If you or someone you know is passionate about making a real difference for animals, SPANA offers a range of meaningful e-gifts that directly support working animals in need. From funding vital medical care to providing essential dental treatment, these charitable gifts offer practical help where it’s needed most. 100% of proceeds go towards improving the lives of working animals around the world — a powerful way to show compassion and make a lasting impact. In this blog, we’ve rounded up some thoughtful gift ideas that are perfect for the charitable person in your life.
Sweet treats
Everyone loves sweets and chocolate, right? Especially around Christmas and birthday time. Vegetarian and vegan treats can be the best present for animal lovers who are also foodies. Combine two passions in one and treat your friend to indulgent, melt-in-the-mouth goodness.
Colouring books
Colouring is good for the mind and soul, as well as being the perfect pastime for a rainy Sunday. A form of adult therapy, colouring books help bring back a sense of childhood nostalgia, maintain your vision, and reduce anxiety and stress.
Gifts of Health and Happiness
A Gift of Health and Happiness is arguably one of the best gift ideas for animal lovers. You are invited to purchase a range of items to help working animals in SPANA’s care. This includes equipment, medicine, veterinary care and food, and the proceeds from every gift purchased go directly towards helping animals who need it most. The needs of animals change, so Gifts of Health and Happiness can vary due to demand. Save a working animal’s eyesight with sight-saving medication, supply nutritious food for two weeks or provide a lifesaving surgical kit and aftercare to animals in need.

Journals and diaries
Does your loved one enjoy writing? Maybe they feel lost without a set of lists? If so, a journal could be a terrific idea. A beautifully printed journal is a wonderful gift for animal lovers, especially those who like writing and being creative. If your friend is lost without a notepad and hates being unorganised, why not purchase a diary or a shopping list notepad?
Travel cups
A perfect gift for the environmentally aware, a travel cup from a charity shop of your choice helps the planet and a good cause. With many high street and independent coffee shops offering cheaper prices if you have your own cup, you could be helping your loved one save some money, too! If you’re buying for someone who prefers their tea or coffee at home, a mug is a fantastic alternative.
Jigsaws
Jigsaws are a favourite pastime of many and have become increasingly popular. Jigsaws are extremely satisfying and therapeutic, and can be done alone or with others. Jigsaws and puzzles are also great stocking fillers, and the results are incredible!
Aprons
A themed apron is a brilliant present for animal lovers who like to be in the kitchen. Why not combine your gift with a tea towel or oven gloves, so your loved one is fully prepared? Encouraging people to cook and bake delicious food is never a bad idea.
Donations
Perhaps the best present of all for someone who adores animals is donating money to a charity close to their hearts. Organising a fundraiser for your friend can also be a lovely way to raise money for a good cause and spend quality time together.
There are a few ways you can donate. Whether it’s with a monthly or one-off donation, or becoming a Stable Sponsor, these vital funds will be used to support veterinary care and provide education all over the world. Donating is an invaluable gift that we’re sure your loved one will appreciate for a long time.
