Oxfam Unwrapped: Charitable Gifting
Posted by: Lizzie
This holiday season, why not get your loved ones a gift from Oxfam Unwrapped? It’s not just a donation to charity, it’s a gift for someone in need.
How does it work?
- Browse the Oxfam Unwrapped website and pick your gift
- Your loved one will receive a personalized card
- Your donation will go to the people who need it
You can choose your gifts by price, occasion, recipient, or cause. For example, if you’d like to get a gift for a knitter, you could purchase a pair of sheep that will allow women to earn their own income and the wool will be used to make local textiles. A soap purchase of only $12 will supply a community with 20 pounds of soap, or you can purchase a mosquito net for a family for only $18. My sister had a case of malaria while in Cameroon, so I bet this would be a great donation in her honor.
Not only can you choose from a variety of gifts, you can see how your gifts are helping others in the Gifts in action section of the site.
So if you’re thinking of giving a charitable gift this season, please consider Oxfam Unwrapped. You’ll be glad you did.
I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Oxfam America Unwrapped and received a credit for a gift on the Oxfam site.

Hi
I have written about shopping for gifts at Oxfam Unwrapped – for the UK site – http://www.pastymuncher.co.uk/charity-gift-tags/
I was wondering where you have the credit on the Oxfam American Unwrapped site – sounds pretty good.
