7 Christmas Gifts for Someone Who Has Everything
Finding the perfect gift for someone who seems to have it all can be a struggle. Another gadget? They’ve got the latest. More clothes? Their closet’s overflowing. *Cue dramatic sigh* But what if we told you there’s a gift that won’t collect dust, won’t need to be returned, and might just make the world a teensy bit better? Oxfam Unwrapped charity gift cards are perfect for anyone who’s got plenty. These cards are the most adorable way to spread joy beyond your immediate gift-giving circle! Think of them as kindness in an envelope—adorable, meaningful, and guaranteed to bring smiles. The power of Unwrapped Christmas cards These aren’t your typical “I-didn’t-know-what-to-get-you” gift cards; they’re powerful little packages that transform into tangible support for people working their way out of poverty. Here’s how they work: Oxfam Unwrapped charity gift cards let you donate on your loved one’s behalf, supporting life-changing initiatives like empowering women, providing clean water, or helping improve access to healthcare. So, while your gift recipient gets to feel warm and fuzzy knowing they’ve helped make a difference, your tax-deductible donation is supporting Oxfam’s initiatives worldwide. It’s like hitting the thoughtful-gift jackpot – no wrapping paper required! What to get someone who has everything 1. Christmas Goat Gift Card SHOP NOW Pardon the pun, but our Christmas Goat gift card might just be the most baa-rilliant present you’ll give this year. When you choose this gift, you’re not just sending a cute card with a goat on it (though it IS pretty adorable); you’re contributing to Oxfam’s life-changing programs that help Timorese women transform from aspiring entrepreneurs into successful business owners. Here’s what makes this gift so special: Provides women with essential business training Opens doors to financial services and savings groups Creates sustainable income opportunities Builds business management skills Enables women to expand their enterprises over time As Ana, one of the program participants, puts it: “I felt a big change in my life… I could leave behind my life where I was unemployed and not productive to build a kiosk and continue to save money for my next dream.” Now, that’s what we call a Christmas miracle! 2. Christmas Fish Gift Card SHOP NOW “What did you get for Christmas?” “Oh, just helping protect an entire ecosystem and empowering local communities, NBD.” How’s that for a conversation starter? When you gift our Christmas Fish gift card, that’s precisely what your loved one may be a part of. Why? Because this present supports incredible women in Cambodia who are working hard to protect the Mekong River ecosystem. Here’s why this gift is off the hook: Supports sustainable fishing practices Helps protect endangered species Empowers women to become environmental leaders Contributes to vital research and monitoring Preserves precious ecosystems for future generations So, while others are probably unwrapping yet another pair of socks, your gift recipient will be part of a movement changing lives for communities that depend on healthy waterways to thrive. 3. Christmas Garden Gift Card SHOP NOW Ever wished you could give someone their slice of paradise? Well, this Christmas garden gift card comes pretty close! While it might not arrive in a wheelbarrow with a big red bow, it delivers something even better – the power to help families in refugee camps grow their own kitchen gardens. What blooms from this gift: Sustainable food sources for displaced families Income-generating opportunities Practical skills in farming and composting Women’s economic empowerment Stronger, more resilient communities So this Christmas, when your loved one opens their gift, they’ll be thrilled to know they’re part of a fantastic story helping families harvest not just food but also hope. 4. Christmas Duck Gift Card SHOP NOW Want to help create sustainable food solutions? Our Christmas Duck gift card could be the start of something amazing! This present funds Oxfam’s work in teaching communities the skills needed to start their own businesses, like farming. But the beauty of these programs lies in their ripple effect: Once families master farming techniques, they’re no longer dependent on external food sources. They become producers, growing enough to feed their families and often generating a surplus to sell. The income earned goes into community savings groups, allowing families to expand their agricultural ventures and help others do the same. This Christmas, give a gift that helps families feed themselves. Because when you help someone grow their own food, you’re helping them grow their independence, too. 5. Christmas Handloom Gift Card SHOP NOW Our Christmas Handloom gift card is the coolest way to make a difference without breaking a sweat. This present helps incredible entrepreneurs in Sri Lanka turn their creative skills into successful businesses. You see, running a small business in Sri Lanka comes with challenges—poor access to reliable market information, inefficient supply chains and poor or no storage facilities are just some of them. The handloom gift card changes all that. Here’s what makes this gift sew amazing: Shares business smarts Connects artisans to proper markets Helps turn creative talents into real income Creates opportunities for women who are often excluded in this community It’s perfect for that friend who keeps saying, “Please, no more stuff!” (We all have one!) 6. Christmas Chicken Gift Card SHOP NOW Looking for a pressie that’s less ‘here’s another thing’ and more ‘here’s hope for an entire family’? Our Christmas Chicken gift card is that gift. Choosing this means you’re funding Oxfam’s work, equipping women with business skills and savings plans. These programs allow families to save for future needs, whether children’s education or better healthcare. In short, here’s why this gift is egg-ceptional: It starts with chicken-raising skills and then grows into vegetable gardens with tomatoes, watermelons, and chillies. Before you know it, families are saving enough to invest in other ventures–-like goats, cows, and even small businesses! Think about it: while your mate’s kids are playing with their new toys this Christmas, the impact of your gift could be helping other kids get an education, access better healthcare, or watch their parents build a sustainable family business. 7. Christmas Cow Gift Card SHOP NOW For a present that’s udderly amazing this holiday season, pick our Christmas Cow gift card—a present that helps create powerful circles of women who lift each other up while building better futures for their families. It’s like making an investment club but with more impact and way less paperwork! Here’s why this gift creates such powerful ripples: Kickstarts women’s savings circles Creates supportive business networks Builds community safety nets Enables shared knowledge and resources Powers collective business dreams into reality So this summer, instead of adding to the pile of presents under someone’s Christmas tree, why not help build a circle of support that changes lives?
