(NAPSI)-This holiday season, shoppers can find one-of-a-kind gifts that "give back" to people in need without fighting the crowds at the mall or clicking through hundreds of Web sites. Even better, these unique finds-from handwoven olive branch wreaths to framed shares of stock-fit all sizes and personalities and don't require batteries or assembly!

Gift givers can join Lindsay® Olives' annual holiday tradition by giving a gift of peace-a handmade wreath of olive branches that can hang on the front door as a welcome to friends and family or festively decorate a dining table. For the fourth consecutive year, all profits from the wreath sales go to America's Second Harvest, the nation's largest hunger-relief organization.

Lindsay Olives has created a wreath that offers a new twist on the traditional round shape. Fresh, green olive branches, universally recognized as a symbol of peace, are handwoven to create a 16- by 18-inch wreath that can be hung or displayed horizontally or vertically. A six-foot length of gold ribbon accompanies the wreath and can be used to hang it or be tied to it to add a creative personal touch.

The Lindsay Olive Holiday Wreath is available exclusively at www.lindsayolives.com or by calling 800-801-1469. The wreath is $50, plus shipping. Orders will be accepted until December 15 and will be delivered through December 22, 2005. A colorful gift card is enclosed with each wreath.

America's Second Harvest- The Nation's Food Bank Network is the nation's largest charitable hunger-relief organization with a Network of more than 200 regional member food banks and food-rescue programs serving all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. For more on America's Second Harvest, please visit www.secondharvest.org.

OneShare offers holiday shoppers a fun, new gift idea-one share of real stock in 130 of America's publicly traded companies, personalized with a message on an engraved plaque and framed to last. Stock certificates are beautiful works of art, often etched with symbols of the company's services, products, characters and history. In keeping with OneShare's belief in the power of small investments, the company will donate one percent (approximately $1) of each stock sold through December 31, 2005 to benefit Women for Women International. Founded in 1993, Women for Women International helps women in war-torn regions rebuild their lives by giving them financial and emotional support, vocational training, rights awareness, education and access to capital for business development.

New parents or first-time grandparents can celebrate a child's first Christmas with a first share of Disney stock. If golf is Dad's sport, consider one share of Callaway Golf. Tell Mom she's the sweetest with a share of Hershey. Whether the holiday gift list is filled with Martha Stewart groupies, Harley-Davidson aficionados, Tiffany & Co. blue box lovers, animation fans, train buffs or car nuts, OneShare is a gift that gives back and lasts a lifetime.

By going to www.oneshare.com, gift givers can purchase one share of stock for $39, plus the price of the stock as listed on the stock exchange, in less than three minutes. Frames range from a complementary hard-matte paper frame to wood or brushed metal frames priced from $34 to $75. In addition to framing the official stock certificate, gift givers can further personalize the gift with a special message on the frame's plaque.
