If your seasonal shopping is likely to be dominated by those 'what-do-i-get-for' items, why not consider doing something a little more meaningful?
End shopping for banalities
We've all bought gifts at seasonal times for people because they were on our mental list. The markets for items made in the shape of a golf-ball, for scented candles, items in the shape of cherubs and novelty items boom predictably every year. We seem to buy things every year just to tick off the list, despite the gift having little meaning to us or to the recipient. At Community NI, it seems to us that the season of goodwill to all men and women ought to be about more than useless tat.
With love, with Concern
That's where a new service and programme from Concern comes in. Now there's an opportunity to remember the people you have to buy presents for, and vastly enhance the life of families in grief and poverty stricken parts of the world.

Concern with Love's programme
Put simply, Concern now offers a way to buy a present for someone who really needs it, on behalf of someone on your gift list. The person you 'buy it for' gets information, in a postal card or e-card, about the gift, and what it will mean to the family in Africa it benefits. From maize seed, through to goats, all the way to village water pumps (a steal at £75) these are affordable gifts with the power to make an outstanding difference to people who really need it.
The website
Concern With Love's website is an excellent place to get that elusive, meaningful and worthwhile gift.
