THE PERFECT PREZZIE FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS EVERYTHING

lellie

this is a really good idea..

my fave band Feeder had a forest started as a way of making their last album carbon neutral.. fans could buy a tree in the forest and get a certificate and stuff..

other bands should do that.. or perhaps we could start a money saving expert one? hehe..

Oh no - I've spent too much!! Not very money-saving.

I've bought a 'train a health worker' for just £6 and this is my card to all at work (last year we put a quid in local hospice collection tin instead of buying cards).

The £5/6/7 gifts are ideal for relatives off my children. They usually buy chocolate so this is much healthier!

Just reminding everyone re this fantastic idea of Martin's let's keep the gifts coming in for these deserving people and make their lives a little better and give a great unusual gift to someone you love too  :)

Not sure how charity friendly this part is but if you adopt an WWF animal via Rpoints you earn points back.

Not sure how charity friendly this part is but if you adopt an WWF animal via Rpoints you earn points back.  

It's not as beneficial to WWF (and your 'adopted' animal) as an affiliate fee goes to Rpoints and to an advertising network.  If you want the maximum money to go to wwf, go direct.

Another Xmas gift idea is a gift providing food and assistance in the education of one child for a year:

a charity gift idea to give to a child - adopt a tiger from care for the wild and they send you a t-shirt (good quality too!) as well as a certificate and they also send a letter after 6 months telling you how your animal is doing. we've been adopting jasper the tiger every year and we love getting the letter halfway through the year telling us about his playmate tamara and how they love swimming :-)

i got the oxfam unwrapped catalogue today and will definitely be buying a few goats this year - they send you a card saying 'i've bought you a goat for christmas' - children will find it amusing to give the card to granny and see her face when she thinks you've actually bought her a goat lol!

my kids are also giving nanny a goat!!!

Another tree site. I got my lil sister (I say lil... she's 17, but she'll always be 11 years younger than me!! ;D ) a tree for her birthday I think and she loved it.
