    When you get to checkout it's asking if you've got any promotional codes ...thought it would be a bit tight to look for a discount code :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    The Scottish Wildlife Trust are doing a promotion on their 'adopt a puffin campaign', there is a promotional code for £5 off the adoption which takes it from £15 to £10, quite a cool gift, I got a couple for younger family members - although not quite as cool as a goat :rotfl:

    I think these are fantastic gift ideas and always try to include a few every year for different people. I tend to buy from cows 'n' things though to support the elderly overseas. Not everyone has appreciated the idea though which is quite sad but hey ho it doesn't stop me giving them:D

    I requested one of these off the kids a couple of years ago-didn't particularly "need" any more makeup/shoes/bags/chocolate etc.They chose the goat. The kids had great fun telling people they got me a goat for Christmas ! x

    Well, the "kids" would choose a goat :rotfl:
