[...] [...] I love the idea for ChangingThePresent.com.  Instead of an infomercial with some well-dressed British man standing around 50 starving African children making you feel terrible because you’d rather let them starve than eat out, you have a site that lets you pick what type of organization you’d like to help, based on your own preferences.  Instead of feeling guilty, you feel great about giving (and without being pushed).  Isn’t that what giving is supposed to be anyway?

There is no love involved in buying something off of a list. That’s called grocery shopping. [...] [...] The true meaning of a gift is something that is given, as an act of thoughtfulness or love.

I was forced to give presents to people I didn't like when I was a kid, so I don't want them to feel any obligation. They *can* give me a present, but none are expected, so they usually don't. They each have Amazon wish lists, but I don't buy off of them. I try to buy them things that they'll love that they *haven't* asked for. Their dad buys off the lists because he doesn't have as much imagination, so it generally works out well. I don’t let my kids give me presents (they range in age from 12 to 25).
