You haven't finished your holiday shopping, have you? It is ok. You certainly aren't alone. This week we are going to bring you some quality gift ideas that aren't going to seem last minute in the least. Trickery! It is the name of the game, people.

First up, Kiva gift certificates. Kiva is a 'person to person micro lending website'. When you purchase a gift certificate ('gifts' start at $25), the recipient of the certificate logs on, reads about entrepreneurs around the world and then decides which person will receive the loan. Progress and updates can be tracked on line, through out the life of the loan and then, after repayment, the money can be re-loaned! It really is the gift that keeps on giving. Get 'em here.
