Each day from November until the Boxing Day sales begin we will be bombarded with Christmas gift ideas – Kindles, clothes, iPhones, iPads, CDs, Lion King DVDs (and Blue Rays), Call of Duty games, celebrity books by celebrity cooks, box of chocs, socks, Sat Navs, other 'must haves', and partridges in pear trees. Charity Christmas gifts are good ways of reminding the person who has everything that to some people the gift of a goat, water or drought resistant crops could be the difference between life and death.
The charity gift site UK Charity Gifts claims that they have seen: " a major increase in the alternative charity gift market, as more people take control of how their money is spent and where it is going." This particular site is a good one to get started. It features developing world charities such as Oxfam, World Vision, Save the Children, CAFOD and Farm Africa and provides links to their sites. Below are a few alternative gift ideas on offer this year.
