Xmas gifts with a difference from Oxfam Unwrapped

Forget stripy socks, shower gel gift packs, chocolate selection boxes, cheap Boots perfume, out-of-date annuals, inappropriate woolly jumpers, books you'll never read, gift vouchers for shops you'll never shop in, singing Elvis toys, CDs from relatives who think Cliff Richard is "current" - in fact, forget everything that is naff about Christmas and tell people to get something from Oxfam Unwrapped this year.

You probably know how it works - instead of the usual Xmas tat, you get your nearest and dearest a gift related to Oxfam's work and make a real difference to the world. And this year you can get some seriously good stuff - from the cute and the cuddly (think alpacas, goats and donkeys), to the healthy and homely (think toilets, safe water and condom kits), and loads more besides.

So check out the gifts you can get your mates and family - there are some great presents priced between £5 and £20 (for those of us on a tight budget!). Or why not club together with your friends (or organise a special fundraising event) and get one of the bigger gifts - like essential medicines for a whole village...

So forget the inappropriate-giftwrapped-stripy-shower-gel-selection-box this Christmas, and get something amazing from Oxfam Unwrapped instead.
