Amazon Wishlist/Shoebox Christmas Appeal

Post by Foofy »

As the Christmas Amazon wish list/shoe box appeal has been such a huge success for the past couple of years, thanks to our supporters kind and generous donations :D We've decided to run it again this year.

This is where we ask people to donate suitable rabbit or guinea pig items before Christmas and we collect them all up and make up a parcel of goodies for the PaP Rescues. The Parcels will be sent out in December so the Rescues will receive them in time for Christmas.

Basically it will run the same as last year you can either take a look at our Amazon wish list https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/registry/wi ... st_lists_1
and purchase an item/s from it, they will be sent direct to me. Our Amazon wish list can also be found by searching for a wish list on Amazon.Co.UK search for Pledge a Pound.

Or you can collect up several items and send them to me either in October or November, in a shoebox style parcel similar to the photo shown below. If you wish to do this please send me a PM to request my address. Places like The Range & Wilkinsons sell very reasonable dried herbs, treats and willow toys suitable for rabbits and guinea pigs.

Or if you prefer you can purchase item/s from another online retailer, and have them sent directly to me, to save you posting them on, obviously if you wish to do this you will also need to PM me for my address, some online retailers still offer free postage, or free over a certain amount, which of course would be even better :) if anyone knows which online companies still offer free postage please let me know.

Don't forget whichever online retailer you decide to buy your donation/s from if you go through Easyfundraising first Pledge a Pound will also get a donation as a %age of your purchase, this is free for you and us, here's the link http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/

If you would like to see suitable type items you can take a look at our Amazon wish list, which has been updated this year. The donations must be suitable for either rabbits or guinea pigs or both. This year I am asking for small light items, nothing heavy or bulky in size due to postage costs. NO heavy bags of food, hay bales of any size, litter trays, lazrge tunnels, etc. Items like toys, treats, dried herbs, fleece blankets, medical items such as Panacur, Critical Care, Fibreplex, Biolapis, cotton wool buds etc. would be ideal.

The rabbits and guinea pigs at our Rescues will really appreciate an extra toy or a few treats this Christmas :)

To ensure there is plenty of time to make up the parcels and ensure the Rescues receive them before Christmas please make sure your parcel will arrive on or before Saturday 10th December.

If anyone has any questions please reply to this post, or send me a PM.

Thank you :D

We have received our first box of donations today for the Christmas Wishlist fundraiser, 6 boxes of Meadow Hay Cookies :) thank you so much to whoever donated them, what a great start :D

Photobucket doesn't seem to be working today so hope you can click on the link to see the photo? If not I'll add in the photo when it's working again.

My heart has joined the thousand, for my friend stopped running today.

Have the Christmas Wishlist parcels been sent out? We received a parcel today that I think may have been our Pledge A Pound gift, but there was nothing in the box to say who it was from?

Many thanks.

Yes the Wishlist parcels were sent out earlier this week, so it sounds like you have both received yours now :D The address label on the front of the parcel should have said Pledge a Pound Wishlist Parcel on it and also inside the box the label should have said from me (S Gibson)

Hope the bunnies enjoy their treats :D

See it now on the outside label.

Thank you so much. We are going round a number of our foster carers on Sunday giving out various gifts handed in to the rescue so we will add it to this.

I will try to get photos sorted soon.
