It is an actual shopping nightmare out there y'all, especially when it comes to friends and loved ones who have one thing they are super passionate about. Say for example, your loved one who is absolutely potty for animals. That being said, what do you get animal lovers for Christmas? Because let's be real, people who fancy themselves as the next David Attenborough just cannot get enough of critters of all shapes and sizes.

People give some pretty intense and full on props to the big guy at Christmastime. Yes, Santa Claus is super magical and manages to get all around the world in one night. What an amazing guy.

Being obsessed with animals is a bit like being a part of a secret club that you know makes you better than everyone else. Better because animals are better than humans, and everyone knows it. Also, cute little fluff-bags. Am I right?

You can choose from a selection of animals to sponsor, including leopards, lions, penguins, and orang-utans. If you're giving to someone else, you can pay the one off payment, or if it's a self gift (shh I won't tell anyone) you can pay monthly. Also, you get a cuddly toy, fact pack, and regular updates on how the little beasts are doing. Starting at £36, but do donate more if you can.
£36
