[quote=Anonymous]I love cutting back on gifts exchanged in general, but it's so fun to give gifts to little kids. So, my sister and I made an agreement a few years back that all the gifts we exchange between our families (six kids under 11 total) would be green or small-business. We've bought second-hand books, toys from small businesses, and lots of handcrafted stuff from local Christmas markets. It's fun, and I think in a way it recaptures the spirit of giving because we are looking for unique and fun gifts -- not just sending each other links to toys the kids want. One year, I bought a huge lot of costume jewelry from an estate sale for my niece to play with for dress-up, and another year I found the original My Little Ponies (like the ones I had in the 80s!) on eBay. Kudos to everyone for trying to be kind of the earth this season! I'll be following this thread for ideas![/quote]
