If you’re stuck for a gift for Fathers Day, and bored of the usual socks and hankies, look no further than the fun and unusual gifts on offer in the Oxfam Unwrapped Spring/Summer catalogue.
Launched in 2004, and having since sold over 1,000,000 gifts, Oxfam Unwrapped is still a novel solution to finding original presents – and beating poverty and suffering at the same time. Customers can choose from over fifty gift ideas which have been identified as essential by the poor communities Oxfam works with around the world.
So for Fathers Day this year, rather than buying novelty gifts that will be redundant by Monday why not show Dad how much you really care and give a gift that will last a little longer.
Toilets - Give a potty present and buy Dad a toilet (£30)! Installed by experts, they prevent disease from spreading
Allotment - Green fingered gardening fans might like to plant an allotment (£24) so people can feed themselves and their families
Food growing packs - If the way to dad’s heart is through his stomach then these packs contain essential tools, farming tips, grains and seeds to help farmers start growing again after disaster strikes (£65)
The catalogue is available from oxfamunwrapped.com , in Oxfam’s 750 shops, by calling 0870 410 50 30 or by using the postal order form in our catalogue. Oxfam Unwrapped should be the first choice for anyone looking for fun and unusual presents that will make a difference.
