IS this too tall and order? I want some southern hemisphere Xmas themed charity cards .... any ideas?

Hmm, I managed to find some great sheep photo cards (!), but unfortunately not charity. I'm finding the choice pretty limited.

I found some great southern hermisphere cards in paper plus in Rangi, including one with santa on a waka!! But, sadly, not charity ones.

I think the 2nd, 4th and 5th on this page from Save the Children are the only half decent ones I've found and they're not really perfect. Anyway, best get my skates on and post them so I'll have to pop to Napier and hope they stock them!

Much more classy than my Christmassy sheep.

Canteen do a pack - they are drawn by teens at a workshop earlier this year with an NZ/Christmas theme. They called on the phone and this is the one charity I will support from unsolicited calls!

They have a great personal story on the back from the artist.

Neil, they're marvelous and just what I wanted :) Many, many thanks :)

No worries - a great charity to support! I am personally making a note in each one asking people top read the story on the back of the card :)

The bloke got us several boxes of charity Xmas cards today in Whitcoulls. One of the boxes has 2 types of card:a map of NZ with a kiwi in a Santa hat and showing summer xmas themed stuff on the map, and a NZ flag an NZ animals (sheep, Kiwi, etc) all in Santa hats sitting round a Xmas tree. Can't remember what charity it is for off top of me head though.

Neil, thanks for the recommendation. Just ordered mine.

Canteen is a great organisation. :nice1 My son's school always does bandana week, which the kids love but also gives them the chance to talk about some pretty serious topics:
