Our new family Christmas tradition is to pick names at Thanksgiving. It’s easier said than done with families of six, five and four. We have to make sure that no one in the same family picks another member. To make things a little trickier, we also pick a letter, and everyone has to buy something that begins with that letter. It encourages creativity and adds some fun.
This year is brought to you by the letter:
I am trying to think of some interesting G presents, and have taken to searching my blog for some ideas.
How about this elegant garbage can?
What about some green Jasperware from Wedgwood?
Some gloves? 
What about some gilded goodies?
Let’s have your suggestions of gifts that begin with G!
Giraffes! Garter belts! Greenery! Gumdrops! Gin! Guitars! Gelatto! Guestbooks!

Something green, environmentally-speaking? Or speaking of green, there's always cash (though not very imaginative), or an Amex gift card....
