Whether it’s for a spouse, a parent, your kids or best friend, sending a Valentine’s Day gift is a great way of showing you care... but flowers and chocolates don’t last!
So if you’re looking for a meaningful and lasting way to show you care, explore our collection of charity Valentine’s Day gifts. Each gift can make a huge difference to the lives of women and girls living in poverty around the world, from goat gifts to support farming families in Burundi, to period kits that can provide menstrual products for a refugee in need.
You can choose from a personalised greetings card, e-card or print-at-home PDF. And the Gifts in Action collection starts from just £9, so whatever your budget, there’s a perfect gift for you!
