The Nature Conservancy would be happy to gift that special someone on your list with a half-acre or more of Costa Rican rainforest. (For an explanation of their Conservation By Design philosophy, go here.) All levels of giving come with a certificate, fact sheet, and a one-year subscription to their award-winning magazine. That's not a bad deal starting at $25, and I promise Junior's parents will appreciate it more than the latest Elmo.
