Giraffes are beautiful creatures with their long necks and patterned fur. Who wouldn’t fall in love with them? Looking at them makes you want to go on an African safari in search of giraffes, lions, elephants, and rhinos. Now you can bring a bit of that feeling home for yourself or give some of these giraffe gifts to others who love these magnificent animals. I have sought out gifts for the home, for children, teens, and adults, so you should be able to find something for everyone on your list.
1. Cutting Boards
All things giraffe
Get a wooden or glass cutting board decorated with a giraffe to display in the kitchen. Some even allow for personalization. Guests will definitely be talking about this to their friends.
For more kitchen decor, get a giraffe salt and pepper shaker set. Several varieties are available. I even saw one that came with a giraffe wine bottle holder! For another unique gift for giraffe lovers, get some stir sticks. These will definitely be a conversation piece while mixing up drinks.
2. Wine Glasses
Giraffe gifts for adults
For the wine lover, choose either stemless glassware or more traditional glasses with stems.
For a giraffe gift for a whisky lover, get some etched rocks glasses. Looking for a giraffe gift for a coffee drinker? Choose a giraffe coffee mug. You can even customize some of these giraffe mugs and glasses with the recipient’s name, making it a personalized giraffe gift.
3. Beach Towels
Summer giraffe gift ideas
For summer fun, hit the beach sporting cool giraffe merchandise. These towels can be used for the beach, bath, or pool. This is a great giraffe gift for teens, kids, or adults.
A towel is great for lounging on the sand, but what about in the water? An inflatable giraffe float makes a great summer gift for giraffe lovers. You can use these at the beach or in the pool for double the fun. Don’t forget a waterproof giraffe beach bag as well. You don’t want the wet sandy towels leaving a mess all over the car.
4. Giraffe Feeding
Gifts for people who love giraffes
Many zoos around the US have opportunities to feed giraffes. You will have to pay for admission to the zoo, but the feedings are usually only a minimal additional cost. I have done this twice at two different places in south Florida. I highly recommend it. The giraffes are friendly and stick their giant tongues out to grab the lettuce from your hand. It also makes a great photo opportunity. This is also a great experience for children. While the giraffes are big, they are gentle, friendly creatures.
What do you get a giraffe lover who is a child? Buy a giant 4 foot tall plush giraffe to remember the feeding experience. You can also get your child a colorful safari animal set made from recycled flip flops. This giraffe, elephant, and lion are carved from flip flops discarded on Kenyan beaches and waterways. They are collected, cleaned, glued together, and then carved by hand. The money generated from sales of these animals provides income for disadvantaged Kenyans, in addition to funding marine conservation programs.
5. Phone Case
Giraffe gifts for teens
Get an iPhone or Samsung Galaxy case as a gift for the giraffe lover. This is great for teens that like to show their personalities through their phone cases.
Does she have a MacBook Air? Get her a giraffe laptop cover. Whether it is an actual cover or vinyl skin, this is a great giraffe gift idea to show off a love of these amazing creatures at work, school, or at home. You can even get a giraffe tablet case for Kindle Fire or iPad. Make sure her model is compatible with the cover before buying.
6. Bathroom Decor
Gifts for people who love giraffes
Giraffe bathroom decor is a unique gift for the giraffe lover. Everyone needs a bathroom makeover at some point. Choose a bathroom set that comes with a shower curtain, toilet seat cover, toilet mat, non-slip bath mat, bath rug, and curtain hooks.
For a funny giraffe gift, get a giraffe toilet paper stand. The toilet paper slides over the giraffe’s neck! To complete the look, get some bathroom wall art. These pictures are smaller than traditional wall art, so they fit in smaller rooms such as the bathroom.
7. Giraffe Bubble Maker
Outdoor giraffe gifts for kids
Kids love bubbles. This machine can be activated by a young child, and has lights and music for extra fun. Even a toddler can push it along making the bubbles float up. While it can be used indoors, I recommend using it outside. Bubbles are made from soap, and you don’t want anyone slipping on a wet floor.
Get an inflatable giraffe sprinkler for a giraffe present for a summer birthday. Your child can even use it as part of his birthday party. For more cool giraffe stuff for toddlers, get an inflatable giraffe kiddie pool. Make sure to keep an eye on them though. Even a few inches of water can be dangerous to little ones without supervision.
8. Crossbody Bag
Giraffe gifts for women
Looking for a cute giraffe gift for her? A cute cross body bag makes a great giraffe themed gift that keeps her hands free while still being able to tote around her stuff. These small bags are great for teens and kids as well.
You can even get an adorable insulated giraffe lunch bag for her to take to work or school. Get a set of six reusable giraffe grocery bags in various colors for trips to the neighborhood market for mom.
9. Bedding Sets
Gifts for people who love giraffes
With giraffe bedding you can make a bedroom into an African savannah. Add some natural color curtains and some woven accents to complete the theme.
Get mom, kids, and infants cozy giraffe sleepwear. With comfy pajamas or nighties for her and the little ones, everyone will be ready for a good night sleep on safari. Get some giraffe print boxers for dad so he doesn’t feel left out. Don’t forget fuzzy giraffe slippers so everyone’s feet stay warm on cold nights.
10. Giraffe Infant Toys
Cute giraffe baby gifts
For whatever reason, babies love all of these giraffe toys. This squishy one was a favorite of infants at the preschool I worked at, but any of these soft toys or pacifier holders will make a big hit with the infant crowd.
Get ride-on toys for giraffe toys for toddlers. Whether a giraffe that rocks, a bouncy giraffe, or a giraffe with wheels, make sure you get more than one if there are several small children in the home. Even four and five year olds love these, and they will fight over them. A giraffe popper toy is also a great infant or toddler giraffe gift. They love watching the balls pop up and down inside the giraffe even before they have the coordination to work it themselves.
