The Perfect Card & Present
For Any Special Occasion
You might not want a card and present for your birthday or occasion. If so, just select a gift above and send whoever is shopping for you the link.
You can purchase a gift for Christmas and send everyone an e-card that you've decided to purchase this instead of cards and presents this year.
Sometimes people send more than a greeting card for someone's birthday. You might send a greeting card with a gift card inside. Or an experience day voucher.
The point is that many get to a point in their life where they "don't want anything", but you still want to celebrate their birthday.
So by giving both the cost of sending them a card, and a present, the total amount can really do some good.
Alternative charity gifts can be viewed in different ways by different people. It might be a good idea to send them the URL of the gift that you were thinking of buying them for their birthday or special occasion, to make sure that they are happy with the idea.
Straight away after you make your donation. From conversations we have had with our charity partners about the above amounts and what they can do, we know that this type of giving really does make a difference to charities that rely on donations.
If you want to donate in lieu of a gift only, you can still do so using our alternative charity gift solution.
Your birthday is the obvious one. Perhaps you're getting married and would prefer that people support your choice of cause with an alternative charity wedding gift. Or you've got everything sorted for your new arrival and would prefer for people to give a new baby alternative gift.
Whatever the occasion people are lining up to give you gifts for, you can always send them one of the URLs above and ask for the present cost to go to charity.
After donating the gift amount, you are then assigned a volume of e-cards where you can send the recipient an e-card which includes the chosen image for the charity gift along with information about the work the cause performs.
You can choose to display how much you gave along with writing a special message.
Yes you can give any amount when sending one of our charity e-card designs, so you can include an alternative birthday charity gift or christmas charity gift with your choice of charity e-card design instead.
"DontSendMeACard is a fantastic way of our supporters being able to send Birthday, Christmas and Greeting cards to their loved ones whilst doing something special to help our cause. We love being a part of it!"

"We’re delighted to be receiving money that would otherwise be spent on greeting cards, preventing unnecessary waste. Every £1 donated to us provides 4 meals for vulnerable and hungry people using surplus food which would have otherwise been wasted."
Katie Greaves, Corporate Development Coordinator, FareShare
"A great alternative to the £1.6bn spent annually on greeting cards in the UK."
