Adopt a Reindeer

The news has been reporting recently on the amount of money wasted each Christmas on unwanted presents. I love getting surprise presents at Christmas time and never seem to get something I don’t like. I must be one of the lucky ones but it seems many people shove their unwanted gifts in the cupboard and leave them to gather dust.

Santa lists are always a great idea to avoid getting or giving unwanted presents. Another brilliant way around the problem is to give a charity gift such as sponsoring a child in Africa, buying a toilet for a village in Asia or adopt an animal in Scotland.

For children Reindeers epitomise Christmas time, especially with Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer being such a popular character at Christmas. There is something magical about these docile creatures that appeals to children (of all ages!). These gorgeous thick coated antlered animals are ideal for surviving cold and snowy winters in the Scottish mountain ranges.

You can adopt a Reindeer based in the Cairngorm mountain range of Scotland. The Cairngorms are the only free-ranging Reindeer herd. The Cairngorm Reindeers are incredibly friendly animals and you can even visit them in their homeland to stroke and hand feed them.

Remember a Reindeer is for life - not just for Christmas

With this adoption pack, not only are you giving a truly unique gift - it is unlikely anyone else has bought one - but you will be helping raise funds for the Reindeer Conservation Centre which looks after these creatures all year round.

So what do you get in your adoption package?

A Certificate of Adoption, A welcome letter, a cute Reindeer toy, the history of the Cairngorm Reindeers and information on Reindeers in general, pictures of the Reindeer Herd in Scotland and a free entry ticket to visit the centre in Scotland.
