Gift Ideas That Do Good

The recent PR announcement that Oxfam have persuaded may of the musicians and artists at 2009 Glastonbury Festival to pain their faces blue as a gesture of support for their work to help suffering around the world caused by global warming made us think twice about writing another post about gift ideas for summer. We have tried to offer a variety of suggestions for gifts to send to friends and family or even simply to treat yourself see christmas gifts and gift experiences. We are proud of these gift suggestions but they pale in comparison to these funky gift ideas to give charity gifts to help thoese in need around the world.

Top of the best sellers chart is currently a billy goat. The gift of a goat or goats to poor communities provides milk for much needed nutrition and in interesting by product from the goat is droppings which feed the land for crops to yeild better. Giving a goat is a splendid gesture - you buy it, someone whe really appreciates it recieves it and if you wish you can send a card to someone for whose behalf you bought it.

You don't have to specify that your gift is a specific product - you can always tick the box which authorises the charity to direct the money to where it considers it is needed most.
