Living Gifts support the work of Quaker Service Australia. By giving a Living Gift to a friend or colleague you are also helping our partners in India, Cambodia, Uganda and Indigenous Australia. If you intend on giving a Living Gift in place of a Christmas present, please ensure that your order is placed in early December so that you can receive your card in time.

How the Living Gifts work
Simply choose one or more of the gifts below, and then download and print our order form. Send your order to us. For every gift that you select, we will send a card for you to write your message on. You can then give the card to the friend, colleague or family member that you wish to make the gift on behalf of.
