Heifer's Christmas Wish List

Heifer International has the only holiday list you’ll need—great gift-giving ideas from our holiday catalog and easy ways for you to check everyone off your Christmas gift list, all while helping poor and hungry families in the United States and around the world.

Not sure what to give? Some frisky sheep in Ecuador suggest the perfect Christmas present.

See the faces of people benefiting from the gift of animals, which provide food, fertilizer and income: Portraits from Heifer’s Global Blogging Ambassador, Betty Londergan. Then choose a Heifer gift that will spread the hope.

Give a family access to clean water with the gift of a treadle pump and training in water conservation.

Hunger is solvable. With the promise of more bountiful harvests, a gift to Heifer will provide tree seedlings, teach composting and other soil improvement techniques.

Heifer International offers some amazing animals. These cows, pigs and llamas are adorable, and they also do a world of good. Gifts of livestock mean better nutrition and more income for hungry families. Choose an animal gift!

The best charitable gift ensures that the recipient becomes self-reliant. Through Heifer International’s Cornerstone, Pass on the Gift, project participant families become donors themselves and share their animal’s offspring with another struggling family.

A Christmastime treat in the Philippines is bibingka, a type of sweet rice cake. Get the easy recipe, and buy a biogas stove to help a family cook cleanly and safely.

Show a child how a Heifer animal gift keeps on giving with this Mad Lib word game. Have a partner fill in the blanks with the suggested part of speech, then read the silly story back.

See how Heifer International is empowering women in India and give a gift that will start a new women’s group.

Teach your children the power of charitable giving with a Heifer International Christmas story. Page through the storybook to see how a gift of chickens can change the life of one child, and then make your own gift.
