Crisis for eBay Christmas cards

What will you do with all those cards hanging in your house in a weeks time? Bin them? Put them in the recycling? Cut tags for next years Christmas presents from them? Lets face it cards are pretty much endemic to the Christmas festivities and yet the millions of pounds spent on them each year is thrown in the bin at the end of the Christmas festivities.

eBay UK have chosen this year not to send cards, but instead to make a donation to Crisis, a charity which aims to fight homelessness and empower people to fulfil their potential and transform their lives. eBay's replacement eCard is below.

Crisis will open seven centres between 23 and 30 December offering homeless and vulnerably housed people companionship at a time of year which can be particularly lonely for those without a home or family.

If you would like to add your own donation to that of eBay this Christmas please visit the Crisis website.
