We are delighted to announce the winner of our Ethical Tip is Gill Sutch!
We loved her tip below:
Give friends and family a unique gift, one that encompasses the true spirit of Christmas – the ‘gift of time’. You could even start a new Christmas tradition within your family, as this is something you can encourage others to join in with. Think of something you could do that involves sacrificing a little of your own time to help out a friend or family or as a way of spending more time with someone. Once you’ve thought of a suitable gesture, and it shouldn’t be anything lavish, expensive or hard to commit to – that’s not the point – write out your ‘gift of time’ (or pledge) on a card and give it as one of your gifts to that person. It needn’t be a weekly effort either, once a month is achievable. Whether it’s washing your dad’s car, babysitting for your auntie or playing a game of scrabble with your Gran, the important thing is, it’s from you and you’re gifting someone your own time. I really can’t think of a nicer Christmas present to give or receive!
Well done Gill. Your two stockings will be arriving today.
Merry Christmas!
That is a great concept. I really believe it will work out to be a valuable piece of information in the future for me.
