Absolutely love this idea, thanks OP. Not Christmas related but there are many Palestinian artists who I'm keen to support. I'll come back later with some names.

MAP - Medical Aid for Palestinians - is an excellent charity.

Thank you for suggesting, here is a link to the website for anyone who wants to donate https://www.map.org.uk/

@MaatSeshat Good point! Donations always a good idea in situations like this.

I did see some local Palestinian goods in my local healthfood shop (Zaytoun) and bought some the other day, so people may be able to get them locally if they can't get them online, if not all sold out yet.
