A Merry Vinnies Christmas - Donate a Gift

St Vincent de Paul Society Wellington

A Merry Vinnies Christmas offers a shopping style experience to parents and families looking for assistance over the December period. This means giving people the dignity, ownership and choice over what they receive from us.

The Vinnies office will transform into a mini toy shop, where families can choose what presents they want for their children.

DONATE A GIFT: Throughout the month of November, we will be collecting gifts to full up our toy shop in time for December.

To make this possible we are calling on families, corporate teams, businesses, clubs and individuals to donate gifts.

GIFT CRITERIA:
> For ages 0 - 16 years
> Unwrapped
> New or near new condition

Please drop off donations to the Vinnies Newtown office: Level 1, 207 Riddiford Street, Newtown

🎅 The Vinnies Toy Shop will be open from Monday 3 December - more info to come. 🤶

For more information, contact marketing@vinnieswgtn.org.nz or PM the page.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Share in the comments below if this has ever happened to you.
