Halloween is barely over, and up go the holiday decorations. Babe finds this très tacky, but it does get her thinking about what she wants to give, and of course, receive, this Christmas. Rather than braving the throngs of tourists at Macy's, she intends to buy all of her gifts online. There is no better site to get one-of-a-kind, handmade gifts than Etsy, where proceeds from select products are donated to a different animal charity each month. In November, the recipient is the Los Angeles SPCA's Disaster Animal Response Team, which has been tending to four-legged victims of the fires. Babe has her eye on this little pink flamingo tee, a nod to her Florida roots...it's for children ages 6-8, but she could squeeze into that, right? Check etsyforanimals.com for availability.
