Gift Guide: Wild Things
While gifts that give back have become an essential part of our holiday shopping lists, sometimes it’s difficult to find the perfect thing for the little ones in your life. Give your favorite budding zoologist what he or she really wants this year by supporting one of these four causes. Each one comes with a present that’s sure to make your animal lover squeal with joy.
Help spread cheer at the North Pole by adopting a sweet arctic fox through the National Wildlife Federation. The adoption kit comes with a plush animal, certificate of adoption, color poster, and power binoculars with a carrying case.
For something a bit more exotic, get your mini-explorer a real jungle book by purchasing one of the gorgeous picture books from Save the Rhino. A portion of the proceeds goes to protecting the remaining 300 Sumatran rhinos.
Baby animals are always cute, but baby snow leopards? Extra-adorable. Adopt a cub for just $50 from the Snow Leopard Trust and your little cub will receive a plush toy, a subscription to the Snow Leopard Tracks newsletter, and a personalized certificate.
Finally, there are dozens of choices at the World Wildlife Fund, where you can sponsor a range of critters, from an orca whale to an Atlantic puffin. Whether your child is into bears or butterflies, there’s a little snuggly something for everyone here.
Which critter do you think your child would love?
