How does Oxfam gift giving work?
- Choose a charitable gift from among the many on the Oxfam Unwrapped website. Some examples are a cow, a vegetable garden, books for kids and a dozen chicks.
- A card with the image of your gift will be sent to your friend or loved one. You can personalize it if you want.
- Your gift will be sent to the people that need it most. It will help those living in poverty make a better life for themselves.
Aziz Ansari, comedian and actor in the TV series Parks and Recreation has made a video to help explain and promote Oxfam Gifts. Check it out:

This is a very wonderful gift to give. I know I would like to receive it in lieu of one more thing that I don't need!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!! I wish more companies would offer this.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea. I like that they can also help someone in need while at the same time you can give a gift to someone on your list.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to help people in need!
ReplyDeleteI have never given a charity donation as a gift for another person, but I have heard a lot about doing it this year. I have finished my holiday shopping, but I may still make a donation.
