I've just come home to find two items of post have arrived addressed to me, both from charities. In one (from The Cats Protection League) accompanying the letter asking for a donation were: a pen, a notebook, a holographic bookmark, three cards with envelopes, a pre-paid envelope in which to return the completed donation form and a small leaflet - oh and a half page with stickers/gift labels. How on earth can they make enough money to aid animals when they are spending so much on sending everyone this nonsense, most of which I have no doubt ends up in rubbish bins. It just makes me angry. In the past I've cancelled my direct debit to one well known children's charity which kept bombarding me with similar stuff asking me to increase the amount I donated and which was sending out cheap gifts to all and sundry (and rewarding their chief executive with a huge salary).
