The store is hoping to appeal to shoppers in the run-up to Christmas with unwrapped cards including the gift of a goat or clean water, along with new items like Fair Trade chocolates, decorations and stocking fillers. Wrapping paper and Christmas cards are also available.

Oxfam Tralee shop manager Edward Raynor said: “Christmas is a crucial time for Oxfam Ireland with emergency relief being provided to refugees in conflict zones along with long-term projects helping families lift themselves out of extreme poverty and hunger.

“We hope people in Tralee and the surrounding area will support our work this Christmas and help raise vital funds to continue Oxfam’s work. This includes providing clean water in countries like Syria and Iraq and supporting vulnerable unaccompanied children arriving in Europe.

“With gifts that give back starting at just €1 for personalised worry dolls and from €5 for an Unwrapped card supporting cocoa farmers, there really is something for everyone. You can tick off your Christmas list with stocking-fillers, festive essentials and thoughtful present ideas that will be sure to please your family and friends – and help people further afield in crisis and poverty.”
