Is it just me or has this year flown by? It seems only yesterday that we celebrated the end of 2007 and rang in the new year. Now, it's back again and here I am once more, racking my brains to find out what to get for all the special people on my list.

You have probably found yourselves in the same boat which is why I wanted to take this opportunity to suggest some fantastic gift ideas the AVN and Living Wisdom would like to share with you. And with prices ranging from as low as $5, you can spread good cheer and informed choice amongst all your friends and family no matter what your holiday budget is.

Don't really celebrate Christmas / Channukah / Ramadan or Kwanza? No problem! If you know of someone who is looking into the subjects of health, parenting and the environment or if you have a friend or family member who are having a baby in the near future, we have the perfect gifts to help them get the best possible start.

Please have a quick look at the list of books and booklets below and remember that a gift subscription to Living Wisdom or a membership to the Australian Vaccination Network is perfect anytime - anywhere.

May the rest of 2008 be fabulous for all of us!

Yours in health,
Meryl 

 

Baby Gift Packs
These gift packs are the perfect Christmas present for friends and family members with young children or those considering starting a family.

Each pack includes a one-year membership to the Australian Vaccination Network, ensuring that the recipient will be kept up to date with all the latest news, information and studies on vaccination. They will also be entitled to the 10% members' discount on any other purchases they make from the AVN throughout the term of their membership - great value for only $22!

All packs also include the very easy to read and informative booklet, Investigate Before your Vaccinate. This booklet is the perfect way to introduce people to the questions surrounding vaccination and may make them aware of the need to investigate this procedure a little futher before subjecting themselves and their children to routine vaccination.

All packs include our own book, Vaccination Roulette, which is a very comprehensive 324-page publication put together by the Australian Vaccination Network. This book is a fantastic resource with an emphasis on scientific data and cites many peer-reviewed studies conducted on this subject. It also includes parent's stories and information on natural alternatives to vaccination and drug-based therapies.

There are three 'flavours' of gift packs - Basic for those just starting to look at this issues and Core and Deluxe Baby Packs for those who want to look at little bit deeper. Please see the complete details below. All three packs represent great value as you can see!
