It’s the thought that counts, right? The saying rings even truer when you give something that gives back to the world. A gift that makes a positive impact, socially or environmentally, is like two gifts in one as it helps both the recipient and a worthy cause. This year, instead of just giving items for the sake of giving, consider meaningful gifts that support causes working to make the world a better place.
If you’re looking for holiday gift ideas that support wildlife conservation specifically, you’ll have to do some digging. There are plenty of organizations doing innovative and important work to ensure that wildlife is protected, but you have to know where to look. Start by getting inspired by this holiday gift guide where we’ve rounded up our favorite animal conservation gifts.
Animal-Tracking Bracelets
Jewelry is a gift that everyone can appreciate, and our endangered species bracelets, are that much more special. Fahlo’s collection of bracelets puts them at the front and center with a beautifully carved charm surrounded by natural stone beads –Not only can the wearer enjoy a beautiful accessory, they’ll also receive the name and tracking details of an animal in the wild, plus, a part of the proceeds goes to an organization working to protect animals from extinction.
Our Journey and Voyage bracelets are ideal animal conservation gifts for the friends who love the ocean and the creatures that inhabit it. The Excursion and Expedition feature a carved elephant and lion charm respectively at the center, and are perfect for the jungle animal lovers. Similarly, Venture and Passage feature a polar bear and penguin.
The Fahlo Hoodie
Soft, stylish, and on a mission to support wildlife conservation, this unisex hoodie is one of the must-have animal conservation gifts of the season. Made from airlume combed ring-spun cotton and poly fleece, it is divinely cozy for chilly nights. It comes in a dark navy heather and features the Fahlo logo front and back as a reminder of how you are making a difference in the world. 10% of net profits from the sale of these hoodies get donated to Fahlo’s non-profit wildlife partners.
A Support Certificate
Pick a cause that is important to them and show some support! It doesn’t get easier than that when it comes to animal conservation gifts. Most organizations will have an option that allows you to contribute in someone else's name when filling in the appropriate information on their website. Saving the Blue offers certificates in support of their ongoing research that are also a fun way to share the love for and support of marine conservation.
Save The Elephants Tote Bag
A portion of our endangered species bracelets’ proceeds goes to Save the Elephants in Kenya, which specializes in elephant research and conservation. Show your support to this important organization with gifts that give back to animals shopping their collection of tote bags and tees with their logo emblazoned across them – what’s a better gift for nature lovers?
Symbolically Adopt an Animal
Give a gift that gives back to animals – and help protect your loved one’s favorite animal. Adopting an animal (symbolically) on behalf of a friend or family member usually gets you a plush animal, fact cards, and an adoption certificate to corroborate that the proceeds will be in fact destined for conservation efforts, wrap them all up in a little box for the perfect animal conservation gift like this one from Sea Turtle Conservancy.
As the holidays approach, remember that supporting wildlife conversation doesn't have to be difficult. From endangered species bracelets to books, there are plenty of small gifts that give back to animals. This season of giving is the perfect time to give a little extra love to the planet and its creatures.
