Gentlemen of the world please note – this year Valentine’s Day falls on Friday 14th February. How do I know that? Because I just looked it up! If you are like most men and you’ve not got the first idea on what to get that special person in your life, we’ve got some suggestions to help you.
Adopt an Animal with udopt
Whilst everybody loves chocolates and flowers, wouldn’t it be nice to surprise your partner with something a little bit different? Why not adopt an animal and help support leading charities and their conservation efforts worldwide.
1. Adopt a Tiger with WWF / £3.00 per month
Grrrreat if you’re other half is a bit feisty!
udopt it because:
- The tiger has seen its wild population collapse by nearly 97 per cent over the last 100 years and is in desperate need of funds for conservation.
- There are just 3,200 tigers left in the wild according to the WWF and without some serious effort those numbers will not improve.
udopt and receive:
- Perfect as a last minute gift as you can print out the certificate to give on the big day.
- A gift pack with a cuddly toy tiger, factbook, bookmark and stickers. Your pack will be sent within 3 days – but allow up to 10 days for it to arrive.

2. Adopt an Elephant with The Aspinall Foundation / £3.50 per month
Give them a gift they’ll never forget with this elephant adoption gift.
udopt it because:
- The elephant is one of the most magnificent and powerful animals in the wild, but their numbers are deteriorating.
- It is estimated that as many as 96 elephants are killed every day just for their ivory tusks. These are then carved and sold on in Asia and other parts of the world.
- The numbers of elephants alive today has fallen dramatically. 80 years ago there were over three million … today there are just under half a million.
