Your sponsored child will be delighted if you send them a small gift.
We ask that when thinking of a gift you try and keep it small, as flat as possible and under 150g. We keep gifts small to reduce shipping costs and to ensure efficiency through customs. Here are some ideas:
TIP: Ensure the gifts you send can be shared with siblings and friends!
x money
× expensive gifts (jewellery, watches)
× electronic items (phone, tablet)
× sharp objects (scissors, cutlery, compass, pen knife)
× beauty and hygiene products (soap, make-up, shampoo)
× food and plants (sweets, chocolate)
× liquids (paint, bubbles, hand sanitiser)
× clothing (hat, scarf, socks, underwear)
× breakables (mirrors, mugs)
Gifts are screened by our office staff. Screening is vital to ensure we keep children safe. We must check all gifts in order to ensure nothing inappropriate reaches sponsored children.
To make this process as quick and efficient as possible, please:
✓ Place your unwrapped gift in a clear zip lock back- A4 in size or smaller
✓ Use a marker pen to put your sponsor reference number, child name and
number on the front of the bag.
✓ Post your gift to: Plan International Ireland, 11 Harrington Street, Dublin 8, D08 EK7D
Your generosity saves lives. Your support changes futures.
From working to end child marriage to keeping kids in school during crises, together we can make a difference where it’s needed most.
