How nice is that! I guess there will be plenty of advertisements for this sort of thing, trouble with ads is, they have to be paid for! I will let you know if I see anything, the company I work for do similar, they offer a free gas appliance service for the needy, (mostly pensioners).

Asda usually have a tree in the foyer and you pick a ticket off it for a specific age of child so you know what you're looking for.

its my way of making sure that a child less fortunate than my lad gets something nice and my lad remembers why we celebrate christmas. maybe asda gives them to santa and santa gives them to jesus... because they are friends.....

That's a really nice thought. If I hear of anywhere I'll let you know.

Sorry Em misread your reasons for getting the present to Jesus. It is a lovely thought that keeps the true meaning of Christmas alive for your son:)

Hiya

I am involved with sponsoring a little girl called Davy in Cambodia and i know that people can send gifts to the orphans over there. They are a registered charity (they were featured in Take a Break magazine 22/11) and I would be happy to pass things on to the orphanage?

Em as you go into Asda there is a tree with cards on. Written on is the childs age and name so you can choose a suitable gift which you can leave at Customer Services with card attached.
