Oxfam Unwrapped

What is Oxfam Unwrapped?

Oxfam Unwrapped is our range of charity gifts or charity donation gifts that support Oxfam’s work around the world. But what’s an Oxfam charity gift? It’s the gift of donation to honour and celebrate your loved ones while contributing to a fairer world.

With 15 specially designed gift and virtual gift options, each gift highlights an example of Oxfam’s vital work. Whether you donate through Unwrapped in shops or online, you are helping fund essential programs like Stronger Communities, Climate Justice, and Valuing Women’s Work.

Each physical charity gift includes unique artwork for you or your loved ones to keep, collect, or frame as a lasting reminder of the difference their gift is making. It also comes with a leaflet that provides an insightful glimpse into the programs your donation supports. Likewise, you can send our virtual gifts instantly to your loved ones, each accompanied by a heartfelt message showing how their gift makes a meaningful impact in our key areas of work.

About our Brand

At Oxfam Unwrapped, we aim to represent those gifts that cannot be wrapped, like the positive feeling that comes from doing good, the hug you give to your love ones at Christmas, the smile they give to you in return, the impact we can make together. Because ‘the best gifts in life are Unwrappable’. And better yet, Unwrapped charity gifts support communities around the world fight poverty and tackle inequalities, building a radically better future for all of us.

Unwrapped has more than a vibrant new look

Each gift now features unique, beautiful artwork, along with a detailed leaflet explaining its impact, from rebuilding lives after disasters to valuing women’s work and combating climate change. Designed to resonate with supporters, the new range offers various donation options, making it easier for you to support at a level that’s right for you. With bold designs and meaningful causes behind every gift, Unwrapped is a thoughtful way to make an impact while bringing a smile to your loved ones.

When buying online, during checkout, if you restrict your support, the amount raised will go to the area of work where the chosen project belongs, i.e. Stronger Communities, Climate Justice or Valuing Women’s Work. If you un-restrict your purchase, your support will go to where Oxfam’s work needs funds the most. In shops all the donations are restricted to specific areas of Oxfam's work to ensure they support the chosen area of work. This allows supporters to know where their contributions are making an impact.

Oxfam ensures that the majority of your donation goes to fund projects similar to those showcased in our gifts. A small portion of the Unwrapped funds are unrestricted by some of our supporters, allowing for flexible use across any of Oxfam’s initiatives. This unrestricted portion is primarily chosen by supporters who buy online and opt to un-restrict their donation at checkout.
