I am thinking of getting my mum a oxfam gift for xmas??

[Jax Tellers Old Lady]

Just wondering if anyone has done this. I know my mum would love it and would see the idea behind it. I actually thought If I bought a goat then goat would be given to someone but its not.

Have you done this?
What did you buy?
Was the recipent you bought it for grateful.

Thanks

I bought a Goat a couple of years ago for my grandmother. She thought it was the funiest and best gift ever. She even told People she got a Goat for Xmas

From what I read a family was given a goat or whatever you bought.. I might have been wrong.. I hope not

oh and the card I recieved to give to grandmum had a goat on it..

That’s right - goat gifting is still a wise investment choice. Communities can start with one goat and end up with a herd. They can then be sold to raise funds for school fees or tools. Best of all, the first female kid is given to another family and the process starts all over again. A sensible gift for the big kid in all of us.

someone has to get the goat...

For Xmas last year, my BIL got a piglet , my MIL some primary school supplies and for a friends blessingway I got her a birthing attendant/midwife - so I think its a great gift!!:thumbsup:

All recipients were very happy and we got great feedback about our donations!! Will do it again!!
