What are UNICEF Inspired Gifts?

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 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.

Are Inspired Gifts real?

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.

When will my e-card be delivered?

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.

Will I get a card for each Inspired Gift I purchase?

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.

Is there a guarantee the gift I select will be delivered?

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. 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.
