Okay, you might not want that crown and I might be exaggerating a bit You're thinking, "Listen, I'm just looking to buy a great gift with real reward." But as you flick through the pages and peruse the incredible life-changing gifts, remember that by choosing to purchase a gift from this catalogue, you will be joining hundreds of thousands of others, all of whom have contributed to ending injustice and world poverty.

I'm glad you asked. When you buy an Oxfam Unwrapped gift, your donation helps support Oxfam Australia's life­changing work around the world. And the person for whom you are buying said gift rece ives a sensational gift card explaining how their gift is helping others.

Oh you I We don't actually ship goats or any animals overseas, but all Oxfam Unwrapped gifts are real items that

we use to fight poverty. Most gifts in the catalogue are already located in the country where we are working, so they're not impacting on our global footprint eitherl

When you purchase an Oxfam Unwrapped gift card, your tax-deductible donation will fund a range of projects that your gift represents. For example, when you buy gifts such as a goat, a couple of goats, a goat family, farmer education, a farmer's pack, food basket, fruit trees, seeds, "Two ducks, a pig and a goat" or a veggie garden, you'll be contributing to our agriculture projects.

Or, if you purchase an Aboriginal health card, Aboriginal women's circle, an aeroplane, Aussie Rules footy, breakfast for a child, clean water, a cooking stove, midwife essentials, orphan care, safe refuge for women, water for a school or a well, you will be funding our health projects.

To support our education projects, you just need to purchase the gift of a Straight Talk card, guitar lessons, notepads and pens, literacy classes or toys.

AIASKET OF GOOD If you, like most of us, think a hamper

c is the go-to gift for someone difficult to buy fo r, may I present to you the ult imate gift hamperl This food basket gift card not only provides food to poor communities in Sri Lanka, it also brings together diverse ethnic communities and promotes mutual understanding and respect. See if you can pick one up at a department store that can do that.

Food basket - UW89

CUNNING PLOT Everyone loves vegetables and this card has some right on the cover. What's more, when you buy th is card you'll help a South Af ri ca n community beat malnutri tion by planting a plot of beetroots, spinach, carrots, onions and pot atoes.

GOAT FAMILY What's better than one goat that can provide orphans in Mozambique with nutritious milk and an education? Four goats.

Goat family- UW90

SEEDS "I don't think they'll appreciate seeds as a giftl " I hear you t ut. But hang on I Recall, if you will, a boy who thought he'd gotten a raw deal when he was given seeds. His name was Jack and if you remember, he was in fact thrilled by a very large beansta lk. And these seeds are sort of magical too. They will be giving a family in Sr i Lanka the leg-up they need to st art their own home-gardening business. And they're only 10 bucks.

Seeds- UWOS

MONEY GlOWS ON TREES This card doesn't ju st get you one poverty­busting fruit tree, it gets you plenty­delivered to a village where they're needed most. These fruit trees, such as guava, papaya and coconut, can be harvested to raise funds for the community. Let's see soap on a rope do that.

Fru it trees- UW02

GIVE THE GIFT OF GOAT A hoofed animal of any sort is a highly unexpected gift. And Oxfam's goats have four magnificent hooves. Some even come with udders. Not on ly does a goat make a great card, but a goat can save a fami ly from pove rty. They can breed to create more goats, provide milk for the f am ily's nutrition, and they can even be sold to pay for school fees or too ls.

Goat- UWOl

TWO DUCKS. A PIG ANDA GOAT Give someone this little bundle of joy and you'll be giving a communit y a source of milk, eggs, garbage disposal [pigs), pest control [ducks) and of course, more little ducks, pigs and goats they can then sell for an income.

Two ducks, a pig and a goat- UWBO

FARM SKILLS Know someo ne with a gree n thumb? Or even som eone who is such a bad gardener they could kill a cactus? Well this gift of farming training is perfect for both of them. It will be helping someone in East Timor gain the ski lls needed t o harvest a sustaina ble crop that wi ll prov ide for the ir famil ies and help them earn an income.

N GUITAR LESSONS Do you have a frien d who thinks they are great at guitar an d wou ld be insulted by the thought of lessons? Then this card cou ld be perfect. You'll both get a laugh out of it, plus it will pay for underprivileged kids in Vanuatu to attend a youth centre and learn the guitar.

TOYS Some gifts are more meaning fu l than others. This is one of those. Buy this card and some refugee kids in South Africa will receive toys and educational mater ials that will help them get a better start in life.

Toys- UW74

GEniNGIT STRAIGHT Th is card is helping to raise the voices and increase the polit ical know-how of Abor iginal and Tor res Strait Islander women to bring about lasting social cha nge . Stra ight Talk is the most exciting thing to happen in Canbe rra fo r years, huh?

Straight Talk- UW93

. SCHOOL'S IN! Some people loved high school, others did not. And then there are the others that sim ply didn't get the chance to go. This card helps provide note pads and pens for vocational training classes for people in East Timor. So as they learn to farm and fish, they are also learning to read and writel

Note pads and pens- UW91

AN EE·AWESOME GIFT Want to give an unforgettable present this year? Yeah you do! I know what you're saying: "My f ri end's already got donkeys. Tonnes actually." We ll, never fear, th is donkey is be ing used to help people who have lost everyt hing in an emergency. Donkeys can carry large loads of sup plies for people getting back on thei r feet. A kick-ass gift for those who want to make a rea l difference.

A MOSSIE NET? Everyone has a friend or loved one who comp lains about being ter ro rised by mosquitoes. This is the perfect gift card for them. The ir card will pay for a mosquito net to be given t o a family threatened by malari a. And surely your fri end will apprec iate that gesture more than most.

Massie net- UW19

FLOAT YOUR IOAT Most people get socks as gifts. Not many get canoes. Which is su rpr ising because canoes are so practical. Especially in the Pacific, where they are used to quickly get supplies to people after a natural disaster. This canoe will make sure everyone stays safe and that communities can begin rebuild ing their lives.

Canoe - UWSB

SOLAR LIGHT When the power has gone out after a disaster, how many times have you and your f riends uttered, "I wish I had a square, hand­he ld, durable, non-battery-powered solar light so that I could simply see what is t wo feet in front of mel" Probably never. Ma ke sure nobody has to say this again by buying th is card. We'll make sure the lights get to t he right peop le soon after disaster strikes.

Solar light- UW92

SMALL GRACES Thi s card is providing families who have lost almost everything in an emergency with small gra ces like soap, shampoo and sarongs that help the m keep the ir heads up in the face of adversity. It's a much better gift than the furry toilet seat cover you bought and tucked away six months ago. Before you even begin to try and argue, stop. Thi s kit is better.

CALVES MAKE GREAT

Yep, it might look expensive but this gift is actually amazin g value. You not only get to give someone a cute card, but you also get to tra nsform the life of a family living in poverty. Cows provide manure, milk, transportation and th e ab ility to create a herd. This humble calf is one of the world's biggest weapons in the fight against povert y.

Calf- UW57

Q Let's face it this one is not a hard sell. After baby penguins, ducks are without doubt t he cutest of birds. What's mo re, this duck is help ing a fam ily in Bangladesh by prov iding them with nutriti ous eggs that they can eat or sell at the market for cash that can be spent on an education . You're already on li ne buying one, aren't you?

REALLY. REALLY EXPENSIVE GIFTS TAKEOFF! This card is helping doctors take to the skies to visit the sick and heavily­pregnant patients in remote areas of Papua New Guinea- which I'm sure wi ll be a better-apprec iated gift than the three-pack of tea t owels you were thinking of getting.

WHAT'S A liCE lANK? A rice bank is a bank that lends rice instead of money. This helps poor villagers in Laos avoid paying hefty interest on loans during periods of food shortage. Buy this card and you're helping build one of those. All your accountant friends will love this one.

WATEl·OUALITY TESTING l<IT This is probably the most expensive gift card in the world. Fortunately it comes with a state-of-the-art wa ter-quality testing kit, which ca n help monitor water quality in a natural disaster. This gift is one of the foundation stones of any emergency effort.
