Refuge gift list (John Lewis)

[JackThePumpkinKing]

Seems like a good idea to me!

"Every year, Refuge try to ensure that every woman and child in their refuges receive a minimum of two to three presents each to unwrap on Christmas day. As Refuge say, 'The Christmas gift initiative is vital to ensure that refuges became places of joy on a day that has the potential to very bleak and hard.'
The charity have a gift list at John Lewis for the appeal so it could not be simpler. You can go as small as a counting block for £2.99, to as big as a pair of roller blades for £40. Whatever you pick, you will know that there?s a child in a refuge somewhere who will have a present to open on Christmas morning ? thanks to you.
Surely, this is the best reason to start your Christmas shopping early this year?
Go to Johnlewisgiftlist.com and enter list number 522953. (The gift list has to close on 6th December 2012 so that there is time to get the presents to each of the Refuges)

I wonder if anybody has sent them a link to this thread :)

Yes but that is where is could all fall down serin - that would be the obvious scenario, but once it is wrapped, gifts delivered in bag to refuge labelled boy 5+, you can see how it could happen (and it would be crap).....

much better to have have stand alone gifts

ha colditz me too!!!

It is a shame there is no information about the gift list owner.

Some really cool items on that list. Ipod speakers, rollerblades, digital cameras, Nike gloves, etc.

Quint - here's some more information

Jack, I know The Refuge, my mate worked for them for years. It is a shame there is no information on the Gift List what or who it is for!

Fair enough. Your message just made me think that some people might be suspicious of the original link, so thought I'd link direct :)

Brilliant idea! Have reposted the JL link on my FB

Done! What an absolutely lovely idea.
