Birthday

For any birthday celebration, make it a Yom Huledet Sameach with these nifty gifts!

 

~Thinking Outside the Gift Box~

  • Think activity: give tickets to a show, a certificate to a favorite restaurant, a pass to a botanical garden or national park.
  • Buy carbon offsets in the recipient’s name!
  • Subscribe the recipient to an environmental magazine such as National Geographic or buy an interesting environmental book!
  • With Drive Neutral Certification, offset the birthday driver’s ride for a whole year!
  • Plant a tree in honor of a birthday! You can do this in Israel, America, or any country or backyard of your choice!
  • Buy someone song downloads from iTunes! They’re better than piles of CDs that just lie around!
  • Make your own gift!
    • Bake some of your most delicious goods made especially for the birthday occasion!
    • Create your own gift certificate or coupon! You can offer to babysit, dog-walk, make dinner, or take your special someone out on the town!
  • Have fresh, local fruits and veggies delivered to the celebrant’s home by signing them up for a Community Supported Agriculture Membership! To find a CSA near the recipient, visit Local Harvest and Tuv Ha’artetz at Hazon!
  • Make an impact on the world in honor of this birthday event by donating to a charity. Try the Charity Navigator.
