I can understand that gift cards can be somewhat inpersonal. I do like the ideas of donating to organizations or foundations in your name.

Here's another idea. Why not go to Vista Print and have some personalized note cards printed for each client with their name on them. They would probably really appreciate it.

I'm just not sure but I want it to be something unique. Something they would not have thought of, kinda like a VA.

Different, practical and glad to have one.

That's why I sent coffee plants for the first year...

I was reading on another networking site that some people donate to charity and then send an e-card. Not only can this elicit good feeling at that time of year, but it's a good "green" way to go by not creating any more waste.

There were mentions that the donations *might* be tax deductible in some way. Does anyone know if that would be case in this situation?

When we did the donation to the Humane Society for our Vet's Christmas gift, we got the tax receipt - not sure how it works in the US.
