With the holiday season creeping (more like catapulting) closer on the horizon, gift giving and receiving can be on the mind. While in theory gifts are given and received out of love, that doesn’t always mean that you love the gift.
OxFam has come up with a creative campaign called Say ‘No’ To The Horror of Rubbish Presents! (Click on the photo or link for the cute, short, advert.) Their approach is remind people what good their money can do in the place of unwanted or unneeded gifts.
For those of you less familiar with Oxfam, it is a British development, relief, and campaigning organisation that works with others to overcome poverty and suffering around the world.
There are all sorts of creative ways that your money can help others in need. For instance:
Manage A Forest
Provide Training
Provide the Gift of Water
Provide an Education
Buy a Goat!
& So much more!
So this year, think before you buy someone a potentially rubbish present!
Happy Holidays!

P.S. For those less familiar with British terminologies, we are talking about rubbish, crap, and shite presents!
