My opinion on it is if you want to give to charity just do it but don't pretend it's a bloody present to someone else.

I know a person who bought their child that as a Christmas present one year...nothing else

Someone bought me a piece of the moon once. I got a deed letter and everything. What was I ever going to do with that. :laugh:

...we have done something similar at work quite a few times for our Secret Santa...rather than buy and give to each other, we’ve bought items to make up hampers for the local food bank...

That's fine if you all decided to do that though

I bought ex-mrs LT a star once and she still "owns" it

I used to point to a bright star and tell my girls that one is called ex-mrs LT

A star is better than a piece of the moon though (sorry Annie)

If someone gifted me a charity donation to an environmental or animal cause in the UK, I'd like it. But something like the one in the uk? Nope.

At this point I'd prefer someone do something like this for me than spend money on something I could buy for myself.

I prefer to give presents to those I want to AND donate to charities too.
Not instead of.

So your against paying for something that actually does some good but will happily give your money to someone who claims to own the cosmos?.... OK.
