OK!
I'm distressed reading about those of you who are worried sick about Christmas and having no money to buy things for your children!
Rather than sit of my ample backside and do nothing I have the following proposal to make.
Those of you who have old toys/gifts which are in good condition, or who are willing to buy a new gift for a child can register your contributions with me.
Those of you who are down on your uppers can send me your details - name, address, age and gender of children, what kind of things they like!
Those lovely MN who will send me Christmassy things will be matched up with those people who would like a bit of a hand with Christmas.
Those giving pressies will wrap the pressie and label it 'To XXX from Santa', and then send it to the address given to them.
If people receiving presents want to remain anonymous then I can ask people to send their contributions to me, and I will forward them onto the gift receiver, I will bear the postage cost of the onwards posting!
If people want to help, but have no toys etc to do so, then a small amount on a gift voucher for woolies, argos or the like can be sent instead!
Please post on this thread whether you think it is a winger - if we get at least 10 givers and 10 receivers then I will go ahead with it, and will post my email address to start the ball rolling!
Receivors must be regular MNetters, in case we are deluged from other sites
So it is over to you guys - good idea or not???
