My boyfriend's mum (kind of my MIL) bought me a chicken for my b-day. It's actually a chicken on my behalf for a family in Laos through Oxfam Unwrapped.
This is the coolest b-day present ever! I love that a family is getting a chicken that will give them eggs that they can eat or sell at the market.
I just went on the
Oxfam Unwrapped site and you can buy all kinds of gifts like a goat, buffalo, calf, donkey, seeds, vaccines, a well, seeds, and other cool stuff!
