Make an offer for charity

Make an offer for charity

In the first of a series of ‘Make Us an Offer For Charity Days’, Charlie and Caroline, who own and run Pedlars, are offering up this fab red and white armlite floor lamp. If you fancy becoming the proud owner of it - this particular lamp usually retails at £325 - all you have to do is place your bid (£50 or above) in the comments section of their blog.

You pick the charity that you’d like the money to go to, and they’ll pay the postage to send it to you in the UK. A few bids are in already and, if enough people are interested, there’s the chance that two lamps may be available. So go and make a bid, it’s for a good cause and you could end up with a stylish lamp!
