The holiday season is fast approaching, which means it’s time to start thinking about gifts for the people who mean the most to you. If you have any animal lovers in your life, then you can’t go wrong with a sea turtle gift.
Symbolic of peace, wisdom, and good fortune, sea turtles have been around for over a hundred million years.
