Here's the perfect holiday gift for the tiny animal lover (or her parents) on your holiday gift list this year: Visit animalgift.org to donate money to an IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare) animal campaign -- right now they are featuring elephant preservation, Russian bear cub rescue, or Canadian baby seal rescue -- and your good karma comes with small trinkets to pass along in commemoration of your gift. No, you don't do it for the pen and pencil set, colorful card, brochure, or even the canvas tote bag, but it's a nice little bonus. (Not to mention that this is a much more socially acceptable way to support wildlife than just standing around and spray-painting people's fur coats.)
