About the 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 women’s empowerment and combating climate change. Designed to resonate with supporters, the new range offers various price points, making it easier for you to contribute 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.

Frequently asked questions
What is a charity gift?
A charity gift is a contribution made to a charity or cause on behalf of someone else as a gift. The buyer donates to a charity in their loved ones’ name and honours them with a meaningful gift that benefits a cause or community that needs support.
How does Oxfam Unwrapped work?
You choose a gift from our range, and the funds from your purchase go towards supporting Oxfam's projects worldwide.
What kind of gifts can I find in the Unwrapped range?
Our range includes gifts that support rebuilding lives after a disaster, advocating for climate justice, empowering women to take control of their lives, and more. Our new Unwrapped gifts are currently available in physical form exclusively in our shops. Stay tuned for the exciting online launch, where you’ll have even more ways to give meaningful gifts that create lasting impact.
Can I personalise my Unwrapped gift?
Yes, you can personalise your gift by adding a message to your loved one when you make your purchase.
How do I purchase an Unwrapped gift?
You can currently purchase our existing range of Unwrapped cards and e-cards in any of our Oxfam shops or online through our Oxfam Online Shop. However, you’ll find the new range exclusively in shops for now.
What can I buy on the online shop?
For now, we will continue selling the existing range of cards and e-cards in the online shop. However, we aim to start offering the new range online in 2025.
How will my gift be delivered?
If you buy online, you can choose to have your gift delivered as a physical gift or as a virtual gift via email.
Can I choose where my donation goes?
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.
How much of my donation goes directly to the projects?
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.
Can I purchase Unwrapped gifts for special occasions?
Absolutely! Unwrapped gifts make perfect presents for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and other special occasions.
