Books Can Be the Most Thoughtful Gift
Books are undoubtedly one of the most popular Christmas gifts. But if you find something unique and personal, a book can become the most thoughtful gift they’ll receive this year. There’s so much to discover within Oxfam’s amazing range of second hand books. Maybe an autographed copy from their favourite author, a comic from their childhood or even first editions and collectables.
The Moomin collection
Nothing says unusual like the charming and loveable characters created by Finnish author and illustrator Tove Jansson. If, like me, you're a fan of the Mommins, we have a collection of Moomin gifts, where you'll find a range of colourful and fun gifts for all. From the useful Moomin travel thermos to the exclusive Moomin landscape medium plant pot featuring a beautiful scene of Moominvalley.
Give the gift of vintage
Give thoughtful gifts that go beyond Christmas. Why not inspire your loved ones to collect vintage this year! We have it all, from vintage board games to women's vintage clothing and even vintage sewing patterns or knitting patterns. We also have an amazing range of second hand instruments and accessories, and for the real vintage aficionado, we have our vintage collectables collection.

Oxfam’s range of vinyl is full of hidden gems from vintage vinyl to hip hop & rap and everything in between. We have a range of collectables for people with special interests like classical, opera and popera, reggae & ska and dance.
