I love the idea of gifting museum memberships or subscriptions!
I also realized that I include on my personal online wishlist a request to donate to changingthepresent.org. How about a donation to your favorite historical non-profit in the gift receiver's name? [And I don't mean the Seinfeld "Human fund" kind of donation!]
That's a great idea! A donation to an ongoing community built heritage renovation project, would also be a great gift.
Great ideas, Krista.
The Manitoba Museum also has an "Adopt an Artifact" program, which is really neat. I also saw today that Pier 21 is selling commemorative ship images that you can personalize for anyone who may have immigrated to Canada.
Thanks for including my link! Love the Canadian History Magazine idea. Good luck with all your holiday shopping.
Very cool Joanna, I especially like the adopt an artifact idea.
