## Products
- [In An Emergency](https://echcharity.org/product/in-an-emergency/): Waiting in the emergency department with your child can be frightening, exhausting and heartbreaking. When your worst fears and worries take over, having a distraction for your child can help to ease the burden. Toys, DVD players and games can help children feel more at home, and less scared of their surroundings. Unexpected trips to A&E happen at all times of the day and night, and play can calm and reassure the most anxious of children. £34.60 could go towards a selection of brand new toys, to distract children from pain and fear.   Don't forget to download your In an Emergency certificate once you've made your purchase - you can keep it, send it to a loved one or share it on your social media. Your download will open in a separate window, and can be saved to your device. 
- [Rewarding Bravery](https://echcharity.org/product/rewarding-bravery/): Hundreds of brave children come to hospital every day. Whether they are smiling through cancer treatment, or fighting fears before an operation; their bravery is rewarded by the hospital play team with certificates, stickers, books and toys. These rewards might be the one thing that makes a child smile after a long appointment, a painful procedure or a difficult conversation. They could be the one silver lining on a very cloudy day. £115.38 could pay for a whole week's worth of bravery.    Don't forget to download your Rewarding Bravery certificate once you've made your purchase - you can keep it, send it to a loved one or share it on your social media. Your download will open in a separate window, and can be saved to your device. 
- [Sensory Exploration](https://echcharity.org/product/sensory-exploration/): Help bring the magic of Christmas to seriously ill children and their families in hospital. Sensory play for babies is something that many parents take for granted - exploring different textures, lights and sounds can stimulate a child and help with recovery. But for children who are visually or hearing impaired, or those who spend a long time in hospital, sensory equipment can be a lifeline. Days in hospital can be long and tiring for parents too, but seeing your baby enjoy sensory play, especially during the season of festive fun, is truly magical. £47.60 could pay for a whole month of sensory play, for babies and children of all ages.   Don't forget to download your Sensory Exploration certificate once you've made your purchase - you can keep it, send it to a loved one or share it on your social media. Your download will open in a separate window, and can be saved to your device. 
- [Get Creative](https://echcharity.org/product/get-creative/): Help bring the magic of Christmas to seriously ill children and their families in hospital. Each day, the play team provides a range of art and craft activities for children and young people in hospital. These sessions can be a great distraction when a child is in pain, or just help a child to express their emotions when words might not be enough. Painting, cutting and sticking sparkly Christmas creations is a chance for children to experience some normality in what can be a very hectic or upsetting day. £19.17 could pay for a day's worth of art and craft materials, allowing kids to be kids, even for just half an hour.   Don't forget to download your Christmas Crafts certificate once you've made your purchase - you can keep it, send it to a loved one or share it on your social media. Your download will open in a separate window, and can be saved to your device. 
- [Virtual Gift](https://echcharity.org/product/virtual-gift/): Support seriously ill children in hospital today by donating. Choose from either £5, £10 or £15 and bring more than medicine to a child facing a potentially life-changing hospital stay.
