
Enough with the gift guides. If you’re looking for a gift — eco-friendly, BPA-free, safe, local, gender neutral, fair-trade, all-natural or small-enough-to-fit-your-budget — the internets are full of guides to help you. You don’t need another from me.
What you may need is some inspiration. Perhaps I’m projecting. But check out:
CCFC Guide to Commercial-Free Holidays 2009
New American Dream’s Simplify the Holidays
Unplug Your Holidays from Mom Unplugged
“Please Don’t Buy Me Any Stuff” Gift Guide from Annie Fox
Have your own inspiration? Please share in the comments.
Bonus! Three Babysitter Approved gift suggestions:
A book: Actions Speak Loudest delves into the heart of thirty-two issues, ranging from childhood obesity to climate change, that are critical to the well-being of the next generation. All proceeds go back into the causes and organizations in the book.
A tee shirt: Pigtail Pals redefines girly.
A cause: Support The Advantage and Disadvantage of Zine: Self-Publishing in Cambodia, a long-term, multifaceted collaboration between PEM friend Anne Elizabeth Moore and a group of young women college students in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
