Give Gifts

Give cash, not gift cards.

Cash, checks, Venmo are all fine.

Festive wrapping and presentation is encouraged!

Receive Gifts

You must spend the money you receive on gifts for yourself.

Money can be combined with other funds.

You can get a single large gift or several small gifts.

Reveal Gifts
When Christmas arrives, reveal what you chose!

Keep the fun and anticipation of Christmas morning gift reveals.

Reduce the exposures that come with shopping, returning, and exchanging in stores.

Give people the joyful opportunity to spend some “fun money” on themselves.

Reduce waste.

Learn new things about family and friends through the gifts they choose for themselves.

Avoid the stress of sold-out items and shipping delays.

Splurge on things you love during seasonal sales.

Decrease the time spent on busywork during the holiday season.

Increase the time available for rest, meaningful activities, and helping others.

Early November

Prepare and mail the cash gifts to people on your gift list.

Thanksgiving Day - or earlier

Open the cash gifts you receive, keeping the cash value private.

Black Friday - or earlier - through Christmas Eve

Enjoy the season

Do whatever feeds your soul. Watch Christmas movies or sports highlight reels, make gingerbread houses, support your favorite charity, dive into your sacred texts, play card games, read a book, go for long walks, sit silently and watch the snow fall.

 Shop

Use the money you received to purchase gifts for yourself.

You can get whatever you want!  But you have to spend the cash you receive!

 …and…

Keep your purchases secret!

Christmas

Surprise us!  We can’t wait to see what gifts you chose!
