Must Have Gifts : The Charity Gift Catalogue

So do you remember the wedding last year where, I don’t know, Bob and Sue, or whatever their names were, you didn’t really know them all that well, they gave you a wedding list of things that you would never, ever dream of getting yourself, but it’s oh so practical because hey – these are things they really do want – especially that Denby gravy boat – and it’s best if they have a list because that way they don’t get two Denby gravy boats – yes, you remember that wedding?

Christ, I do.

I haven’t spoken to them since. And neither have they spoken to me. That leads me nicely onto something I should have done – and maybe they still wouldn’t have spoken to me, but I would have felt a little better about myself having wasted all that money on a stupid Denby gravy boat.

Worldvision’s “Must Have Gifts” catalogue is chock full of charity gifts that you can give as wedding gifts, or even birthday gifts.

And now you can see why I used the analogy, yes?

You can select from a range of wedding gifts of all prices – that will all have uses in parts of the world where there really is no need for a Denby gravy boat. Or gravy.

World Vision is one of the world’s leading relief and development agencies. Right now, around the world, they are working with more than 100 million people in nearly 100 countries in their struggle against poverty, hunger and injustice, irrespective of their religious beliefs.

Worldwide, they employ over 20,000 people and well over 90% of their staff work from their own home country.

In the UK, World Vision is one of the members of the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC). They are also a member of British Overseas NGO’s for Development (BOND) and a member of the Consortium for Street Children (CSC).

World Vision works in three main areas:

Emergency relief
Long term development
Advocacy

So – you can help. Just by providing one gift, you can give someone out there a helping hand. It’s not much. And it will cost you less than a Denby gravy boat. And if Bob and Sue don’t like it, then don’t speak to them, because they probably weren’t worth talking to in the first place. Make a difference to people who really need it.

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.

We here at Give To Charity love the Practical Presents website. It’s full of gift ideas that actually make a difference.

For example, visiting the website, you’ll see a great idea in action – a floating garden which helps the people of Bangladesh grow the vegetable gardens that they need to survive, without their food being washed away by the incessant floods.

You could alternatively help out with the flooding by providing fish cages for just £26. So there you go – Practical Presents, full of charity gift ideas.
