- My fiancé wrote me a song, recorded it and put a montage of pictures of us to it! (You can see it for yourself here.) —Vera Hadzi-Anitch, Web Producer

- I'm painting a portrait of my family. —Sparky Jo, Facebook post
- I am giving my nieces and nephew Kiva gift cards so they can have the opportunity to give to others. With these cards they can loan the money to a woman in Argentina to buy a sewing machine, and if they make a good investment, she'll pay them back and they can withdraw the money from the Kiva account. —Jaclyn Valero, Web Producer
- Cookbooks for my foodie friends. —Mandy Higgins, Facebook post
