To buy my MIL a goat for Christmas?

My MIL, DM reader, will probably vote BNP "because they talk sense about immigration"- is not my favourite person, for reasons too numerous to go into.
For Xmas, dh normally gives her either a M & S voucher for about £50 or a bottle of Chanel.
I am tempted to suggest we buy her a goat, or some other Oxfam-inspired charitable gift.
Is that very very bad of me?

Oxfam goat is £25 for one or £50 for a pair.

Actually, having considered this - count me in for the group discount on goats for old goats MILSs.

My MIL is rather particular about her Christmas presents. She has been known to throw DH's christmas present (something very innocous) back at him because it wasn't good enough. Would love to see her try and throw a virtual goat.
