Operation Xmas Child

If doing so, it might be an idea to do some research on
(1) the http://www.inminds.co.uk/ website which hosts the page linked above. It seems to me to be little more than an anti-Israel hate site

(2) the Islamic Human Rights Commission, who are behind the campaign against Operation Xmas Child.

The following unverified wikipedia page makes a number of charges against the IHRC. I cannot say whether these allegations are true. Maybe others might comment?

During the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict, the British press reported that IHRC Chair Massoud Shadjareh asked "his followers" and "British Muslims" to provide financial assistance to Hezbollah, and called for the occupation of Israel and "regime change" by Hezbollah on self-defence grounds. He was also reported wrapped in a Hezbollah flag at a rally in Trafalgar Square in 2005.[11][12][13] In a press release issued in response, the IHRC denied having advocated terrorism.[14] Shadjareh defended having worn the Hezbollah flag as "neither uncommon nor controversial among human rights activists,"[11] and the IHRC asserted that pictures of rabbis with the flag had not been met with a similar response.[14]

If you are into gifting evangalism with children's pressies, no problem.

I'm uncomfortable with it. People surely spend an average of 30e buying crayons/books etc for each shoe box, why not just send a cheque to Goal/Barnardos?

I know that has not got the personal touch, but many shopping centres will have gifting trees from local/Irish registered charities on the run up to Christmas. Its not Halloween yet!!
