One charity gift that is proving a huge hit is to give or buy someone an acre of rainforest. Green gifts are getting more and more popular, and saving an acre of rainforest is a creative and worthwhile present that will benefit the planet as well as the person you give it to. You can buy, and so save, an acre of rainforest quickly and easily online through the World Land Trust.
