Christmas is fast approaching and we at the NSPCC are hoping to make shopping a little easier for your readers by launching our first online Christmas catalogue.

It’s packed full of gift ideas for children and adults – from stocking fillers to books, games and stationery. There are also Christmas cards and e-cards.

This year has seen some unexpected events which have led to even more children needing our services. So now more than ever we need to make sure we are still here for children.

Every gift your readers buy is the gift that gives twice – you can give something great to a loved one while also helping us in our fight to protect children and end abuse. From answering Childline calls to children who have nowhere else to turn, to providing support for new parents, to helping children recover from abuse, every penny you spend will be put to good use.

Please visit shop.nspcc.org.uk and have a browse and don't forget to share with your friends and family. We hope you find something special.

Thank you.
