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.
I spent way too much time hunting through sites full of pop-ups and annoying hover-advertising to find you the cutest free coloring pages for Halloween. As far as I know, none of these are on sites with pop-ups. Enjoy!
My children would probably find this Zombie Bear by Mariska to be strange and hilarious. Call me crazy, but I love that you can pull the intestines out.
The boys sure do love their Mimi. Yesterday, we visited Aiden’s class for their Grandparent’s Day party. We enjoyed juice, cookies, and a little song that they learned especially for the occasion.
Mimi is Jamie’s mom and she lives right across the field from us. Her house is the first one on our family road. Next is Jamie’s Gramma’s house, then our house, then Jamie’s brother’s house. The rest of the road is mostly cousins and a few non-family members. There’s no shortage of family around here, that’s for sure.
I didn’t grow up with grandparents who lived nearby. My dad’s parents lived in Apple Valley, which was about 45 minutes from our house in California, and my mom’s mom lived in South Carolina. When we moved to GA, we were a lot closer to my mom’s mom, so we get to see a lot more of her than we ever did when I was a child.
I love that my boys have their Mimi and that they see her at least once a week. They love being able to walk to her house to visit, swim in her pool, and have fun. They don’t get to see my mom quite as often because she lives in town, but they still love going to visit so they can have dance parties on her sun porch and swing on the tire swing.
I might be biased, but my kids have the coolest grandparents around.
