Wish them a wooly Chrismas with an Alpaca

alpaca_swarm_4.jpgAlpacas aren't just cute and slightly ridiculous-looking beasts; they have uses too. In fact, in some parts of the world, their presence is vital.

With this in mind, Practical Presents is inviting you to buy a friend or family member one wooly jumper they won't want to throw away. For £50, you can purchase an alpaca for a family in Peru, where the animals are a crucial part of the community. In the freezing andes, they provide a constant source of highly nutritious milk, and their wool can be sold by families struggling to make ends meet. And in a climate of -35 degrees, they also offer vital insulation.

So why not make this generous gift on behalf of a loved one? They may not get to meet their shaggy friend, but they will receive a rather splendid alpaca finger puppet...
