€100 doesnt go very far nowadays

Why dont you donate it to the hospital that you got your kidney in?

Or go buy childrens gifts and drop them into temple street!

Buy a really big box of chocolate nipples and give them to your next door neighbour. Then laugh at the confused look on their face.

Or give it to charity, which is the better option really. Find a supermarket with a collection basket for St Vincent De Paul for gifts and spend it on teddys and sweets and put them all in the gift basket.

Hell no, don't even consider this.

Charity is good, encouraging people to hassle others going about their own business is not.

give it to SVdeP. It's the difference between a four year old getting something from santa, or getting nothing.

services of a hooker. You'll get another gift in return that you can keep for life and will cost nothing to pass on to others in the future! How fun!

I gave my Nintendo DS to Temple St last year, they sent a thank you letter, it was very satisfying since I hardly used it anyway. You should think about that. Like a Christmas present for your own soul. :-)
