Gifts That Don’t Suck: WWF Donation Gifts

My childhood was spent buried in a heap of stuffed animals. I wanted to be a vet or a panda rescue worker (yes, really) and was the proud owner of well over 200 stuff animals, not to mention animal trivia, animal rugs, a massive jungle themed coloring and sticker box, NatGeo kids magazine. I went to Rainforest Camp and was a zoo member.  I loved nature and animals and different climates and just all of it. So, when it comes time to determine what to get my four year old nephew, my immediate instinct is always a stuffed animal. The good news is that World Wildlife Fund (WWF) supplies stuffed animals in buckets. Literally.

Through their species adoption program, the kid in your life can symbolically adopt an animal. It gives purpose and meaning to the stuffed animal that a kid can really appreciate and understand. It’s a big world, and you’re helping them save it. The adoption kits come with a plush, species card, adoption certificate, photo, and gift bag.

This year I was delighted to see that they’re offering Frontline Hero Dolls! I wish I had these growing up. Who wouldn’t want to be one of these?!

Gifts for Adults Who Don’t Want Stuffed Animals

The other good news is that WWF finally supplies great stuff for those of us who love the Earth and its animals, but don’t really need a stuffed tapir in our homes. They have a Gift Center to browse through, and you donate whatever amount your gift of choice is valued at.  Then at check out you’re “choosing your free gift.”  I just think of it as buying a gift and the majority of my money is going to support WWF and not to the item itself.

My top picks from this year:

Graphic Tees

Love the climate change shirts, and of course I’m a sucker for a panda top!  The panda one is even on my xmas list.

There’s tons more to find in the gift center, including scarves, puzzles, memory games, reusable bags of all shapes and sizes, beach gear, umbrellas, ornaments, and jewelry! Give it a look and see if you can’t find the exact right gift that totally doesn’t suck, and then know you’re simultaneously saving the planet. Go you!
