One of the greatest gifts you can give this holiday season is one to someone who truly needs it. By purchasing any of the gifts in this gallery, you will be helping animals (and people!) in need all over the world, and what gift could possibly be better than that? Scroll through to see some of our favorite charitable gifts we found this year, and if you need more shopping ideas, check out any of our other gift guides [1].
Cuddle Clones
Cuddle Clones [2] ($179 and up) are custom-made stuffed animals that are designed to look just like your own pets. The best part, though, is that for each order placed in the last two weeks of December, a Cuddle Clone will be sent to a man or woman on deployment, through Dogs on Deployment [3].
Luv-a-Pet Cat
Through the end of January, PetSmart is donating 10 percent of sales of the Luv-a-Pet stuffed toy [4] ($5) to PetSmart Charities in the US or PetSmart Charities of Canada to help save homeless pets.
DOGood Shirts
One hundred percent of proceeds from Farfetched's limited-edition DOGood racerback tank [5] ($36) are donated to animals in need.
Men and Cats Calendar
Purina Pro Plan ran a contest for men to submit pictures with their cats for a 2016 calendar, and really, what is better than men and cats? Not much, except the fact that all the calendars were donated to shelters to sell to raise money for their organizations. Go here [6] to find an organization near you!
Luv-a-Pet Blanket
Ten percent of sales of PetSmart's Luv-a-Pet blankets [7] ($15) will also be donated to the store's charities through the end of January.
