Gift suggestions

Charititable donations:

Please consider making these at least part of any gift: they add more to the world than any direct gift to me does. Additionally, that is something I feel deeply on and so I really appreciate them, and find them a good marker that you understand my prorities in this world

• Cool Earth - Climate-focused direct giving, a highly efficient and empowering mode of action that does a lot of good for the climate and human dignity. I donate to this charity monthly.
• TransActual - A trans advocacy organisation that does a lot of campagning, and seems good to me based of my limited research.
• LovingMe - A safe house for trans & non-binary DV victims, and the only such one in the UK.
• KDE - They produce high quality free (FOSS) software I regularly use, and this helps contribute to that effort, showing my thanks and helping pay for improvements I benifit from.
• Médecins Sans Frontières AKA Doctors Without Borders - They provide healthcare people experiencing poverty and in conflict areas. This is good. Also, it makes me think about how realistically beyond just the NHS healthcare should be not just nationallised but globalised, any person going without healthcare anywhere is a moral failing we all hold to some degree, especially in wealthy countries.
• The Deptford ragged trust - The project rebuilding my highly inclusive home church building, including community space and affordable (not "affordable") housing specifically set up for young people who need it most.

Benifiting me directly:

Because some of you insist on doing normal gifts instead of the above.
To be clear, I'd be greatful for these also, I just want to make sure you've considered donation as an option :)

• Humous. All quantities will be accepted, bulk 1kg+ especially appreciated.
• A pot of perfume/aftershave/"smell-juce". I have realised I have no such thing and it might be nice to have on occasion. Something simple and nature-y preferably, but really I know nothing about this so I'll have to rely on your judgement. (don't get anything too fancy, I may forget to use it for years at a time)
• a good sleep mask that seals well against the light.
• Mudguards for my bike.
• Socks with seperate toes.
• Another colour of nail polish, I'd like to have at least 5 so I can do each finger differently.
• Vegan pork pie. I know they exist, but not where or how good.
• A flower you found.
• One of your teeth on a string. This is not serious but I would be impressed if anyone actually did this.

Things I thought of that are a little less traditonal as gifts (and therefor mostly free):

• Look up your MP, know what kind of person they are, and write to them on an important topic (ie: palistine, trans rights, loss of fredom of speech and privacy online), then tell me about it or BCC me into the email.
• Write me a poem about whatever. Doesn't have to be good I'll just be glad to see the time and expression taken to make art.
• Plan a time we can interact socially, talk deeply, and gain deeper understanding of one another, strengthening social bonds. I suggest a walk.
• Go vegitarian/vegan/peskitarian for a month or six, and just tell me you're doing it for me as a gift, and let me know how it goes and if you sucseed.
• Donate your old phone/laptop to It ReUse where I volenteer, feel free to hand off devices to me and I'll take them in. There are also other similar charities in other areas if that's easier.
• Instructions of what to ask for from the hair cutting shop. I never know what to go for so guideance here is very helpful.
• Engage your local activist groups so you become more comfortable effecting change.
