Ethical and alternative gifts may never be the same after UNICEF [2], Oxfam [3], World Vision [4] and Christian Aid [5], launched schemes to send goats, chickens, donkeys, sheep, camels and assorted other livestock to Africa on behalf of loved ones as charity gifts.
These charity gifts make great presents for birthdays, weddings, valentines day as well as Christmas with over a hundred different charity gift ideas between them. (Click here to visit the UNICEF [6] charity gifts collection or here for the World Vision charity gifts collection [7] or here for Christian Aid gifts [8]).
It is very quick and easy to send your charity gifts. All you do is visit the web site, choose a charity gift online, and then choose a card with a personal message to send to your loved one on whose behalf the charity gift is being sent.
