A friend of mine just got married and had Heifer International on her registry as well as another charity. As it turns out, most people bought them things, but a group of us did give a donation to HI (or as we say, we bought them a goat). When they were opening presents the next day and opened the card with the donation info in it, everyone was impressed and surprised – they hadn’t even seriously thought of donating, but thought it was a very cool thing.

This is a fantastic idea. My husband and I are planning on putting “donations to Heifer International” (our favorite charity) on our Christmas list year. Or just gifts for the baby (she needs more of the next size clothes). We have a very small house with too much stuff already, so we would rather support a charity that needs it rather than try to find room for more stuff we don’t need!
