What are Must Have Gifts?

Must Have Gifts are extra-ordinary charity gifts, giving you the chance to buy a gift that helps make the world a better place. Buying one of these gifts means you’ll be transforming lives and providing a future for children living in the world’s toughest places. Must Have Gifts help vulnerable families, communities and children, providing the essentials they need to survive and thrive.

Every one of the unique charity presents we offer is an item specifically requested by communities to create better futures for their children. When you buy a World Vision gift for charity, your donation will be used where the need is greatest. This is why these are some of the best charity gifts in the UK.

Whatever you choose, our charity gift ideas will help you supply vulnerable children with life-saving essentials and hope for a brighter future.

Pick between a free printed card or an e-card to let them know what you’ve bought on their behalf. For every virtual gift you buy, you’ll be helping at least two people; your loved one, and a child, family or even a community overseas. Join our charitable supporters in having an immediate and lasting impact today!

What do you get for the person who has everything?

With our wide selection of charity gifts, you can change the lives of vulnerable children whilst also showing your loved one you are thinking of them at a special time. Whether you’re looking for a birthday gift, a special anniversary, or need a Christmas present for the person who seems to have everything, these alternative gifts make a long-lasting difference to children that need them most.

You can focus on a cause your friends and family members really care about, or a charity donation gift that you know will mean the most to them. Buying a gift for a teacher? Help provide books to children that desperately need them for their education. Buying a present for a nurse? Mosquito nets can help children sleep safely, or clean water can help prevent illness.

What's new?

In order to make the most of your charity gift donations, we’re giving you the choice to go digital with our gift cards. This year, you’ll be able to send a printed card or e-card to your loved ones when buying from our range of alternative charity gifts. Choosing an e-card is a small change that has a big impact. By switching to online charity gifts and cards, we’re able to offer a more eco-friendly gift option, and it means your generous donations can reach more children and families living in the world’s toughest places.

Other ways to support World Vision

Along with these alternative Christmas gifts, there are other ways to support the work we do around the world. As a Christian charity, we are inspired by our faith to help children living in some of the hardest places. If you aren’t sure that a charity gift for Christmas is right for your recipient or are looking for different ways to donate on your own behalf, you could also consider sponsoring a child, giving a one-off donation or leaving a Gift in Memory.
