Christmas and New Year's holidays are the time when we spend the best moments with our loved ones and give gifts to each other. However, we must not forget those who are not so lucky and cannot afford things that we may take for granted. That's why it's a great idea to think about buying gifts with a charitable note during the holiday rush: that is, gifts where the money we buy them with goes to charity. We have prepared 6 ideas for such gifts.

October 16 is World Food Day, so Spar Slovenia decided on a cooking experiment that ended with an impressive number and a charitable note! As part of the "Food doesn't belong in the trash" campaign, they joined forces with renowned chef Marko Pavčnik, in which the chef cooked with exactly 68 kilograms of ingredients, as this is how much food every Slovenian throws away on average in a year (source: SURS, 2018).

Christmas is synonymous with the most beautiful things a being can possess - family, love, health, a roof over one's head, food and drink. And in our society it has become a given that Christmas is associated with prosperity. But if we look out the window of our home to the street, we realize that the world, which is wonderful for us, may be completely destructive for others. Make a change that will bring happiness to those who need it most.

In 1951, 14-year-old James Harrison from Australia woke up after major chest surgery. Doctors removed one of his lungs and hospitalized him for 3 months. During this difficult time, Harrison learned that he survived mainly because of the large amount of transfused blood he received. At that time, he promised to become a blood donor himself. Former Australian law required donors to be over 18, so James had to wait 4 years. And he waited and fulfilled his promise. The Australian Red Cross estimates that James has saved millions of lives through his regular blood donation for as many as 60 years.

Europe is facing its worst refugee crisis since World War II. Hundreds of thousands of people - most of them from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan - are forced to leave their homes because of the war. In Europe, they are met with both support and hostility. And while leaders on the continent are still trying to resolve the refugee issue, major football teams across Europe are already helping to tackle the crisis. Football will always be a religion in Europe, but these days it proves that some things are simply more important than what happens in ninety minutes on the pitch.

For the homeless, cardboard boxes are a strong ally, as they are one of the few channels through which they can seek empathy from passers-by. But the cardboard with the inscription is not aesthetically attractive, even if it has graceful marks of the felt-tip pen. The range of the message is thus severely limited. But nothing more, because it was the font of the "Kings of the streets" of Barcelona that was the basis for the charity project of the Arrels Foundation and The Cyranos McCann agency, which turned the five into fonts.
