A Give It Away Day (Huddersfield's first?!)

Do you feel you have Enough? Are you fed up with the constant pressure to buy, buy, buy? Do you like Giving at least as much as Taking?!

A bunch of us in Huddersfield asked ourselves these questions last week and answered YES! So we decided to celebrate our good fortune and thumb our noses at consumer culture by just Giving Things Away!

(Oh, and it was one of the busiest shopping days of the year, and also National Buy Nothing Day, so this felt like a good way to celebrate!)

We met outside a busy shopping centre on Saturday afternoon, and gave presents to random strangers. Watch this video to see how it went... and yes, we did get 'moved on'!

Why not organise your own Give It Away Day (maybe in the new year to pass on some of those unwanted prezzies?!) or do some other Random Acts of Fun!

**Our lives are full of great things - let's share some fun and abundance around! :D **
