"We have also added a few treats for the adults in our refuges so they have something to open on Christmas Day.

"Anything you purchase will be delivered to our head office and given to our elves to distribute."

The list contains a variety of gift ideas from acrylic paints to Barbie dolls and pajamas, which - if purchased - will go directly to the families in the NDAS refuges this Christmas.
