		<description><![CDATA[<p>I first heard about <a title="Investigate Matter of Trust!" href="http://www.matteroftrust.org/" target="_blank">Matter of Trust</a> on <a title="Investigate NPR's story on Matter of Trust!" href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=126536482&#38;sc=fb&#38;cc=fp" target="_blank">NPR</a>.  Then a neighbor also shared the story of the hair booms with me as well and I thought it worth sharing here.  Just because you are one person doesn&#8217;t mean that you can&#8217;t help with the oil spill.  Your donations of hair and especially nylons will help Matter of Trust make hair booms that will help soak up oil from the recent spill.  Your donation is a gift and <a title="Evidence:  How you can help recover from the oil spill." href="http://www.matteroftrust.org/" target="_blank">you can find out more here</a>.</p>
<p>Happy gifting! </p>

<p>Items like the <a title="ocean vials" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29184554" target="_blank">ocean vials</a> would make a lovely gift to a beach lover (As a housewarming gift, perhaps? You could frame the photo of the beach that the glass is collected at so that they have some art for their new home &#8211; two gifts in one!).  The <a title="earrings" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5226921&#38;section_id=5209090" target="_blank">earrings</a> and <a title="pendants" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5226921&#38;section_id=5219822" target="_blank">pendants</a> are just right for the woman in your life &#8211; be it your wife, mother or sister &#8211; this is the type of woman who wears the simplistic beauty of jewelry like these well.  Look at the women you are close <i> <a href="http://www.thegiftdetective.com/blog/archives/2046">...read more</a></i>]]></description>

<p>There is more in the shop that might make the perfect gift so take a good look and perhaps find a wonderful present for someone in your life.</p>
<p>Happy gifting!</p>
