Wish List: Ideas for the prefect quirky Christmas gift

A rainbow rug handmade in India and ‘smart’ toothbrushes would make quirky Xmas gifts, says Esther N McCarthy.

This vibrant, circular rainbow rug is handmade in India, using recycled fabric and jute and is €17 from Oxfam stores. All their Fair Trade and ethically-sourced gifts help to change lives and the charity says that these gifts are raising vital funds for Oxfam’s work across the world, from development projects in Rwanda and Tanzania to saving lives in places like Yemen.
