The holiday season is a time for joy, celebration, and giving. At Josefin Liljeqvist, we believe in gifts that go beyond material value—gifts that make a positive impact on the world we share. Our Holiday Gift Guide is more than a collection of products; it's a celebration of purpose, creativity, and wildlife conservation. We call them #GiftsThatGiveBack and they range from adopting giraffes, lions, and polar bears to colorful artworks, coasters, and sustainable sneakers - spread joy with purpose.
Gift a Lifeline to Vulnerable Species: In the spirit of giving, we've chosen three animals as ambassadors for change—symbolizing the many more that need your help. These animals, listed as 'Vulnerable' by IUCN, represent a call to action. By adopting a giraffe, polar bear, or lion, you're not just gifting a symbolic adoption; you're supporting wildlife conservation and making a lasting positive impact for these species.
Adopt a Giraffe
Adopt a giraffe this holiday season via the Born Free Foundation and help save an African icon. With a 40% decline in the last 30 years, fewer than 70,000 giraffes remain in the wild. Your adoption makes a meaningful impact in preserving these majestic creatures.
Adopt a Polar Bear
With about 26,000 remaining worldwide, urgent climate action is crucial. Gift the spirit of hope this Christmas by supporting polar bear conservation through Polar Bears International.
Adopt a Lion
This Christmas, give the gift of supporting lion conservation efforts in southern Africa by adopting a lion. Use the link below to learn more about WWF lion conservation work and to give the gift of adopting a lion.
Petitions for Impact: Not all gifts come with bows; some arrive through ongoing efforts to drive change and demonstrate that change is a necessity. This holiday season, sign petitions for farm animal welfare and be a part of meaningful change. Your signature can contribute to the well-being of animals in need.
Background to the End Factory Farming petition:
Annually, approximately 75 billion land-living farm animals are killed for food, contributing to an estimated yearly food waste of US$112.5 billion—equivalent to the value of 75 million cows. Shockingly, 70% of this number comprises factory-farmed animals enduring appalling conditions that must come to an end. All farm animals should have access to grazing, water, veterinary care, nurturing for their newborns, and be treated with respect.
P.S. This number excludes the calves killed for dairy as they are considered a 'by-product' of the meat industry.
Feel like gifting even more impact this holiday season? We've got you covered. Your impact doesn't need to end with one petition. Explore more petitions on our website and continue giving animals hope for an improved quality of life.
Exclusive Discounts on Artworks: Art has the power to inspire and elevate. Explore our exclusive holiday discounts on prints, bringing the beauty of creativity into your home. Each piece tells a story, and your purchase supports artistic expression and craftsmanship.
Functional Art for Your Home: As you gather with loved ones, add a touch of style to your holiday gatherings with our art-infused coasters and trays. These functional art pieces embody both form and function, transforming your space into a haven of creativity.
Sneakers - Stylish & Sustainable: Walk into the new year with purpose. Join us in the journey towards conscious fashion and responsible choices. For the conscious fashion lover, our traceable sneakers, blending fashion and sustainability, are the perfect choice. Normally made-to-order (MTO) with 12 weeks delivery, but we have a few sizes in stock for Christmas delivery.
This holiday season, let's celebrate with intention. We hope you enjoy the Holiday Gift Guide and make choices that echo through time. Your support means the world to us and the causes we champion.
With gratitude,
Josefin with team
