I'm very huggy so if I gave vouchers like that they'd be pretty useless. Shannon – What a lovely idea! I’m very huggy so if I gave vouchers like that they’d be pretty useless.

This year I am giving my Mum a book of vouchers for hugs. I am not a very touchy person and she hardly ever gets hugs from me, so i know it will make her day.

Except that all my friends now know what they are getting... Bambola - Yay! Glad you like it! Scribbles - I have faith! You can do it! Lux - Do it for others and I promise the favour will eventually be returned! Sal - Broke is understatement right now! Nadist - :-) Katiecrackernuts - That sounds awesome! I love home made goods. KD - I'm totally going to do the truffles thing! I love making food! Wendyb - I don't mean donate to ANY charity I mean give a gift anonymously to a child who might not get one otherwise. You also don't get tax breaks from that - you can't exactly claim toys from Kmart can you.. I can't think of anyone who would object to such an idea even they support another charity. Kerrin - Thank god or no one would love me anymore! Vixel – Me too! Except that all my friends now know what they are getting…

I have my personal charities that I support so someone giving in my name (but getting the tax break) for some other charity that I maybe don't care about? No thanks. That's all about the giver feeling good about him/herself. Sometimes "it's the thought that counts" should mean you're actually thinking about the gift-receiver. I'd rather receive a cupcake that an example of someone's self-satisfaction. No, no, don’t donate to charity.

I love hunting down vintage scarves all year to give away at Christmas. Some of my favourites I've given to friends. I hope they wear them, or use them to cover little tables with stacks of books, or as throws over yummy afternoon teas. This year it's bunches of herbs, beers and wines, bunches of flowers from the garden (and celery - I have masses), banana chutney, shortbreads and gingerbreads - all made by us. I'm printing my cards this weekend. All lovely ideas. I love hunting down vintage scarves all year to give away at Christmas. Some of my favourites I’ve given to friends.
