Are you stuck for christmas presents?


Thanks for the concern about me on fireworks nite. I finally came in and sat with my mum. This is inky the pukekho bird. He runned away from his home on Tuesday night, as he got scared by the fireworks. We is keeping an eye out for him, so we can ring his beans if we sees him.

Are you once again pondering what to get folks for christmas?





Well I will let my mum tell you that the best ever present she got, was a goat. Not for her, we don't have the room. But it was for a family in Africa that could use the goat for milking or for making goat babies or sell for money. It was through a charity site like this one (this is the new zealand oxfam site) http://www.oxfamunwrapped.org.nz/oxfam_unwrapped/shopping.asp it is only $45 NZ ($35 US) for a goat. Or you could get two chickens for $12 NZ ($9 US). You order what you want : toilets, buckets, training for farmers, wells bikes etc....... They have 52 different gift ideas. Then they send the person you are giving the gift to a card - or they send them to you so you can write in them. Don't panic mum says - they don't actually send you a goat!! Imagine the postage - trying to send it to Africa?

  4. Oh, Poppy, you are so thoughtful. What a wonderful idea, to send a goat to someone in Africa who can't afford one.

  5. Hi Poppy Q! We heard about you going on the bus trip so we thought we'd come over to your blog since we haven't met you.
    We thought the bird you have pictured here was a carved wooden one at first!
