What Kind of Gift Giver Are You?

13 Jan 2025

What kind of gift giver are you? (Don’t worry, this isn’t one of those personality quizzes that’ll tell you which sandwich you are! )

Are you the super-organised type with pressies wrapped and ribboned by August? Or the last-minute sprinter who thrives on Christmas Eve adrenaline? Maybe you’re the wild card who shows up with a goat—well, not literally, but close enough.

Whether you’re all about practicality or going entirely over the top, Unwrapped has the perfect gift to match your vibe.

Perfect Pressies for Every Type of Giver

The Thoughtful Giver 

You’re the one who puts your whole heart into gift-giving—the friend who remembers not just birthdays but the little details that make everyone feel special. For you, a present isn’t just a present but a way to show you care and make a real difference in someone’s life.

Our Safe Refuge for Women gift card is perfect for those who, like you, believe everyone deserves to feel secure and cared for. This present helps provide women and families with a haven away from violence – because sometimes the greatest gift is simply knowing you’re protected.

Speaking of care, our Menstrual Supplies gift card is another beautiful way to show your compassionate spirit. This gem helps women and girls maintain their dignity when it matters most, such as during crises or disasters. 

The Minimalist Giver 

Less is more, right? You’re the one who knows that the most meaningful gifts don’t need all the bells and whistles. You believe in quality over quantity, and that’s why you’re ditching the fast fashion frenzy, which is not eco-friendly and probably made in sweatshops.

The Clean Water gift card is a perfect fit. It’s minimalism at its finest – because what could be more minimalist than clean, fresh water? This gift helps provide jerry cans of clean water to people displaced by conflict, plus training in sanitation and hygiene. A simple yet powerful way to change lives—exactly your style.

Then there’s the Honey gift card, which supports green business initiatives like sustainable honey production. It’s minimalist, impactful, and oh-so-meaningful, just the way you like it.

The Eco-Friendly Giver

You’re all about gifts that give back to the planet or, at least, not make it worse. Your motto is to leave the world a little greener and a lot better than you found it. For you, sustainable gifts are non-negotiable, and Unwrapped’s eco-friendly options are right up your alley.

Our Fish gift card, for example, helps people living in poverty create their own sustainable food source and income. In Cambodia, you’ll be supporting amazing environmental champions working alongside researchers to monitor fish populations and keep watch over endangered species in the mighty Mekong River.

The Garden gift card is another eco-gem you’ll adore! It provides training on growing kitchen gardens, composting, and sustainable farming to people living in poverty. 

The Over-The-Top Giver

When it comes to gift-giving, “Go big or go home” is your mantra. You love to wow, surprise, and make a statement—and Unwrapped’s bundles are here to help you take it to the next level.

The Practical Giver

You’re the gift giver who believes gifts should work hard and make sense—something useful, meaningful, and packed with purpose. No novelty socks or random gadgets gathering dust on your watch! So, we offer Unwrapped’s practical picks like our Cow, Duck and Chicken gift cards.

These animals are helping women launch their farming enterprises. Through Oxfam’s program, they learn to raise livestock and grow fresh produce, and through smart savings groups, they expand into raising larger livestock like goats and pigs.

The Last Minute Giver

You’re the one who firmly believes inspiration strikes at the eleventh hour (or maybe you just work better under pressure?). Either way, we’ve got your back!

Meet your new best friend: our Goat gift card. It’s the crowd-favourite that definitely won’t give away your last-minute shopping habits. This little beauty is our most popular gift for good reason—it’s basically a business starter kit wrapped up in an adorable package. Through this present, programs like our Resilient and Gender Inclusive Enterprise Systems project take flight, and women learn all the skills they need to turn their small businesses into profitable ventures.

The One Gift for the Whole Family Giver

You’re the type of gift giver who can’t leave ANYONE out. Nan, Pop, the kids, your sister’s new boyfriend, and don’t forget the family dog! When you need everyone in the family to feel special – but don’t want to spend weeks hunting down individual presents – our bundles are here to save the day.

First up is our Agriculture Bundle. These gift cards help provide communities with the training, tools, and skills they need to turn farming into a thriving business.
