I have been doing this for many, many years and not only does it (selfishly) make holiday giving WAY easier , it is one of the most personalized and inspiring gifts to give those who you love. It truly in the spirit of 'goodwill towards men' (and women) and can even start a deeper conversation about community/humanitarian support.

I have NEVER gotten more thankful and heartfelt reactions to gift-giving than when I started giving in the form of charitable donations!

(P.S. we even did this as our wedding favors to our guests--we gave to the Alzheimer's Association in honor of my husband's maternal grandmother, who was unable to attend. Major props from my new mother-in-law !)
