Many of our rescued bears in China and Vietnam are sleeping longer and eating less, telling us that winter's on the way. For the more active youngsters still bouncing around the sanctuary with their friends, I think they might have guessed that some festive goodies may be coming their way soon. If you'd like to make it a special Christmas for them - and for your family and friends - please consider buying your holiday gifts from us this year.

We have some great new "gifts with meaning", which means the gift you buy goes straight to the bears and a beautiful card goes to your loved one.

There's everything from pots of honey and tubs of raisins to outdoor play equipment and life-saving surgery. We also have some stunning new cards and calendars featuring (of course) our beautiful bears. So please, take a look at our revamped online Gift Shop and put some real meaning back into your holidays.
