 is putting goats and mosquito nets on his Christmas shopping list.

Rhys is supporting his local Oxfam shop - and urging people in Cardiff to buy a more unusual "Oxfam Unwrapped" gift this year.

The unique gifts include a toilet (pounds 50), five bags of seeds (pounds 10), eight schoolbooks (pounds 6) or an animal house and food (pounds 18). The actual gifts go to the Third Word, while the buyers get a special card and fridge magnet.

Rhys said: "It's a great 'feel-good' Christmas present for someone. I will be buying some of the players a goat this Christmas!"

And Rhys is sure that the Oxfam Unwrapped gifts will be a hot topic of discussion in the Blues dressing room: He added: "I think the boys will find some fun in buying something so unusual for their friends and family from Unwrapped. How else would you give a camel or a toilet as a present?

"What's really great, though, is that these gifts make a massive difference to people's lives."

  • Steve Brooks (jockey), American Hall of Fame jockey
  • Steve Brooks (singer), American folk singer/songwriter
 said: "Oxfam Unwrapped has solved so many gift dilemmas over the years and has made such a difference in supporting Oxfam's work. At a time when people want to make their money go further, buying an Unwrapped gift is the perfect solution."

The Oxfam Unwrapped Christmas catalogue is available at all Oxfam Cymru shops or by calling 0300 200 1252. Shoppers can also visit www.oxfamunwrapped.com. Orders must be placed by December 21 to allow time for delivery.
