Christmas is a special time of the year; it's a time for giving, a time for hugging, a time for appreciating what we're blessed with. So it's no wonder that here at Inspire we'd like Christmas to last all year and with this in mind, we partnered up with The Think Shop and produced a selection of 8 different ornaments that can be debuted on this year's Christmas tree, but can also kept on display all year round.

With four ornaments in English and four in Maltese, the artisanal wooden ornaments feature inspiring and uplifting sayings that apply to every day of the year.

"At Inspire we're all about hope", explained Therese Bonnici, Fundraising Executive at Inspire.  "Hope is what keeps us going; it's what keeps parents and clients going; it's what keeps our staff and volunteers going.  We depend heavily on voluntary donations and these ornaments are a way of giving something back to the generous members of the public who choose to donate to Inspire this Christmas."

So this year, if you're looking for special and meaningful gifts, for family, friends, colleagues or even clients, choose one or a set of Inspire's ornaments. The positive messages that feature on each and everyone of them will bring a smile to anyone's face and knowing that their gift has helped members of The Inspire Foundation will make anyone's year better.

Each ornament costs €5 and a set of 4 costs €18.
