lol you may have differing reactions on this

Either you will think

1) I'm glad Roz isn't my secret Santa

or

2) that's as cool as BEANS

Look what you can do with Oxfam!

Feed 200 - yes 200 - that's not a typo - 200 hungry school children for £12. Around the price of a half decent GoF costume

I think this is a grand idea and I have a couple of lovely friends who would appreciate something like this for Christmas (one is probably going to be someone I bought a 3rd World Goat for their birthday present and they almost collapsed with excitement )

I wish I could feed myself for 200 days for £12. I'd be lucky to get away with a handful of days for £12!

We have the same thing in Australia too:

Instead of getting eachother chrissie presents in our work group we are putting our money together to get some things....we are going to get a goat, some chickens etc

I think it is a fantastic idea!

Ooh yes it all does the same job. I expect there is a .com add too - let me check

Oh hang on - it was .com to begin with - I hadn't realised that Oxfam was a British charity

Sorry it seems to just be Ozzies and Brits with this Oxfam option, but I'm sure there must be an American charity with a similar aim.

Don't forget to send all of your extra surplus base sets of CATCF, POA, POAU, SS, GOF and LOST to the person you got the goat for. They'll need to feed it something.

We have something similar in the US too.

Click on the picture that says Christmas Gift Catalog.  It's amazing what they can do with such small amounts of money.

On a slightly different although same idea note. The RSPCA (royal scoiety for prevention of crulity to animals- register charity) have got some gives of giving certain amounts for various things.

I bought a cat pod for one day at £5.60.

She didn't get the goat it went to a family in a far-flung place, I can't remember where 

These presents are great for "the person who has everything" - and a big heart
