She told MFR News: "We are taking part in a Chamber of Commerce lunch, and there are 140-people in attendance, so rather than give them items that they actually don't need, we thought we'd donate a gift for every person who's here - so there are 140-toys.

"The age range that we were given were either babies or teenaged-boys, and we think that sometimes teenagers are forgotten about, so we did have to put a lot of thought into that, but it's toys that we actually think they'll enjoy."
