Looking for a gift with a difference? Try Oxfam Unwrapped!

Friends getting married? You could buy them another toaster for their collection but how good would it be to buy them a pair of goats that could help a poor community?

Celebrating the birth of a new baby? You could buy a teddy bear but wouldn't it be great to train a midwife to work in Africa?

And what about that present to mark exam success? You could buy a nice pen - or you could kit out five children with new school equipment and have the satisfaction of knowing that they now have a chance to get an education and break free from the cycle of poverty.

Visit the Oxfam Unwrapped Website for the full catalogue or ask in the shop for a printed version.

A large selection of the gifts can now be purchased direct from the Oxfam Hertford Bookshop.
