Giving Guide
A Note From Our President
Dear Friend,
The holidays always have a gladiatorial edge: You're fighting hand-to-hand against Tight Budgets, the Ghosts of Gifts Past, and worst of all, the reigning champ, Failure of Imagination. We all want to find those elusive gifts that double as declarations of love and ingenuity, but more often we just crawl away with our egos between our legs.
Each November, our holiday Giving Guide offers an alternative to mall fatigue. Here are unique and affordable products that don't need gift receipts. Even better, you'll spread the joy around, because supporting our sponsors means supporting nonprofit Mother Jones all year long.
So go ahead, enter the holiday shopping ring. We're in your corner.
Happy holidays,
Madeleine Buckingham
President and CEO, Mother Jones
