Festive Favours
Come and see us on Church Street and find out about Festive Favours
Give something really valuable this festive season: your time!
Out Christmas shopping? Stuck for what to get people this year (again)? Sick of the queues and feel like you’re wasting time and money on guessing what everyone might want?
Give something really valuable this festive season: Your time! Rather than buying expensive presents, this year why not ‘Give the Gift of Time’ to friends or family instead?
Look for the people in the purple Santa hats in Church Street (by the Christmas tree) to find out how. We’ll be there Thursday 10th and Sunday 13th December, ready to take the pain out of your Christmas shopping.
By promising to give your time instead of buying a present, why not volunteer to help someone with their shopping, mow the lawn, walk the dog or even cook a loved one breakfast in bed. We’ll give you a personalised Time Token which can be gift wrapped, and ready to pop under the tree for friends or family. Come and say hello!
Festive favours…what would you do?
Lucie Jones, from X Factor, who has launched the campaign, says:
“Giving your time is such a great idea. It’s personal, costs nothing and captures the real festive spirit. Last year, it became popular to ask for charity donations instead of a gift. This year, with money tight, the new trend could be giving ‘the gift of time’. I hope the young people of Merseyside will really like the idea and get behind it.”
