A Christmas pop-up shop is opening in Soho to help refugees

The Choose Love initiative will aid those most in need this festive season
Christmas cheer: Presents available at Choose Love's charitable Soho pop-up

In an effort to free us all from the grips of consumerism this Christmas, UK charity Help Refugees and creative collective Glimpse are teaming up to open Choose Love, the world's first pop-up shop where you can buy tangible gifts for refugees.

The Soho store will give Londoners the opportunity to buy all sorts while also learning about the challenges of the refugee crisis across Europe and other parts of the world.

Everything on sale is themed around the three phrases of a refugee's experience: Arrival, Shelter and the Future. Items include all sorts from nappies to socks, blankets to sanitary towels and medical equipment, with prices starting as low as £4.99.

To make you feel even warmer and fuzzier inside about your purchases, proceeds from the pop-up will support Help Refugee's important work throughout the continent and the Middle East.

If you miss the opportunity to go along, an online version of the shop will be opening later this year.

Choose Love is open seven days a week from November 24 to January 31 2018 at 18 Broadwick Street, W1F 8HS
