WATER BUFFALO
Water buffaloes don’t mess around.

SEE??! OK, you’re right—that’s an African water buffalo, not the kind of water buffalo that we donate in Asia. But giving an Asian water buffalo is still pretty serious business. You’re going to want to reserve the gift of a water buffalo for people you respect but who might intimidate you a little bit, like maybe your boss.
PIG
You have no idea what to get your in-laws, but you still need to get them something. So send a message. Send a pig.

Kidding. Pigs are great. But still, get some pigs for your in-laws.

HONEYBEES
And now, a serious interlude about the perfect romantic gift: honeybees.
“Above all, send the bees love. Every little thing wants to be loved.” -Sue Monk Kidd, The Secret Life of Bee
Send bees love, and send bees as love—to your significant other. Or, if you prefer a reason that’s less sappy:
“If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live.” -Maurice Maeterlinck, The Life of the Bee
WHAT. That’s not good news. SEND ALL THE BEES NOW.

SHEEP
Because of cuddles. They’re also on-theme for the season!

LLAMA
Llamas are confusing animals. What’s going on there, anyway? If you find yourself asking that same question about a relationship in your life, getting a llama is a perfect way to say, “I’m confused about this.”

RABBIT
If you’re feeling rascally, try a rabbit.

CHICKS
Chicks are playful and adorable and so cute. Maybe too cute. That makes them an ideal holiday gift for your probably-a-little-too-adorable relationship with “pookie” or “snuggle bunny” or whatever you are calling your significant other these days.
