Rhodri buys Charity gifts for Christmas
Local Assembly Member Rhodri Glyn Thomas has purchased ‘Oxfam Unwrapped’ presents for friends and family for Christmas this year. Not your typical run of the mill Christmas gift ideas; but original gifts from the Oxfam Unwrapped catalogue.
Launched in 2004, and having raised more than £60m funding projects in more than 60 countries, Oxfam Unwrapped is the largest range of virtual charity gifts on the market. It’s a novel solution to finding original Christmas presents – and beating poverty and suffering at the same time with more than 65 gifts on offer. It’s the perfect way to please those hard to buy for friends and relatives – fanatical DIY dads, aunts with green fingers or fussy friends who seem to have everything. An Oxfam Unwrapped gift gets back to the heart of giving at Christmas, helping those in need rather than adding to our yuletide indulgence.
Commenting about his novel choice of Christmas presents this year, Rhodri s
aid:
“I’ve been buying Oxfam Unwrapped as Christmas gifts for years now and they’ve never failed to bring a smile to people’s faces. This way I know I’m getting the best value for my money and somebody somewhere is really benefiting from the gift. In a way you’re giving two presents for the price of one and could be making a lasting difference to somebody’s life.”
