Gift wish list (£2.99 items) for kids who won't get a gift

vikki_louise

Hi, I've been asking my friends if they would be willing to order a £2.99 bubble wand from a John lewis gift list for a child who without the gift list wouldn't receive a present this Christmas,

It's organised by Kids Company (fantastic charity and although a charity I thought this post was more suited to this board) who do a big party on Christmas Day and give children a gift (plus lunch and food to go home with) after finding suicide attempts in the children they help shot up approaching Christmas as kids were scared of being alone at Christmas

Could you help? I'm focusing on finding people to send the bubble wands but there are other items for a range of ages from baby blankets to toy cars to DVDs. Details

How we can have children in our country in this day and age suffering so much is beyond me

Just sent mine. Good luck


Just a thought, maybe include a link to the charity in your opening post so people can see its genuine - I googled it just to double check

That's such a nice idea. I love bubbles too so got a couple of wands. Hopefully they'll reach their target.

Just bought some bubbles & a little Peppa Pig toy It's a great idea to use a wishlist to send gifts to those who need them most xx

I couldn't see any bubble wands so I have ordered some paints that didn't seem to be getting much attention lol, I hope that all the gifts get bought for the children. We have a similar thing where I live its called the giving tree, I have also given some presents to this too.
