Disaster relief charity Jersey Side by Side has announced that the fourth annual Big Gift Sale will go ahead on 18 January and is asking people to dig deep and support the fundraiser.
The sale of surplus and unwanted Christmas presents has been popular since it first began in 2011, raising between £3,000 and £4,000 each year for worthy causes.
In previous years, Islanders have donated gifts including perfumes, DVDs, clothes, books, stationery and a wide range of goods.
Jean Le Maistre, the chairman of Jersey Side by Side, said: ‘Toiletries have been very popular over the last three sales, but there have also been some really nice gifts ranging from cuddly toys to handbags and jigsaws and chocolates.
‘We will accept anything really, but it has to be new or of very good quality.’
Presents can be dropped off at all 12 parish or public halls and Communicare from Thursday 2 January.
All the money raised from the sale of gifts will this year be put towards the rebuilding effort in the Philippines following the destruction wreaked by Typhoon Haiyan last month.
