Inspired Gifts are a collection of charity gifts essential for child survival and development. They provide crucial aid to children living in areas affected by poverty, conflict or natural disaster. When you order an Inspired Gift for family or friends, real supplies like vaccines and food are shipped from UNICEF’s massive warehouse in Copenhagen to children and families in need around the world.
With each purchase you can personalise a card for your nominated recipient that tells them about the incredible impact their Inspired Gift will have. You can choose to send the card in an email at a time of your choosing or receive it instantly as a print-at-home PDF.
Yes, they are. All of the Inspired Gifts you see on our website are real, tangible items being distributed year-round in response to the needs of children around the world.
You can choose when you want the recipient to receive the e-card or send a print-at-home PDF card to yourself and it will be delivered immediately.
Yes, you’ll receive a card for each gift! You can also specify a unique email (or PDF) for each card. Just select your first Inspired Gift, personalise the message, choose your card design, and specify delivery details. Once complete, go back to the catalogue, select your second Inspired Gift, and repeat the process for the second recipient.
Inspired Gifts respond to the real and changing needs of children around the world, so the item you select will be substituted for another item when there is a greater need for it. This means we cannot guarantee that the gift you select is the one that will be delivered to the field. We hope that through your purchase you are trusting us to deliver the supplies that will have the most impact for children in urgent need.
Inspired Gifts from UNICEF Aotearoa are indeed charity gifts. Each purchase supports vital programmes benefiting children globally, offering tangible items like vaccines or educational supplies. Choosing an Inspired Gift honours someone while making a significant charitable impact in their name.
