Are there any other major charities that do something like Oxfam Unwrapped?

[_V_]

This year I am planning on buying friends gifts related to charity.

I know of Oxfam Unwrapped but are there others who offer Christmas gifts in the form of charitable donations on other peoples behalf?

The Labour party?

There are quite a few that now do it, but I can't think of many off the top of my head

Present Aid and World Vision certainly do. There was an article in the Guardian on Saturday about it, so there may be more links there.

Yep if your friends/family are older, well-off and have loads of stuff or are religious.

Back on point loads of charities do this now i.e save the children, unicef, nspcc, farm africa.

Instead of giving the money to some rich middle class khoont who has everything you give to the poor, and then tell the rich middle class khoont "I didn't get you anything cos you're a rich middle class khoont. hth".
