Top Ten Irish Kris Kindle Gifts that Keep on Giving

Top Ten Irish Kris Kindle Gifts

This year unlike years in the past where I put together lists of my favourite gifts for him and her, and even your pet – I’ve decided to put together somewhat of a different listings for you. This Top Ten Irish Christmas Gift listing is for everyone. But particularly for those who have Kris Kindle gifts to buy. Whether it’s for a colleague, between your friends or for your family.

Top Ten Irish Kris Kindle Gifts for 2015

Kris Kindle gifts normally have a cut off spend of about €20. Sometimes they are gifts that are thrown together last minute. And often they are gifts that end up in bottom drawers or dare I say it … bottom of the bin! This Kris Kindle gift list does not suffer any of the above. In fact it’s full of gift ideas for gifts that keep on giving.

Making a Change with Your Kris Kindle

Instead of buying something crap this Christmas as a Kris Kindle, buy something worthwhile. HELP make a difference and consider making your Kris Kindle gift purchase a donation.

The listing is in no particular order and in most cases will cost you what you can afford or a minimum of €25. I’ve included all the links you need to make a purchase. How you present your gift (donation) is up to you. But a card with a note is probably the easiest and most effective way.

LittleHill Animal Rescue

The Life of Stuff - LittleHill Animal Rescue

“The idea for LittleHill animal rescue & sanctuary was conceived several years ago. We had come across many under-fed and neglected horses. Feeling that we could not stand idly by and do nothing, we took in those horses for which we could help and provide for. Over time we found many more horses that were no longer wanted and were badly treated. Though we had limited resources, we decided to raise funds and formed LittleHill Animal Rescue…

We operate a “no-kill” policy, so that no animal in our care will ever be put to sleep. Unless it is suffering and our vets advise us that this would be the kindest option. Several of our residents have been reprieved from a death sentence and are happily living out their days here at the Sanctuary.”
