Gifts for Animal Lovers
If you've got an animal lover in your life, you're spoilt for choice! There are so many different types of gifts to choose from, for all sorts of budgets, so here are some animals and gift ideas for them.
For Highland Cow lovers, there are some great gifts including Adopt a Highland Cow from the Wildlife Trust BCN. (You don't have the cow at home with you.)
Give a real bear a gift with a hammock, or a bear cub gift, or a paddling pool - these bears have been rescued and they are in Cambodia, or Laos or Vietnam.
Yes, you read that right - these gifts are partly made from elephant poo! Notebooks, photo albums, memo pads - there's even a stationery set. From real elephants. Honestly!
For puffin lovers
There's nothing like the comical expression of a puffin - just adorable! Did you know a puffin has one mate for life? Find out how a puffin says "I love you"!
Did you know that no two giraffe have the same markings - they all have different markings on their coats. They are the world's tallest animal.
Hippos can hold their breath underwater for about 5 minutes, which is quite a feat. You can adopt a hippo with the Turgwe Hippo Trust in Africa (pic copyright to them)
These two are in Kent, at the Big Cat Sanctuary - but there are big cat experiences around the UK and other big cat gift ideas as well!
Did you know that rhinos communicate through snorts and sneezes and poo? It's their sort of whatsapp system! They are the largest of animals, apart from elephants...
This cheeky red squirrel is from the Natural History Museum - so cuddly! Or how about adopting a red squirrel or getting a gift from the Red Squirrel Survival Trust?
These alpacas are at Lucky Tails in Warwickshire - how about doing an alpaca experience? Head off on a walk in the fresh air with these loveable animals!
There's nothing like having a waggy tail by your side or to welcome you when you get home! Give a dog owner or lover a gift which shows you understand that special bond!
IT's lovely to see a cheery robin redbreast! Mind you, did you know as youngsters they have no red breast? They sing nearly all year round - you can listen to a robin's song here.
