my birthday is xmas eve and this yr ive said no gifts to those coming to my party, but instead I contacted 2 local animals rescues and asked what they'd like and people are going to give me food/blankets for the rescues instead (way more use than buying me 101 pks of smellies)
they both wanted specific things so maybe worth asking them. between them they want cat crunchies, cat meat sachets, wild bird food, excel pellets, straw, old blankets and also cleaning stuff for the centres like bin bags, fllor cleaner, rubber gloves etc
