this will be as popular with kids as giving them a card that reads "In lieu of gift-giving this year, we decided to donate to XYZ charity in your name."

Don't laugh.

I got several gifts like that recently.

And they were donations to organizations I don't even like.

FWIT: I got one of those as a kid, and to make sure it never happened again, formed me own "Help a homeboy" out fund for myself saying "we be taking donations, no need to spare for somebody else".

Granted I was in grade school, but it worked.

my sister does that. basically, it's a way to not have to buy people anything while telling others how allegedly
charitable you are.kids love getting just what they would never ask for.
