Are you struggling to find that perfect gift for your Dad this Father’s Day? Then look no further than Concern’s brilliant Gifts website. We’ve got a range of fun and quirky presents for every taste and budget and each one makes a truly lasting difference to the poorest of the poor.

A devastating food crisis is unfolding in the west African country of Niger which is the poorest, least developed country on earth. 50% of the country’s 15million people are now vulnerable to food shortages caused by the failed rains and widespread crop failures of 2009.

We’re urging people to give to the Mental Health Foundation, who raise awareness of mental health issues and carry out an astonishing amount of work in the UK.

It’s gratifying to know that you can actually make a difference to someone’s life, and with this practical present (a donkey), you can help farmers bring in the crops they need to survive. Donkeys are great things, actually. Far from the depressed ones at Blackpool, they’re real hard workers. I saw some on the Ile de Re bringing in the salt and they were all wearing trousers. Google it. In the meantime, join Practical Presents and get someone a gift that matters.

Practical Presents is full of great gifts that really do mean something. So instead of wasting your money on consumer rubbish this xmas, get something that someone will really appreciate.
