Grown up family
A classic. Like those holiday cookies you love. Perfect for everyone, but especially for parents and grandparents who always made you wash your hands before coming to the table. This gift will make a splash!
High stakes
Does the idea of picking your boss’ gift leave you with clammy hands? No sweat—deliver a small business loan to a parent in need in their name. For bonus points, tell them their leadership and business savvy inspired you.
It’s complicated
Ultimate present for when you wish you had a getaway car from the holiday celebration, but—of course—you can’t say that to your in-laws or uncle (who loves to talk politics at the dinner table). So send your message by sending a bike—it’s a wheelie great gift.
Little ones
You might not understand the new slang (how is sigma used as an adjective anyway?), but you can connect with your little one using the universal language of generosity. Buy a backpack in their name for a student in need around the world.
Close friends
Have a buddy who leaves you in stitches? Show your appreciation for their stellar humor with sewing supplies. Your pal will be sew excited about supporting a family’s financial stability.
OMG BFF
A friendly, smart animal that thrives when surrounded by others. Perfect for your bestie or the G.O.A.T (greatest of all time) in your life!
Everybody
Did you know chickens have distinct personalities? They can be social, fearless, shy, distant, etc., which makes them the gift that can best represent… well, anyone!
It’s complicated
An ideal present for that vague romantic entanglement with a not-so-subtle hint. (Can’t they see what’s right in front of them?)
Cuddle buddy
The softest cuddle companion—and totally on-theme for the season! Giving a sheep is never a baaaad choice.
Dinner date
The best gift to tell your loved one that dinners together leave you with a full belly and heart.
For that special someone
An egg-cellant gift for the one who makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
For that special someone
Why get flowers for your significant other when you can express your undying love with drought-resistant seeds? These small-but-mighty seeds can weather whatever life throws at them, blooming like your unwavering devotion to that special someone.
