Need something unique for that special someone?
Consider supporting New Orleans! Some ideas:
The “Save Nola” organization has a little shop where you can purchase gear — 100% of proceeds go to rebuilding efforts.
Basin Street Records is a NOLA-based label representing 9 local musicians (all great: these include some of our favorites in the city). Office, staff, and homes were destroyed, so anything you buy from them helps. Also, the Putumayo “New Orleans” CD ($15 on the BSR website) is donating 100% of the revenue from this CD to New Orleans’ musicians causes such as the New Orleans Musicians Clinic. (And if you order 2 CDs from BSR, you get a free compilation CD and free shipping.)
Treats are a staple of New Orleans! Send your loved ones goodies from Cafe du Monde or fresh pralines from Aunt Sally’s! Keep our treasures open for sweet business!
And finally, you can reach out to your cuddly side and adopt an animal, visit the marketplace, or gift a membership to Audubon Institute (includes Zoo and Aquarium).

Of course, the only way to really experience a beignet is sitting in Cafe du Monde.
Road trip???????
