I know, such a person probably does not exist. But just in case... here are a couple of ideas.
No bad ties
Boycott - Bad ties, silly gadgets, fad toys -- at some point we have all been guilty of buying a lame Christmas gift. But you don't have to be haunted by the ghosts of needless gifts past.
People across the country are pledging to buy only meaningful holiday gifts this season by joining the Nature Conservancy of Canada's Bad Tie Boycott. Give a "Gift of Canadian Nature" ( giftsofnature.ca) instead to help the NCC protect habitat for some of Canada's most threatened species.
Symbolic gifts include an acre of Canadian land, Canadian lynx habitat, burrowing owl habitat or grizzly bear habitat.
