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.
