I hope this is OK to post this here (if not--SORRY!!) but I had a great idea for a "Secret Sister" gift.......how about a small donation to that Sister's favorite charity--maybe $5.00??? Many places will send a nice card to the "donor-(i.e.--your Sister) thanking them for the gift...

For example---my hubby is a firefighter and a police officer---I would be thrilled if someone made a SMALL donation to their local volunteer fire department or to a local D.A.R.E. program in my name...

some others...

breast cancer awareness or any medical/disease related charity

local humane society or "no kill" shelter

Shriner's Burn Units--when my Mom passed away, my hubby's fire department sent a donation in Mom's name to the nearest Shrine's Hospital for burned children----what a thoughtful idea--I was soooo touched. I received a very nice card giving their condolences for my loss but thank you for the donation....

local homeless or women's shelters etc.

many areas have "bike runs" for charity--sponsor a rider

A donation to FamilyCorner!!

This is just a few that I could come up with--I know there are "zillions" out there....maybe others could post there ideas too.....

If I made a donation for my Sister--I would send her a nice card stating that I made a donation in her name to such & such place to let her know.....

this is a great idea, but ladies if you do this, please send a note to your secret sister that you done this, as it may take so long for them to get in touch with her that they don't remember which secret sister did it or don't get the information that you did it and they are thinking they have not received from you thier secret sister. so PLEASE make sure she knows you did...

Thank You.
