Does anyone know how I can get a copy of that. It was on the old boards, but I haven't seen it here. Thanks

was it this? onelessgift.org I could not get to the site today. But here is what was on the voucher:

I appreciate your generous spirit, but just wanted to let you know that I have
all the things I could possibly want.
This year, I’d like to try something special: a stuff-free holiday.
Therefore, I’m issuing you this “One Less Gift” Certificate.
Instead of exchanging presents, let’s find other ways to enjoy this wonderful
season together.
We’ll each have one less gift to worry about, and save a little time, money,
and stress – not to mention our planet’s resources. Memories last much
longer than any material things!

Good reminder! Now is the time to send out these emails and notes requesting people to limit/end gift exchanges. I wrote a template letter a few years back. I'll have to see if I can find it and re-post.

I am always on board for discussions about opting out of gift exchanges. And I agree that now is a good time. So far removed from the mayhem of gift buying season, people are less like to react to your request/suggestion with strong emotion.
