The Gift of Giving

Many of us spend a fortune on gifts at Christmas but ignore one of the most simple and effective ways to renew the true spirit of the festive season – to give without expecting anything in return.

With a little imagination you can come up with a positive way to brighten someone else’s day – either family, friends or a complete stranger. Be inventive, be creative & be kind without wanting or expecting anything in return, except maybe a smile.

Five Gifts of Giving:

1. Donate your time to a soup kitchen, homeless shelter or nursing home.

2. Purchase a gift for a local charity (all major department stores offer these at Christmas)

3. Sponsor a child

4. Become a blood donor

5. Make or bake a gift!
