Supporting ethical gift buying this Christmas?

Looking for gifts for those that need nothing new, or those that have it all already?

Overwhelmed by the plethora of ‘Stuff’ out there, expensive chemical laden perfumes, lead covered toys – global warming cars?

Take a moment and consider giving a real present, a gift of giving to someone who needs it more and put a few good karma credits on your soul journey rather than join the masses in the consumer frenzy of the year.

For as little as $12 you can buy some chickens for an improvised village or a goat ($45) for an entire family or a compost toilet for $50 - the gift of giving is yours.

Watch the video and then go to Oxfam New Zealand to discover the joy of ethical consuming - the true giving spirit.
