Timto is a free revolutionary online children’s birthday present service. The service allows children to buy presents from their ‘ultimate’ wish list, while simultaneously supporting a chosen charity.
How it works?
Instead of guests giving small individual gifts at a child’s party, they are encouraged to make a contribution of any amount that they choose, to the child’s very own birthday fund which is then spent on the child’s ultimate wish list of presents from the Timto shop.
All contributions are anonymous and the child’s Timto fund can be closed before the event so that gifts in the wish list can be ordered and delivered in time for the party.
The Timto shop stocks gifts and gift vouchers from Amazon, The Entertainer, The Early Learning Centre, Mothercare as well as Red Letter Day experiences.
A proportion of the funds raised are then redistributed by the child’s family to a charity of their choice – CLIC Sargent.
The Timto concept requires the child to donate a minimum of £5 from their overall fund to any charity of their choice.
100% of every donation comes to CLIC Sargent
Timto Service
It allows parents to display the child’s party details online and send out personalised invites, while Timto will manage the entire process including the free printable party RSVPs and thank you certificates as well as the final charitable donation
