Need an extra special meaningful gift this Valentine's Day that won't make your loved one gain weight or end up in the compost heap? Gifts Of Hope from Plan International or Honeybees from Oxfam America has you covered -- you can give the gift of buzzing bees. It not only launches a livelihood and income for families in need to help pay for housing, health care and food, it's also helping local crops thrive. This gift comes with a hive, honeybees, training and all of the essentials for pollinating a buzzing family business. Now, you don't actually gift the bees to your honey, but give the gift to a family in need. Throw in a jar of honey though, and you have a terrific gift that actually means something! Can't get sweeter than that! Does this sound like a unique gift?
Yes, way better than flowers or chocolate!
