A new Christmas card project has been launched in Bristol, which aims to raise money for a local kids charity.
All I Want For Christmas Cards sees 20 local artists and illustrators creating their own festive designs, which are being sold across the city.
The proceeds will go to Young Bristol, a citywide youth organisation which develops the skills of young people whilst building their confidence.
The cards cost £20 for 12 cards and are on sale in places like The Arnolfini.
They are also being sold in the MyYard Clothing store on Park Street and at the following markets, on the following dates:
The cards can also be purchased via the All I Want For Christmas Cards website.
Ben Steers is the director and organiser of the project. He told BBC Bristol's Steve Le Fevre that the project has been a long time in the making.
"We got in contact with local illustrators and artists and we asked them to design a card around the theme of All I Want For Christmas," he said.
"Apart from that the only inclusion that they had to do was include the colour red.
"We had a great response to the project and we then whittled it down to 20 designs - those 20 designs went onto cards and [were] placed with in the packs."
All the designers are local to the Bristol area and they range from established, well-known illustrators to lesser known ones who are starting out.
Kate Gough from Young Bristol told Steve that she is in full support of the project: "It was wonderful to get Ben to come to us and say he wanted to take this on, to raise money for Young Bristol.
"Ben has been working as a volunteer though our volunteering programme. It's fantastic, we're really delighted.
"We do support creativity through young people's work and for us to have a young person, like Ben, come forward and spread the Christmas message and spread the word for Young Bristol - it's fantastic."
As part of its work, Young Bristol runs a lot of youth clubs across the city in a bid to engage young people in positive activities.
