Choose Love store has opened in Soho, London. In this store people don't shop for themselves, instead shoppers buy gifts for refugees.
The shop asks people to, "Shop your heart out and leave with nothing and feel the love." Shoppers can purchase sleeping bags, blankets and solar-powered lamps, also people can pay for legal advice, help with family reunions or mental health care.
This is the second year the shop has opened. Last year Choose Love raised £750,000 for refugees, paying for 800,000 meals and over 3000 nights of accommodation.
