Calling You Out for Help

This year, Parkcrest is going to be taking part in The Advent Conspiracy. We’re going to attempt to discover together what it looks like to approach Christmas in a more revolutionary way.

One of those ways is by intentionally spending less in order to give away more. But, I don’t want to leave people hanging without giving alternative suggestions for gift giving.

So, I’m looking for some ideas. Things that generally fit into one of 3 categories:

Give Your Presence
Presents that are more relationally geared. Experiences that you do together…presents that give your time to spend with a person.

Give From Your Talents
Creating gifts based on what you’re able to do and create on your own. DIY and homemade gifts would fit with this.

Give Gifts That Do More
Presents that when you buy them, you’re giving more than just that gift. Like TOMS Shoes

I’ve got a bunch of ideas started, but I know that there’s a ton more that you have that are probably better than most of mine. In fact, I know some of you do these kinds of things already every year. You’ve got a lot of stuff to share.

So, let’s hear what you’ve got…help us out!
