Gifts

We strongly, strongly request that you consider an alternative to sending a gift. Strongly. You might instead, say, make a charitable contribution. Some of our favorite recipients (we don't yet know the baby's favorites) are:

The American Civil Liberties Union, defender of American freedoms.
Amnesty International, opposing torture worldwide.
Planned Parenthood, supporting women's reproductive rights.
NRDC, the Earth's best defense.

Alternatively, give a gift to yourself! We really like this alternative to many gifting situations. Here's how it works: With the money you were going to spend, get something for yourself—something delightful that you couldn't otherwise justify buying. Then write us a thank-you note and tell us how much you enjoyed your new gift. See how nicely everything works out?
