 Looking for a gift list service with a difference?
Part of giveit.co.uk, The
Alternative Wedding List
is the UK's on-line charitable wedding list service. Instead of toasters and kettles you can sign-up for a gift list that contains gifts of donations to various charities, including Barnardo's, Breast Cancer Care, British Heart Foundation, FARM-Africa, Marie Curie Cancer Care, Samaritans, Save the Children, War on Want and many more. Couples select a group of charities; your guests simply log on and select a donation to the charity of their choice.
Gifts range in price from £10 upwards. Example gifts include:
£27 pays for a gift to Sight Savers International to allow them to pay for a cataract operation for a child in Nigeria, while £50 would buy a gift to Save the Children to allow them to buy a set of winter clothes for a child in Serbia.
For £20 guests could cover the costs of a Marie Curie Cancer Care nurse for an hour in the home, or for £100 choose to buy a gift enabling Barnardo's to pay for an activity day for children living with HIV.
 Gifts of donations of a variety of values to more charities including Breast Cancer Care, British Heart Foundation, FARM-Africa, PDSA, Samaritans, Terrence Higgins Trust, War on Want and many others are included on the various lists available.
