    thanks for the reminder...I meant to give them some dough last year.


    The "Flock of Chicks" sounded very enticing...guess I got the wrong idea!

    :D

    and you can include a card about the gift and everything in your card so they have something they can 'open'

    $120 for a sheep...

    I bet some people are getting ideas already...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    thanks for posting this! I was struggling with what to get my bosses since I am their baby's Nanny. I didn't want to get them a big goofy present, and I wanted it to mean something to them. So I just donated some ducks in their honor!

    This is an awesome gift. Makes me feel better about the holidays :)

    We were all set to do this last year but a little research showed that places like Oxfam tend to use a higher percentage of the gift for charity, as opposed to office overheads etc.

    Either way this makes a much better gift than some piece of junk.
