When you purchase an Oxfam Unwrapped birthday charity gift card, you’re not just giving a beautiful card that will impress and delight, you’re helping empower people living in poverty through opportunities that help them lift themselves up and into a brighter future. It’s a wonderful donation.

Our charity gift cards have something to suit every birthday person. Do you think they’re fin-tastic? Fulfil their birthday fishes with this card that helps families in the Mekong region protect their sustainable fishing livelihoods from the detrimental impacts of large-scale dam projects.
Or for pragmatic types, a Clean Water Gift that provides whole communities with safe drinking water might be more their style. This one takes the cake!
No matter what gift you choose, you’ll feel good knowing that you’ve given a charitable gift that provides twice or even thrice the birthday joy!
If you or your child has a birthday coming up and you’d prefer guests give a charity donation rather than a material gift, it can be difficult to know how to approach the situation.
Asking for things can be hard, but making your wishes clear in a polite and respectful manner avoids awkward situations and helps support Oxfam in our fight for a more just world.
The most tactful way to ask for a birthday donation is to include your request in the invitation. Explain that the presence of their company is present enough but if they wish to make a donation to Oxfam, that would bring you plenty of birthday joy! Simply provide a link to Oxfam Unwrapped so it’s easy for them to visit us and choose a gift for you. Because, hey! It’s sherbet day!
So next time you want to surprise someone on their birthday, why not give the gift of giving? With a birthday charity gift card, they can make an impact in more ways than one — and it will be remembered long after the cake has been eaten!
Your birthday gift will spread joy and help tackle global poverty.
“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,”
— Ana (pictured), farmer, Timor-Leste
Gifts like this contribute to Oxfam’s work around the world, including programs that equip women like Ana in Timor-Leste with the skills they need to start their own business. They could rear chickens or grow their own fruit and vegetables, including tomatoes, watermelons and chillies. The savings the women put aside through their savings groups could enable them and their families to invest in other farm animals such as goats, cows and pigs.
