A Snappy Gift Idea
By Susan Taylor - Contributor

Looking for something different to give for Valentine’s Day, Easter, Mother’s or Father’s Day, or birthday?
   
Feel doubly good about giving when you send gingersnaps from Willow River Farms, a Houston residential home for developmentally disabled adults.
   
Spicy, crunchy “snaps” are packaged in tins topped with gilded paper ornaments made by Willow River Farms residents. Since everything from baking to wrapping and shipping is handled by volunteers, all profits go directly to projects of Willow River Farms.
   
The gingersnaps project is the brainchild of first mother Barbara Bush, who suggested that, in addition to selling fruitcakes, the organization develop a recipe for gingersnaps. Snaps are sold in large and small tins for $25 and $15 plus shipping. For details, check out the Web site at www.gingersnaps.org or call 1-800-939-3720 or 713-525-8468.
