Hiya lovely people smiling smiley x


I?m doing Xmas hampers or gift bags for families who have had it rough. I would like to help out these families by purchasing items for them and Gifting it to them.


This is my first year doing this. I was in the same position as these families and I was in need of essential items and kids items during the pandemic when my husband lost his job. So I got help and I was so so happy and it helped me so I want to return that helping hand and help out those who are going through a rough time right now. And when I can help them out it puts a smile on my face as it did when I received help.


These families where referred to me via the schools both my children attend. I spoke to both headteachers and the staff who help families in need and they refer them on to me. They were happy I was doing this as they said that sadly they weren?t doing it due to covid. They couldn?t accept donations.


I have made an Amazon wish list with some items that were requested by the families. Please do have a look on the link any donation made would be very appreciated. The link is: [www.amazon.co.uk]


Examples of items that can be donated:


Chocolate/sweets

Gift sets for him/her

Toiletries

Make up

Clothing

Toys - board games, etc



Thank you for taking time in reading my post. Anything is very much appreciated x

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
