It's nearly that time of year again. For the last few years I have been giving "planting trees" or "polar bear blood tests" presents from charities for relatives that live far away. I was wondering what people feel about giving such gifts, how do you feel if you are a recipient? Does it feel like you haven't been given a proper present if you get a card with a message inside saying you have donated trees to Africa.....and what about those goats? I haven't given these as am not sure about whether they are a good idea at all.
