Holiday Shopping Alternatives

Blogging live from our UCC booth! (jealous?)

Today Oxfam is chilling in the UCC CentreSpot making hemp bracelets, beaded necklaces, recycled Christmas card gift boxes, origami ninja stars (thanks Mike), decorated t-shirts and other arts and crafts to provide students with no-cost gift alternatives for the holiday season.

Also available is information about holiday charity donations, Arts for Aids prints, and other wicked gift ideas that can make a difference in the world. It's been an interesting afternoon full of finger cramps and pwning n00bs. All in the spirit of Buy Nothing Day!

Big thank you to everyone who stopped by!

Woot! Hot stuff! (no, literally, it was the warmest day in October...on Concrete Beach. We discovered why it's called a beach, that sun gets hot!) Everyone's hard work paid off! Thanks guys!

No Sweat Success

A little late, but a big thanks should go out to all the Oxfamers that helped out with the No Sweat Fashion Show, it wouldn't have been as fun without you guys!
