Some good ideas coming up for presents...and am making a list!
I think this is a great idea then. Perhaps the idea of these is, that the people buying or recieving the gifts have conservation in mind anyway and will top up the initial gift with donations.

I buy all my cards from RSPB or similar charities and then recycle them at large shops to support the woodland trust or use some of them for the next year's gift tags.
Dont forget you can send all your used stamps to the RSPB!
