90’s FAMILY : The Gifts That Give Twice

Holiday gift-giving can be done with a lot of goodwill. Say you purchase the umbrella ($60) as a gift: 35% of that sale will wind up at the Pediatric AIDS Foundation. The fund-raiser is sponsored by Peoplefirst in conjunction with People magazine. Other gifts to choose from: a beautiful silk scarf ($85), silk tie ($65), and Zack T-shirts ($15) and sweat shirts ($25). The shirts, with sketches of a train, a cat or Zack’s favorite stuffed panda, Bumby, were drawn by Zachary Fried, who died of AIDS when he was 5. Phone (310) 395-9051 to order; call by Dec. 1 for holiday delivery.
