This festive season, if you’re planning on doing something from the heart but don’t really know where to begin and how to change your regular Christmas routine; take a leaf out of these four spots's book.

D’Office

Throwing a Christmas party or staff meal? Why not head to D’Office in Valletta? The retro Parisian decor fills the small yet welcoming restaurant found on Archbishop Street, where the top-notch menu will taste even better when you hear of their totally selfless behaviour. With all the pennies saved throughout the year; D’Office supports Valletta organisations who could use a spot of Christmas cheer - good on you guys!

Jacob’s Brew

Known for its Pay it Forward concept, Jacob’s Brew is set on giving all its customers a warm and welcoming experience with every sip of coffee and dollop of clotted cream spread on the freshly baked scone. The Marsascala café is Malta’s first social enterprise managed by Jacob Cachia, where he inspires a sense of community with the many initiatives he involves himself in. Jacob’s Brew supports Survivors Malta and strives to create a giving environment for all to appreciate. Head here for a quick catch up with your mates over the Christmas holidays.

MSPCA Charity Shop

There are plenty of charity shops that benefit the less fortunate in Malta, be it humans or our furry friends! Among them is the MSPCA Charity Shop in Naxxar, which gives its customers a new slant on used items of clothing and other novelty items. If you’re looking for a Christmas gift with a special meaning this year, why not pop in for a dash of inspiration? Their vast range of goods will surely make for a unique gift.

Moggies and Doggies

Is your pup or kitty in need of a good scrub down before the family photo? Well, look no further - Moggies and Doggies support local animal shelters by donating a good portion of their income to the less fortunate doggos out there. Ask your furry friends whether they’d like to be part of this radical change and book your next appointment for Moggies and Doggies. Based in Qormi, this altruistic organisation helps to make your love for animals stretch a little further with every brush, wash and blow-drying session.

Think outside the box this festive season... think of the true meaning of Christmas before you spend your hard-earned cash.
