For your number 2 I can recommend glycerine soap. Harder to find in the shops this year but worth the effort, I pick a fruity one. I use it everyday now, and find I don't need a hand cream even in winter, meaning instead of 2 products you buy just one.

My only quibble is I wish I'd read this a little earlier in the "gift" season! Saving because it's such a thoughtful approach. Thank you!!!

What an inspiring list of gift ideas. I love the idea of giving a photo or a book that I have written in. Personally I like to give something handmade if possible. Last year I did a Making Kefir Workshop as a gift and raised $500 for the Local Food Bank . It was a lot of fun and was especially popular with younger women in my community. Which I really appreciated.

Thank you, your post got me thinking about gifts we could give our communities.
