Seven days.
That's all that's left before a list of names goes live, and one of them becomes yours to choose.
Imagine a small hand, lifting a toothbrush out of a box like it's a trophy. A packet of sweets, held up with great surprise.
It doesn't take much to amaze a child. That's not a sad fact. It's a hopeful one - it means you don't need very much to change someone's life for the better. You just need to choose to.
You already know this. You've amazed a child before - maybe last year, maybe for many years running. You know the particular quiet joy of picking the 8 specified items in the right size, the right colour, and the one thing you know will amaze them.
In seven days, you get to do it again.
Start thinking about who you'd like to shop for – the names are coming soon.
