It’s that time of year again! The
holiday gift giving season is upon us so it’s time to head to the store to
purchase something unique for your fellow zoo enthusiast or animal lover. I’ve
created a list of gift ideas besides the typical season passes to your local
zoo or aquarium. Many of these items I personally use myself each and every day
and others are items I have on MY holiday wish list.

Amazon Prime
I highly recommend joining Amazon
Prime. If you order something off of Amazon on average once per month
then it pays for itself, or if you're ordering a bunch of gifts this holiday
season it probably will too. The FREE two day shipping is awesome and
everything I've ordered really has come in two days or less. You can also
stream movies, TV shows, and get a Kindle book every month. Great alternative
for Netflix or Hulu and well worth the investment in my opinion. Cheers!
