acme birthdays - making your mark


so each child i know is living in abundance. when the calendar falls on their special day, yes, it's great to get them a gift, but we all know they don't NEED one. here's a real gift - show them that they can make a difference. log onto MARKMAKERS and choose the amount you'd like to spend. an automatic email will be sent to the birthday child or their parents letting them know they have a "gift card" there. that child can log on to the kid-friendly website and shop. they can choose to donate that money toward any cause they like; rainforest, animal rescue, books, food, medicine, the list goes on.

the lesson: our kids (and most adults) don't quite yet understand that they can make a difference. we must let our children know that they possess the power to make things better.

***added bonus, no need for gift wrap or scotch tape.
