Oxfam Unwrapped: New website, new categories, new gifts!

But there is no need to go out in this weather to do your shopping this year. Just wrap yourself up in a blanket and head to Oxfam Unwrapped to pick out some great gifts that give twice.

It must be the holiday season, it’s even snowing in Vancouver! 

But there is no need to go out in this weather to do your shopping this year. Just wrap yourself up in a blanket and head to Oxfam Unwrapped to pick out some great gifts that give twice.

You select the item, choose who to send the card to and Oxfam does the rest.

Your Unwrapped shopping experience is going to be even simpler this year.  We’ve redesigned our website to allow you to quickly find the perfect gift for the perfect recipient in the perfect price range. 

For the environmentalists on your list, we’ve got green gifts! Like a bicycle.  Or organic gardening.  Or a set of solar panels. And many more gifts that will delight your greenest friends and loved ones.

For the animal lovers on your list, we’ve got animal gifts!  These fluffy and fuzzy presents are especially good for children.  Who wouldn’t love to know they were sending a goat overseas?  Or a sheep?  Or a flock of chickens?   We’ve even got beehives this year!

For the teachers on your list, we’ve got educational gifts!  Like the chance to help send girls to school.  Or to provide a set of eight text books.  Or offer community health training.  And many more gifts that will be meaningful to those who’ve dedicated their lives to helping others learn. 

Take some time to browse around the site, and consider making your own wishlist while you’re there! We’ve made them very easy to share on your Facebook and Twitter accounts, and that will help let folks know that what you’re looking for this holiday season is an end to poverty.

Please join our Facebook group for regular updates. And happy shopping.
