Thoughtful gifts and excellent service

I bought most of my virtual gifts for Christmas this year from Must Have Gifts. There was a great selection to choose from and gifts to suit all ages and budgets. The website has been improved greatly since my previous visit two or three years ago and the process was simple to follow and efficient. The gifts themselves have yet to be delivered at Christmas but I know the recipients will appreciate the benefit they will give to those who need their help the most.

It’s good to help

We have sponsored three children through World Vision. The first two were boys in Ethiopia so when one of the projects was ending I asked to sponsor a girl instead. I spoke to a lovely lady who ensured that, next time, I was able to sponsor a little girl from Mozambique. I have been very happy with the service World Vision provide and it’s good to help others in the world who need a helping hand.

Sponsorship nourishes both children and sponsors

It's now 17 years that I've been sponsoring children worldwide with World Vision, and along with having my own children it's one of the most rewarding things I've had the joy of doing. I've just taken on another sponsorship because it's so easy to share the plenty - or even the little - you have with children who have so very much less, and amazing to see them blossom from malnourished, dejected little ones into healthy, confident young people. World Vision is transparent and provides great information and support for sponsors. Although founded on Christianity it never pushes religion, but encourages and empowers the poorest - and their sponsors - in faith that the world can be better for everyone. And one area development project after another, it makes it happen!

Very happy with the gift I have bought…Thanks

Very happy with the gift I have bought for my sister and brother-in-law for Christmas. We only do charity gifts these days, as we have everything we need. The card confirming the gift arrived yesterday, and is all ready to post off to them next month. Thank you for all the good work that you do. I hope I will be using you again in the future. God bless.

I have been purchasing Must have gifts for many years and at the end of October I bought three more. They didn’t arrive. Three phone calls later and still no call from customer service team. I emailed and finally a lovely lady called Hillaria phoned me. She put my orders through again and they duly arrived three days later. Huge thanks to her. Never had problems before and I love the choice of gifts and that they will help people in need.

I am very happy to be sponsoring a child in need. World Vision do amazing work to help children reach their potential and communities thrive. I have an account which I login to which has lots of information about the child I am sponsoring, plus information about his village and daily life. I am always delighted when I receive a letter or video from the child I have sponsored.

Very disappointing

Very disappointed that I placed an order for books for after reading club as a gift for my nephew’s birthday. The money was taken out of my account but he never received the card or notification that I had ordered this for him.
