Take a stand against the horror of rubbish presents – do your festive shopping with Oxfam Unwrapped.

It's a simple idea: rather than the usual xmas tat, buy someone a gift related to Oxfam's work and make a real difference to the world. This year there's even more to choose from, including fertiliser (the gift of dung), condoms to fight HIV and AIDS, and even a toilet. Go on, give a loo to the world.

With gifts starting at £5 there's something for everyone, here are some highlights:
