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

...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...

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

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.
