Quaking Easter Gift Ideas From Practical Presents

Practical Presents have a great selection of ‘eggs-tra’ special gifts this Easter. The international development charities alternative gifts scheme has a whole host of unusual and innovative gifts for you to choose from – and they’re all much better for you than chocolate!

• Fluffy Ducks – £10
  are extremely important to poor families in places like Bangladesh, who rely on them to provide an ongoing source of nutritious eggs and income. 
• Gorgeous Goat – £15
  As a plentiful source of milk, a single goat can help keep families in places like Kenya, Zimbabwe or Bangladesh healthy and happy.
• Tiny Trees – £15.00
  In Sudan, the fruit of the baobab tree or ‘Tree of Life’ provides three times as much vitamin C as an orange.
• Cuddly Alpaca – £50.00
  In the freezing Peruvian Andes, alpacas are part of the family. Not only do they offer a ready supply of nourishing milk and wool.

A charity gift can start from as little as £8 and enable poor communities in some of the world’s poorest countries to tackle poverty by developing their own appropriate technologies.

You can choose to send your friend or loved one a presentation gift pack in the post, or an e-card instead, to let them know how much of a difference their gift could make.  E-cards are also great for last minute gift ideas!

Practical Presents Co-ordinator, Paul McQuaid, said -

Practical Presents really can make a huge difference to people living in poverty. Rather than spending a lot of money on chocolate eggs this year – especially when everyone is feeling the pinch – why not spend some of that money on a gift that could mean so much more to some of the world’s poorest people?

Practical Action works with poor countries across the world – including Africa and Asia and Latin America – to combat poverty through appropriate technology and sustainable solutions.

It’s the gift that keeps on giving….
