The Season of Goodwill - Charitable Christmas Gifts

As the time of year when we all dig deep and treat our friends and family, I wanted to highlight some Christmas gift ideas that also help support charity, helping to spread goodwill further.

Christie's Charity Collection from the Kate Hamilton-Hunter Studio

Kate Hamilton-Hunter Studio has created a new charity collection in memory of Kate's neice, with 10% of the proceeds going to Meningitis UK. This gorgeous collection is aimed at teenage girls, although I can image these pieces being worn by us older girls too.

A Prayer for the Wild at Heart by Lucy Duckworth

For the animal lover there is a beautiful book, A Prayer for the Wilde at Heart by Lucy Duckworth, featuring a series of photographs of animals with quotations, helping to raise money for SPANA - for working animals around the world.


There are a host of Christmas gift ideas which will make you feel good, knowing you are helping others. Oxfam Unwrapped may not provide a physical present to give, but it will give that warm feeling that comes from knowing you've helped others. Choose from a goat, farmyard, teachers and other gifts that will help make a real difference to those that need it. If you'd prefer an actual gift to give, there's lots to choose from in the Oxfam shop too.

To help support of those who work with animals and work to preserve our heritage and landmarks, what about gifting a membership or adoption. A membership to a zoo or something like the National Trust will provide enjoyment year round. We have a Zoo membership and its more than paid for itself with our numerous visits to see the animals.

Also raising money for charity and helping make Christmas special for all:
The Lauren Currie Twilight Foundation
The Children's Trust selling Christmas Wishes
