Hi friend,

We hate to break it to you, but Christmas Day is only 40 sleeps away! I know – scary! If you are anything like me, you probably haven’t even started your shopping list for your loved ones yet. Who has the time??

And isn’t it always so tough finding the right present for the right person? You want to find a gift to light up their face when they rip off the wrapping paper. A special something that they tell their friends about. The present that they use over and over.

Well friend, I have some gift suggestions that are guaranteed to do just that. How about one of these…

Give the gift of warmth: $59 will help provide bundles of clothing to keep babies and children warm for a whole year

I was overjoyed when we heard about the little 4-year-old girl who just couldn’t stop smiling, simply because she got her very own set of outfits for the year. So precious.

Not the one? Maybe...

Give the gift of freedom: $123 can help provide prams for new parents to get out of the house for important appointments

How fabulous that we could send out a pram to a Mum who hasn’t been able to leave the house with her 3-month-old. The relief that she felt was truly heartwarming.

No? How about….

Give the gift of sleep: $201 can help provide mattresses and cots - the safest place for babies to sleep and dream

Nothing brings a smile to my face quite like a family’s joy when they receive and set up their cot. Now they finally feel ready for the new arrival to come home.

Friend, if you are super organised and efficient and have already sorted your shopping list then well done you! Now you have the chance to give the gift that really counts…a donation to Geelong Mums to help the thousands of babies and children in need this festive season.

Thank you so much for your ongoing support,

Ruth Holdaway MBE
Chief Executive Officer
