    I have ordered one, for my 4 year old son.

    As someone who has a heart condition, I can't believe that people are ordering them for xmas presents and party bags - what a waste of the resources of the BHF!!

    They're educational, they want kids to have them, what does it matter if someone gives them via a party bag? How is it a waste of resources if they're being given to kids as they're intended, or am I missing something here?

    Because they expect you to make a donation, they aren't 'free' as such.

    I don't suppose anyone who had run a marathon and raised lots of money for the charities would be dead chuffed that it hadn't saved a life but in fact paid for some kids' stocking fillers.

    They dont expect you to make a donation, they 'recommend a £20 donation for multiple orders of 100 or more', yes it would be nice if everyone donated a couple of quid for lesser amounts, but they are offering them for free, to raise awareness, which is what all charities partly spend their donated money on.
    I agree that saving them for christmas presents doesn't seem right, but party bags I can't see anything wrong with.

    btw - I asked for 30 for a friends primary school class, but only got sent 1 anyway, so perhaps they are limiting for those who haven't donated.
    I'm gonna ask again, but include a donation this time.

    I've ordered one for my 3-year old niece. She's been going through cancer treatment and is literally eating nothing (currently fed by tube). This might be just the thing to start her on food again (she loves stickers!).

    So thank you for posting!
    C'est le ton qui fait la chanson
  • use the stickers to cover up the address on all those freepost envelopes charities keep sending begging for donations , then you can re-use the envelopes for more important things like sending for free Sun Life pens
