Better Than Socks Christmas Auction
This Friday hails the dawn of a new era of present buying with charity S.C.O.O.P...
For those who lack imagination when it comes to buying Christmas presents, this year there’s a fool safe way to avoid those flannel pyjamas and soap sets – and all for a good cause, too.
On Friday December 2, The S.C.O.O.P (Support Children Out Of Poverty) Foundation will launch its Better Than Socks Christmas Auction at the Powerscourt Town Centre, Dublin. Bidders will have the chance to donate in exchange for ideal, surreal and downright unusual gifts.
Entry to the World Bog Snorkeling Championships, a signed drum skin by The Coronas, a V.I.P. tour of Dublin zoo and colon hydrotherapy (yes - that it what you think it is) are just some of the quirky gifts up for grabs. You’ll also be able to bid for original art, a custom-made guitar and lessons in everything from bagpipes and belly dancing to burlesque.
Entry will be a wallet friendly €10 and doors will open at 7.30pm. You can read the full article about S.C.O.O.P.'s endeavours in the next issue of Hot Press, which is out on Thursday December 1.
