Happy Birthday Helen!!
Saturday, July 26th, 2008All at Simply Helen would like to wish Helen a very happy, love filled 63rd birthday.
You may remember Helen’s involvement in Oxfam’s “Unwrapped” campaign, last autumn/winter. The aim of the campaign was to “speak out against rubbish presents” targeted at the Christmas shoppers, it was a tongue-in-cheek parody highlighing our societies mindlessness when buying others gifts at times like Christmas, giving presents that people don’t really want or need. Instead Oxfam wanted you to buy something more worthy, giving vital equipment and help to those less fortunate than us.
Last year, here at Simply Helen we launched our “Merchandise” store. All proceeds from this store go to Oxfam, so if you want to give Helen a birthday present, why not head over to our store and pick up one of our pieces safe in the knowledge that you are not only giving Helen a present she would appreciate but also to those across the world that need our help most. You get to keep the cool Mirren-themed apparel and Helen gets the “spiritual gift” of a donation made to charity in her honour.
Thank you to those of you who have supported our “little” charity fundraiser so far. And also a big thank you to Helen for inspiring us to do something “that matters!”
