Wish List

Our wish list

Every Warm in Winter gift bag contains a fleece blanket, a pair of thermal socks, a thermal hat, a pair of gloves, a pair of legwarmers, a mug, a pack of hot drinks and a pen and stored in a branded reusable tote bag.

10,000 pairs of thermal socks 10,000 hats – unisex colours
10,000 pairs of gloves
(ideally one size ‘magic’ gloves)

(single or multiple use)
10,000 pairs of legwarmers 10,000 mugs
10,000 boxes of instant soup 50,000 sachets of instant coffee
10,000 boxes of instant porridge 50,000 individually wrapped tea bags
10,000 branded pens 20,000 sachets of instant hot chocolate
