Oxfam gifts - charity gifts from Oxfam

If you are looking for an innovative and creative gift or present, then you used to need to look no further than the Oxfam Unwrapped Gift Collection.

Oxfam gifts were a huge hit - but now there is a much wider range of charity gifts than those offered by Oxfam.

World Vision, Christian Aid and Practical Presents, have all launched schemes which enable you to buy gifts for those in the developing world on someone else's behalf.

In 2004 the charity set up the Oxfam Unwrapped collection which enables people to send goats, camels, cows, pigs and even toilets and school dinners to the developing world - as a present for Christmas, a wedding or birthday.

In 2005, the year of 'Making Poverty History', but also the years of terrible disasters, the charity Oxfam says that their gift scheme raised millions for the world's poorest people.

Oxfam is one of the world's leading relief, development and justice agencies. It is also one of the largest.

All the charities have a wide range of charity gifts - and something to suit every budget

When you send the Oxfam gifts on someone else's behalf, the charity sends a card to your loved one letting them know what you have done, with your personalised message.

You can now even set up your wedding, birthday or Christmas list online.

Oxfam's gift selection is now several years old. The results are admirable as well as ethical. Thousands around the world have already benefited from Oxfam gifts. Oxfam gifts are promoted by Oxfam around the world from Oxfam Ireland to Oxfam Australia.

“The Oxfam Unwrapped gift vouchers are designed to be innovative, informative and fun,” said Douglas Graham, new products manager at Oxfam gifts. “We are often stumped by what to give at Christmas, so why not give a mosquito net, a school chair and desk, or even a beehive to someone in need? The beauty of these alternative gifts is anyone giving or receiving knows that a specific sum is being spent on a specific item or service.

“Original Christmas presents are hard to find – we’re offering interesting and novel gifts that will help a good cause at the same time. They have been carefully chosen and are tried and tested aspects of Oxfam’s everyday work to help people around the world. Every gift makes a difference whether you spend £10 or £200.”
