How does the list work?

Your list will only take a few minutes to create and send on to your family and friends.

Step 1 - Choose your gifts

From stylish second-hand fashion to a donation on your behalf, every gift fights poverty and inequality.

Step 2 - Add your message

You can drop any extra hints here, like your favourite author or genre of music.

Step 3 - Share with friends and family

Share your Christmas list with your favourite people and help create a fairer world.

Plus! Your loved ones can then write and share their own list of meaningful gifts.
