Good Gifts
http://www.goodgifts.orgThe Good Gifts Catalogue was born 11 years ago, a refreshing alternative to conventional unwanted presents.
We were guided by 2 commitments: first, that every Good Gift was always wanted. And second when you buy a Good Gift, your money buys the actual gift.
Over 11 years, our commitments have never wavered. In fact, we’re delighted, that more and more people choose Good Gifts in order to target their charitable giving with more accuracy.
