"I love the concept of these gifts and my experience will not prevent me from using it in future but I did not find the experience user-friendly. Even with the sample ecard, I found it difficult to envisage which of the text I was entering would appear where on the card. I would have liked to see a preview of my actual card with text in place before I sent it. I got it completely wrong of course. The recipient received an email saying it was a gift from the credit card holder (my husband), which was not the name I gave as the sender (my son). As such I presume she deleted it and thought it was junk mail (she does not know my husband and wouldn't recognize his name) as she has not acknowledged receipt of it. She is a very polite person and would have responded immediately had she opened it! At least I know my money had gone to a good cause, but the gift recipient presumably thinks I didn't send anything."
"It would be nice to have receipts automatically emailed, or at least the ability to save them as .pdfs instead of only printing them at the end of a transaction. "
"Oxfam is a wonderful organization. In a world where we have too many "things" it's great to be able to enrich the lives of others who don't even have some of the necessities. Oxfam makes it quick and easy to do just that and their designs are clever and eye-catching. A donation to Oxfam has become my favorite gift to give!"
"Easy access, appreciate both the copy of the card you sent with the gift I purchased and the receipt with confirmation code. I liked that you had the tax ID # on your website as well."
"Love the broad range of gift ideas. And no matter how small it seems to be, it is has an impact. :)"
"The unwrapped website has never been my favorite. And I wish it were possible to add other causes to donate to i.e. emergency/disaster relief. I often want to parcel my donation among the Syrian relief crisis, S. Sudan, clean water, and others."
"I love being able to give a gift like this. "
"Oxfam is very user friendly. I was very satisfied with the experience. Is there a newsletter in existence that talks about how certain monetary donations are used? That would be interesting to see what areas monetary donations are used and, how they benefit those communities. "
"Oxfam Unwrapped is a great way to give gifts that truly give back."
"I like the new e-gift delivery format w/ the animation."
"Great way to give a meaningful gift at the last minute..."
"One out of the three recipients to whom I had requested an email card be sent, and making a contribution in their name, said they did not receive an e-card or other notice of the donation. She is still checking to see if it got into a spam or junk folder but thinks not. The other two have acknowledged receipt."
"the web site was easy to follow and to understand. I had a bit of a problem filling in my state from the drop down. It wouldn't let me click on Minnesota and I had to try several times"
"the Oxfam gift and mother's day e-card made the perfect gift for my mom. the website is easy to navigate and order processed quickly and without any problems. I love giving Oxfam gifts. Meaningful and easy."
"I got the vegetable garden gift for Mother's Day. My mom loved it and said that she enjoyed imagining what fruits and vegetables the recipients would plant. The website was very easy to use, and it is nice to have different options for cards. I also like that there are many different choices for gifts in different price ranges."
