Farmer's Kit; £45

Even kids' colouring-book pictures of jolly dungaree-clad farmers usually include tools. It's pretty hard to work the ground without some sort of hardware.

With these farmers' kits, Oxfam provide wheelbarrows, pitchforks, seeds and training to help people to make the most of their land so that they can not only feed themselves, but make a profit too by selling their produce.

The obvious song does beg to be sung though - so, all together now; "Old Mac-do-nald had a farm..."
