Get Him/Her a SHEEP, PIG, COW or a GOAT for Valentine's Day

Thursday, January 29, 2009 by Craig Zamary

Want to surprise that special someone with a very unique gift for Valentine's Day? Well, this suggestion might not get your lover enticed, but I am sure it will make for a memorable gift idea and be very original. My wife and kid's get me a goat, sheep, cow, pig, flock of chicks, etc. for my birthdays, holidays, etc. as opposed to getting me things I probably do not really need.


Well, there's an organization called Heifer International and their approach is about building sustainable communities.  Their mission is about ending world hunger and poverty and caring for the earth. 

Here's how it works: You go to their site, http://www.heifer.org/ and you can choose a meaningful gift to give a loved one and help children and families around the world receive training and animal gifts that help them become self-reliant.

You can click any of the gift animals and find out how your gift will provide families with resources they need.

After your donation, you can send a printable gift card or e-card to tell your friends and family that you’ve honored them with a Heifer gift.

Talk about companies going green, well these guys are really cool and they are helping people around the world who are starving. My advice, FORGET the Chocolate, and get him/her a goat!

If you or anyone in your community is doing anything to be green, capture it on video and upload it to us at http://www.greenenergytv.com/Upload.aspx  Show your Green Self - Stay Green!

I never heard of this organization. Thanks for the insight! I will get this for my wife, and maybe we can start doing this for our holidays too. I agree, I don't this is going to get me laid, but it might help get me to heaven!

This is a great organization! We have been giving gifts to our family and friends from them for over two years.

This is wonderful, what a good suggestion and talk about sustainable businesses, this one should get many awards for their efforts. I am glad you guys covered them, this is what is missing from our depressing media like CNN, NBC news, Fox and the other tv networks. They tell stories about all the negative stuff, but this is a very newsworthy business! Thanks for sharing. Richard
