Frequently asked Questions

If you can't find the answer you're looking for - please get in touch with us HERE!

I need help - can I request gifts?

We support tamariki being raised by someone other than their parents in the Waikato. Requests for Christmas support have now closed. Other places you might be able to get assistance from include your local Salvation Army or Community House.

Who are the gifts going to?

Gifts will be going to children being raised by someone other than their parents (grandparents, aunties, uncles, siblings or carers) as well as some children who are experiencing significant hardship and have been referred to us by a social service.

Can we host a Wish Tree?

We are so grateful you want to host a Wish Tree, however we have reached our capacity for Wish Trees this year. You can still host a Christmas gift collection - please email us at admin@kidsinneed.co.nz.

We would love to help collect gifts, how do we do that?

Thank you so much for wanting to encourage others to give this Christmas - if you’d like to organise a Christmas gift collection please email us at admin@kidsinneed.co.nz.

What gift should I buy?

If you are stuck for gift ideas, we will have some ideas going up on our Facebook page. You could also pick a Christmas "wish" from Wish Trees around the Waikato. There aren't wishes for every single child, so any new, unwrapped gifts are gratefully accepted.

How do the "wishes" work?

Some children have specific items they would love for Christmas. Specific wishes can be found at "Wish Trees". You can take a wish, purchase that gift, and drop it off unwrapped under the tree (you don't have to attach the original wish card, but you can if you want!). We then match gifts to the children on our list. 

Should I wrap my gift?

No. We want to make sure we give the perfect gift to each child which means we need to see it.

Where can I drop off my gift?

Drop off locations are listed HERE.

What is the latest I can drop off my gift?

Organising all of our Christmas gift donations is a huge job, we’d love all gifts dropped off by Friday 13th December at the latest so our Christmas elves can get to work wrapping and delivering before Christmas.

Can I donate preloved toys for gifts?

No. We are only accepting new items for Christmas gifts.

What are your bank account details?

If you’d like to donate a specific amount to our Christmas campaign, please use the following account information with the reference XMAS.

Account Name: Kids in Need Waikato Charitable Trust
Account Number: 12-3268-0100452-00

How does the Online Christmas Shop work?

You pick the type of gift you’d like to donate towards, make your donation and then we will purchase a gift on your behalf.

Can I get a donation receipt for my donation?

Absolutely! If you’d like a donation receipt for tax purposes, please email admin@kidsinneed.co.nz with your full name and address and we will send that out to you.
