Reposting - Recession Proof Gifts Guide
Back in April of this year I posted about a series of gift guides and features we would be posting called, "The Recession Proof Gifts Guide". You better believe we are right on track with tons of articles starting this week on this pressing subject.
As things have taken a dramatic turn it's important that people not panic or even make drastic decisions such as there will be no holidays this year!. Instead when things get tough it's important to get planning. Even though the holidays are many weeks away, now is the time to make crucial decisions and start acting on formulated plans.
Let's bring the focus back on reconnecting with loved ones, being thankful, giving back and spreading good cheer. All classic spirits of the holidays which, in many cases, require no money to be spent. All thoughout the coming weeks GaveThat.com will show you how to do just that and more.

After seeing The Complete Tightwad Gazette book on our Mother's Day special (25 Books Your Mom Secretly Wants) post it's clear that the US's current recession, exploding gas prices and rising food costs (see Sam's Clubs / Walmarts limits on buying rice) have fully taken over peoples minds. Has green taken a back seat? Major media doesn't think so and continues to focus on this latest trend. Americans on the other hand are talking about other things including ways to cut back even more. What many don't realise is trimming the fat and being green can go hand in hand. Such as growing a garden and eating healthier while helping to cut down on the need for food to be trucked in. Riding a bicycle or walking instead of using a car. Giving gifts that are truly meaningful instead of buying many filler gifts in an attempt to awe.
