UncommonGoods
is a great gift company that has some of the most creative and meaningful gifts on the Web. This set of four classes falls into that category.
The Protect Our Wildlife Glasses – Set of 4 is the fourth in a set of special glasses that Uncommon Goods sells. As with all the glasses in the set, they’re amazingly made from the bottom of old wine bottles that otherwise would have been taking up landfills or polluting waterways in North America. Instead, they’ve been formed into these great looking glasses, each silkscreened (in environmentally friendly ways) with the images of four different endangered species: the lemur, the giant panda, the tiger and the sea turtle. Each glass has writing on it that says “Save Our Wildlife” in English, Spanish, Afrikaans/South African and French.
$2 from each set will go to Defenders of Wildlife, which is dedicated to the preservation of all wild animals and native plants in their natural community.

This Weight of Life scale
A special bonus feature of this scale is that it helps calculate the nutritional value of food, including bread equivalent, calories, calories from fat, carbohydrates, protein, fat, saturated fat, fiber, sugars, cholesterol, and sodium. It includes data for up to 1,000 common foods and tracks daily meals for up to 4 family members. By using the scale, home cooks can become educated on the nutritional value of different food, and start to make great choices about ingredients and portion sizes. Users can also manually type in values from pre-packaged and restaurant meals to find out if they meet or exceed daily portion totals. It’s great for dieters, athletes, diabetics, and others who want to learn how to cook healthy.
A portion of the proceeds from each sale are donated to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

No matter how you spell it, here’s a delicious treat for all you cooks out there.
Nando’s is the name of a famous Portuguese chicken restaurant chain (it actually originated in South Africa) which now has 700 restaurants all over Africa, Europe, Australia and Canada.
Nando’s Peri-Peri Pepper Sauce
The cooking sauce can be used as a marinade for chicken, vegetables, and fish, and even contains high levels of Vitamin C and is a source for Vitamin A, B1, B3, and B12, as well as minerals. You might also enjoy the world famous Hot Peri-Peri Sauce
It’s probably going to be a while before a Nando’s will open in the United States, but you can get a taste (literally) by buying their signature sauce at Amazon. And a portion of all proceeds go to help buy mosquito nets to help prevent malaria in Africa!

This is a great stuffed animal that is as well-made as it is educational. ‘Telinho’ the White-Whiskered Spider Monkey
represents an actual species of monkey who lives in Cristalino State Park in the Brazilian Amazon. Origins has created this very detailed plush animal which makes both a great gift and teaches a fantastic lesson on conservation and taking care of the environment.
White-whiskered spider monkeys are amazing acrobats, swinging from tree to tree and rarely coming down to the ground. They have powerful tails, and feed, play and social with other monkeys in their groups.
Sadly, the forests where spider monkeys live are being ravaged by cattle ranching and illegal logging, so there are only a few thousand remaining on the earth. Local citizens of Brazil are working diligently to protect these vital natural areas, but they need our help.
By buying Telinho, you can do a part to save the white-whiskered spider monkeys and other wildlife in Brazilian forests. Origins will donate $3 from every Telinho sold to UK Charity Fauna & Flora International and its partner the Cristalino Ecological Foundation. Perhaps more importantly, you can tell kids and grown-ups alike the story of Telinho and inspire them to join in the struggle to save the forests.

The Nature Conservancy is a charity that has gotten among the highest ratings from CharityNavigator.
Since 1951, their mission has been to protect land and water around the world in scientific, non-confrontational, and pragmatic ways. They’ve preserved land in all 50 states and over 30 countries.
A great gift you can give from their site to the nature lover in your life is their Rescue The Reef package. Coral reefs are among the world’s most beautiful natural wonders, and home to countless species of plants and animals, but through a combination of natural and man-made influences, they are quickly dying. Some say that up to 70% of the world’s reefs may be dead in the next 40 years. Your donation will go to an important project designing and creating protected networks in the Asia-Pacific region, known as the Coral Triangle.
Your recipient will get a gift card, certificate, colorful factsheet, and a year subscription to the Nature Conservancy magazine.

Layered beer, also known as black and tan beer or half-and-half beer, is a unique way to serve beer. You basically “layer” different colored beers (specifically, a pale ale or lager and a dark beer like a stout or porter) on top of each other, yielding a beautifully presented drink.
This clever little gadget
Second, the tool doubles as a handy bottle opener.
Third, the clever creators of this tool fashioned it after an alligator snapping turtle, which had the perfect shell shape, claws and snappers for the job. As a tribute to this endangered species, a portion of proceeds will be donated to the Lagerhead Foundation, an organization dedicated to turtle habitat conservation and restoration projects. The tool even comes with 10 easy-to-follow recipes for creating your own drinks.
