Thinking of doing a Secret Santa this year? Elfster can organize it all for you! With the help of Elfster, you can set up as many gift exchanges as you want and invite whomever you want. By taking advantage of the simple wishlist feature, each person can create his/her own wishlist. You can also suggest a wish to someone else or access the shop to find some ideas. In general, Elfster is very customizable; you can assign a party location, set a spending limit, choose a gift category, classify your group, name your exchange, give extra information, etc. After you set it up, Elfster will choose partners on a "draw date," and, if you'd like, you can also set limits for the drawing (e.g. A cannot draw B or C). It seems like a nice way to set up a Secret Santa, whether it's for family, friends, penpals, or a random group. Enjoy this holiday season; it's the season of giving :)

TheBreastCancerSite.com includes sections for hunger, breast cancer, child health, literacy, rainforest, and animal rescue. There are several ways to give through this site; you can purchase items for yourself or others, you can make a donation toward a good cause, or you can simply click daily, and sponsors' money will go toward the cause for you. This site provides really simple ways to make a difference.
As you probably know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. To acknowledge this, I will be donating 20% of sales from my mark. store to the American Cancer Society. Additionally, from October 1 until October 12, 100% of profits from the mark. Sophistique Eau de Toilette Spray will be donated to the American Cancer Society (and you'll be entered into a contest, which you can read about on one of my other posts).
If you -- or someone you know -- would like more information about specials like this, just give me an email and I'll send my monthly newsletter for mark. to that address. As always, you can contact me at acadia@paris.com with feedback, suggestions, comments, questions, etc.
If you like the idea of buying and giving at the same time, but you're not interested in mark. products, I also have some awareness products that are available at cafepress.com/acadiaDesigns, as well as a catalog of DOVE Chocolate Discoveries items (see previous post). A portion of sales from all of the products listed will be donated to the American Cancer Society in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
For every awareness item purchased at acadiaDesigns, $3 will be donated to support research in the appropriate area. Right now, items are available to support AIDS, breast cancer, and melanoma awareness. Feel free to leave feedback, suggestions, etc. Thanks!
