29-Day Giving Challenge

I thought I would share my Son's first birthday party  as it was a green one. 

 

I invited the family over and had a tree planted in his honor.  On the invitations to his birthday (internet based) we sent asked that nobody give a gift, but could plant a tree for him through lovetrees.ca

 

Now when I am stuck for wedding gifts, shower gifts, birthday gifts I go to the website and have a tree planted in honor of their occassion.

 

You are given a certificte that you can e-mail or print on recycled paper. 

 

It is a wonderful way to introduce your children to being environmentally conscious.

As with all of your gifts - I love this! Instead of toys, I'm going to start planting a tree for my nieces and nephews. My brother's 60th is coming up in April. I know what I'm getting him now. Thanks!
Mary to add to a tree planting certificate, you could add Dr. Suess' book the Lorax. It is such a wonderful story that teaches children about keeping the planet green. I usually do both as a gift.
Great idea - thanks!
I don't know if I can get away with this yet but my kids would love the tree planting idea. We planted two trees this mother's day. I think we will plant trees in our yard in honor of Earth Day next year.
Wow!!! I would never have thought of it. Now I know exactly what I'll give when I have no gift ideas.
Its a great gift instead of knick knacks for anniversary's or birthdays :)

lovely idea...xx

i wish someone had done that for me
