Five charity Christmas gift ideas for everyone on your list
Give the gift of hope this Christmas
Looking for charity Christmas gifts that mean a little more? Whether you’re shopping for a little reader, a star baker or that person who’s impossible to buy for, we’ve got Christmas gift ideas that give back.
Every gift you buy from Mary’s Meals can help us provide life-changing school meals to children living in some of the world’s poorest communities. So, whoever is on your Christmas list, you can give something special while helping to bring food and hope to a hungry child.
1. For the person who already has everything: a charity gift card
For the person who’s impossible to buy for, give a gift that can make a real difference.
Our meaningful charity gift cards help provide school meals to hungry children. You can give 100 meals for just £10 or, for £19.15, give the gift of feeding a child with Mary’s Meals for a whole school year.
Digital gift cards are also available, making them a great choice if you’re looking for digital gifts for Christmas, virtual charity gifts, or a last-minute present you can send by email. Choose from: 50 meals for hungry children; 100 meals for hungry children; feed a child for a whole year.
2. For the little reader: Corrie’s Capers
Shopping for a child who loves story time?
Author Alison Page's beautifully illustrated beautifully illustrated Corrie’s Capers picture books follow Corrie, a West Highland Terrier, on adventures across Scotland. Choose from five books, available individually or in bundles, with all proceeds donated to Mary’s Meals.
A lovely present to unwrap – and an ethical Christmas gift that gives back too.

3. For the person who doesn’t want more stuff: donate a life-changing gift on their behalf
If someone on your Christmas list would rather make a difference than receive another physical present, why not donate on behalf of someone as a gift?
Our life-changing gifts start at £50 and fund the essential items that help make delivering Mary’s Meals possible, including a stove set that can cook up to 300 meals every day and mugs or plates for 250 children.
In return for your donation, we’ll send you a PDF that you can email or print to give to your loved one. These charity donation gifts for Christmas are a simple way to make a meaningful donation on someone’s behalf while still giving them something to receive on Christmas Day.
4. For the Christmas traditionalist: charity Christmas cards
For the person who still loves sending something through the post at Christmas, you can’t beat a beautiful Christmas card.
Our Mary’s Meals Christmas cards let you send festive wishes while supporting a good cause. Our charity Christmas card packs include 10 cards and envelopes, with a selection of designs to choose from.
We also have designs that celebrate the religious meaning of Christmas. If you’re looking for religious charity Christmas cards, our nativity-inspired cards offer a meaningful way to share Christmas wishes while supporting children living in poverty.
Whether you’re searching for Christian charity Christmas cards, Catholic charity Christmas cards or simply beautiful charity Christmas cards in the UK, there are designs to suit different Christmas traditions.
5. For someone you want to remember: a gift in memory
Christmas can also be a special time to remember someone who is no longer with us.
You can dedicate a thoughtful digital gift in memory of someone special. Costing £19.15, this digital ‘in memory’ gift will feed a child for a whole year – a life-changing legacy.
Share your gift by email or on social media, or print it out to give to someone special.
Give a Christmas present that gives back
Whether you’re looking for sustainable Christmas gifts, charity e-gifts, Christmas cards or something meaningful for the person who already has everything, choosing a gift that gives back can make Christmas even more special.
And you don’t have to buy a physical present. You can make a Christmas present charity donation or choose one of our digital gifts and help Mary’s Meals continue reaching hungry children with life-changing school meals.
