Holiday Gift Idea #4: Happy Feet

My good friend Ali told me about this idea. She just graduated with her Master's in Non-Profit Management (Congratulations, Ali!) and spent a couple of weeks this last semester in Alaska as part of an externship. While there, she stumbled upon this very unique gift idea from the Alaska SeaLife Center.
Look at this.
It's called a puffin painting, and is created by these funny little aquatic birds sometimes called sea parrots or the clowns of the sea.
Regularly priced at $150, through December 24th you can get one of these one-of-a-kind works of art for just $100 and the proceeds go to benefit the Alaska Sea Life Center and the good work that they do there.

*Update*: Ali just posted another (and less expensive) way to support puffins in the comments section throught the Puffins Cereal website, which I have now made a link here in the main post.

Thanks!

Puffins are so adorable partially because they have so much personality. Other than watching the sea lion (also adorable), my classmates and I spent the majority of our time watching the puffins.

If one can't afford a puffin painting, but still wants to give puffin love, the Puffins Cereal website has some cute cheaper stuff: http://www.worldpantry.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/CategoryDisplay?cgmenbr=587770&cgrfnbr=881915
Their sales support the Audubon's Project Puffin.
