Part of Renard’s Christmas Card Classics series, 25% of the RRP of each book sold goes to Three Peas. This year, instead of a Christmas card, why not send a book?

First published in 1905, O. Henry’s masterpiece, The Gift of the Magi, is a moving short story that highlights the plight of the poor at Christmastime. Desperately in love but destitute, Della and Jim try to find ways to drum up the cash for presents for one another, but in the end find they have sacrificed too much along the way. An ode to love and a warning against the consequences of capitalism, The Gift of the Magi has stood the test of time and has sadly never been more relevant.

If you'd like to send this card directly to someone, select 'single' above, and enter any message you'd like to include during the checkout process.

In a nutshell, Three Peas is a small charity supporting people who have had to flee war and/or persecution in Europe. Today their focus is first and foremost in Greece, where the often-forgotten people-on-the-move population is ever present. They support community and distribution centres on Samos, Athens and Thessaloniki. They provide their partners with regular monthly funds, enabling them to better plan their aid and offer an efficient and therefore less costly way to assist those most in need.
