Black Friday can feel overwhelming. Endless deals and pressure to buy can make it easy to lose sight of what matters.

At Oxfam, we believe Black Friday can be about shopping more thoughtfully. Featuring a mix of one-of-a-kind finds and carefully sourced products we've rounded up 20 of our favourite gift ideas for 2026.

Christmas shopping on Black Friday

At a time when many of us are searching for the perfect Christmas gifts, or hunting for a thoughtful bargain you can still choose to give pre-loved treasures, shop ethically-made Sourced by Oxfam products, and support our mission with every purchase.

If you're already shopping for Christmas gifts, Black Friday can also be a great opportunity to pick up cards, decorations and other festive essentials at the same time.

So, with your budget set and list at the ready, it's time to start the fun bit – shopping!
