This year, in an effort to teach my niece and nephews something more important than materialism and capitalism, not to mention giving very unique presents to three kids who literally have *everything*, I donated money to the World Wildlife Fund and the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in their names.

For my niece, Karli, I adopted a Chimpanzee because monkeys are her favorite animals (even though Chimpanzees are primates, like most children she associates them with the word monkey). And for my youngest nephew, Aiden, I adopted a Polar Bear. One day, hopefully, hell understand why. Both of these adoptions support WWFs worldwide conservation efforts including fighting threats like habitat loss and poaching faced by the david sheldrick [I] chose and david sheldrick critically endangered species.

For my oldest nephew, Alex, I fostered a baby, orphaned elephant in his name. I chose the David Sheldrick david sheldrick because I had visited their elephant david sheldrick in 2004 and was extremely moved by their efforts. I have been donating to them ever since that visit.

Im still unsure of how well these gifts will be received by a 6, 4 and 2-year-old, but at least it wont end up in the toy graveyard of quickly busted and/or forgotten toys.
