This year why not focus on giving a sustainable gift or something that won't eventually end up in landfill but create memories instead.
Giving an experience to someone ticks all of these boxes as it is something for them to enjoy but will leave a lasting memory rather than leaving a lasting impact on the environment.
Giving an experience is good for the environment but best of all the recipient will have memories and photos that will last a lifetime from the experience.
- Zoo Director Steve Hinks
