No more stuff

You want to give a little something as a holiday gift. But either the person "has everything," or you feel bad about adding clutter and eventually garbage into a landfill.

Why not give a gift that has no stuff attached? One that is a gift of your time, thought, and consideration. Here are some examples from around the Web.

Grist has a big list that starts with buying carbon offsets and ends with organic beer. Hey, we can support those suggestions!

In between, Grist does suggest more modest gifts like I.O.U.s for babysitting or guitar lessons, give zoo memberships, and sign up with a community-supported agriculture farm.

Ideal Bite has some gift-certificate ideas that are more about giving experiences than junk. Massages and spa treatments, iTunes, and even Green Dimes' service to get off junk mail lists.
