“Happiness doesn't result from what we get, but from what we give.” -- Ben Carson

I’m so excited to tell you about our latest giveaway! It’s possibly the cutest, cuddliest prize that we’ve given away yet. And even better, we’re giving away TWO! Meet the Give A Stuff family:

The best thing about Give A Stuff stuffies is that for every one you adopt, a donation goes to an Australian animal sanctuary. So a little furry munchkin gets a safe and happy home with you, AND you help provide safe and happy homes to animals who might have nowhere to go if it weren’t for these sanctuaries. :) Click here to read about the awesome organisations Give A Stuff supports.

So, because it feels so good to give, we’re giving you the opportunity to give one of these gorgeous stuffed animals to someone you know who gives a stuff about animals. AND we’ll throw in one for you as well. :) TWIN STUFFIES!

Just like you, animals form strong bonds with friends and family members. Sheep, for example, are friendly, social and make great companions.

All you have to do to enter is let us know in the comments below about someone you know who deserves this gift and why. Entries must be less than 150 words and competition closes 1 December 2013.

Good luck!

Psst! Can’t wait that long to get your arms around a Give A Stuff animal? You can purchase your new furry friend here.

« And the winner is ... bobby calves! • Live export #fail »

I think my best friend tabitha should get a pig, she's a huge animal lover, volunteers with shelters when ever possible and hasn't eaten one in 14 years.
Right now due to council laws she's not allowed a real pig and her birthdays coming up soon so something like this would be really nice.

Vegetus 15 October 2013

My daughter, she is 3 and recently read your book from the store 'Thats why we don't eat animals' she loved it! We bought a flying pig for her collection, so another little animal buddy will continue to encourage her to become a kind, compassionate little human being!

I'd love my 9-month-old son to have a new furry friend. I'm teaching him to love animals and to be compassionate and kind, and he gets so excited every time he sees an animal, whether it's my cat at home or an animal on TV or in a book. I know he's going to be a great advocate for animals happy

I'd love to win these cuties for my niece, Amelia, who is 8 and a half months old. I'd love for her to know and grow up with a symbol of community and compassion. I myself became a vegetarian with the help of a relative (my sister, Katie) and know how powerful it is to have an ally fighting the good fight right by you. To know that Amelia's first memories could be clutching something made with so much love, morality and selflessness would be a dream.

I have a great friend who has listened and helped my through the transition of being a meat eater for 42 years to being a strict vegetarian. She has helped me with meat free and dairy free recipes and is now on the road to being vegetarian too.
We are both animal lovers and find it very difficult to understand the cruelty that is allowed to happen in the meat, dairy and egg industry furious

My cousin deserves one of these as she works hard and she never gives up. Even when she is unhappy she puts a smile on her face. Plus she is vegetarian happy

She is one of those hippie chicks who is always talking, because she and I both became vegetarian at around the same time (we didn't know that we both became veg) I really want to give her something that reminds us that we are doing it for the animals XD

laserrenegade78 15 October 2013

I think my friend Stef should deserves a Give a Stuff animal. As a person who funds and manages a no kill cat shelter and attendee at all the Ban Live Export rallies, she often has no time to look after herself or and little money to buy herself treats. I know she'd like a dog to add to her managerie so she can take him/her for walks along the beach this summer, but in reality I think she knows she doesn't have the time for a dog - not to mention the stink some of the cats would kick up! So a Give a Stuff dog would be a great alternative happy

My 6 month old daughter who I'm raising to be a vegetarian, animal advocate. She already loves nature. Her favourite thing to do is sit outside and watch the birds, trees and our dogs playing.

Charlotte-Anne 15 October 2013

My mum deserves one of these without a doubt. For starters all of the dogs I have had throughout my childhood have been rescue dogs taken in by my mum. In total she has so far saved the lives of 5 dogs from either death row or being put through multiple families in foster care. She gives them all a beautiful life and even cooks them up a nutritious meal nearly every night! She also makes a concious effort with products she buys from the grocery store and even more so since I became a vegetarian. She also writes letters in like me to stop things like live exporting and whale killing. We need more people like her in the world.

I think my cousin Pam would like this because she loves animals more than life itself. she donates hundreds of dollars a month to the RSPCA all because she hates what humans are doing to animals. she is also a vegetarian and i think you know why, and her and i help animals who haved earned their place among the earth. time to kill some cruelty ninja

Pig Lover <(^_^<) 21 October 2013

I think that my daughter would absolutely LOVE one of the GiveAStuff toys, especially Willow the Pig. As an 11 year old, she just adores pigs. She collects posters of them, pictures of them, toys of them and even lanterns of them! She is an absolute angel and when she asked if she could buy something from the Animals Australia shop, and I said yes, she almost cried! Even when we went to the farm and saw some pigs she was jumping up and down squealing "Oh my goodness!!! It's a pig! It's a pig!"
She cares about animals A LOT. She saves worms and snails from being crushed at school, she saved a dying spider and many other marvelous things. She also does not eat pork, as pigs are here favourite and animal and she thinks it is cruel that she eats them, so about a year ago, she refused to eat any pork, or anything that has gelatin in it.
She is just an adorable, funny and kind young girl. love

I would love to give one to my little sister who nearly 2 years ago at the age of 13 went Veg happy

I would also love to give one to my other sister who has been Veg for 8 years, she was 11 when she went Veg with me when I was 13 happy

Growing up on a beef and sheep farm opened our eyes to how animals are raised for food, I would also love to give one of these to my youngest sister because she helped me rescue 3 bobby calves from ending up at the slaughterhouse ^_^

Vegan91 23 October 2013

My mum deserves a stuffy because she supported my vegetarianism as a child from the get go, and now proudly supports my Veganism. Additionally, after 43 years of eating meat, my mum decide to become a Vegetarian seeing Animals Australia's Make It Possible campaign. She's been a vegetarian for over 4 months now and is making other cruelty free choices in her day to day life.

Around the same as her becoming vegetarian, she rescued some battery hens, who will now live out their days happily in our backyard along with various other animals, many of which were also rescued from dire circumstances. I'm so proud that she was able to make the connection between the animals she loves and the animals that experience unnecessary cruelty, and that she has now vastly changed her lifestyle to minimise the cruelty she is responsible for.

GemzLuvsAnimals 23 October 2013

I would love to give these to my friend who is a keen animal lover, veggie, environmentalist and animal activist, she is an inspiration when it comes to everything animal saving and she would love these to add to her 'animal room'. A room full of animal things, posters, drawings, and conservation ideas. She makes blankets for the local pound to give to the dogs to keep with them, volunteers with animals and is constantly blogging about saving animals. She's a great person and i know she'd love these so much.

Tommy Twitchet the cat 24 October 2013

I'd love it give it to my BFF, Mary Rose! she is a vegetarian and her mum is a vegan! She absolutely LOVES animals, in every shape and size!!!
We share everything together! We are both animal loves and are very passionate on making a difference in animals lives! Her dog is adopted, and is now about 7 years old! her old owners didn't want her because she 'barked'. And my cat, Xhosa, is also adopted (he is turning 7, too!!).

We love share stuff- adventures, being silly, and helping animals! only 2 months ago, we rescued a dog who ran out in fount of a car while we were walking! lucky she wasn't hurt, and we found her owner! It feels SOOO good to help animals in need! we have also recently been giving out printed flyers with info on animal cruelty, at our local iga (with the owners permission, of course!!)

I just think she would love it.... love

Lion lover 1 24 October 2013

I would love one of these for a really good friend of mine who know is a vegatarian and loves and cares for all kinds of animals! Once she even saved a shark! She has 3 brothers so does not have much of her own things and sadly her parents recently got divorced which was very tough as she is very sensitive. So it would be amazing if her and me could both treasure a beautiful hanmade stuffed animal like this!

I would love to give one of the give - a - stuff animals to my Mum. I want to give one to my Mum because she has supported ALL (and when I say all I mean ALL) my animal activist ideas and plans to help all the animals out there! I became vegetarian just over a year ago she became a vegetarian too. She did this to support me (being a vegetarian at 12 [I'm now 13] isn't as easy as it looks!) and to make sure I did it properly (kept me healthy). I love my Mum more than to the moon and back and I would love to be able to surprise her with one of the adorable give - a - stuff animals. Thank you so much xx

These give a stuff animals are gorgeous and I would love to give one to my boyfriend. I have been vegetarian for the past year now and after tears came to my eyes after watching the calves video I have become dairy free too! After becoming vegetarian I convinced my boyfriend the biggest meat lover around to start eating vegetarian too he struggles at times and I know he would love to have a big juicy burger but he tries so hard and is now making us the most delicious vegetarian meals and I would love to thanks his efforts with a give a stuff animal love

Veggie Veronica 24 October 2013

I might give it to some vegetarian teachers at school, or to my friends who are trying to go vegetarian because of me. These friends are identical twins, so they both wanted to go vegetarian! One of the twin's(can't remember which!) favourite animal is a pig, and giving it to her will make her very happy and encourage her.
A boy at my school is saving all the baby birds falling out of their nests. Because of him many have been saved. He could have one too.

Ash2 28 October 2013

My sister, Mikaela, deserves this gift. She has loved animals since she was a toddler. When we adopted our dog, Alisha, she was in tears when we entered the shelter because she couldn't take all the animals home with her. She couldn%u2019t comprehend how people could be so cruel to their pets and she wanted to save all of them. One day, we were in our driveway and this bird came crashing into the side of the car, then flew a little way away and collapsed onto the side of the road. She immediately ran out and scooped it up in her arms, in tears because she didn%u2019t know if it would survive. We took it to the vet, and because of Mik it did. She%u2019s very passionate about ending animal cruelty, especially live exports and animal testing. Honestly, I don%u2019t know anyone who loves animals more than her.

RDMC 22 November 2013

I have been a vegetarian the past 17 years of my life. I made this change and took this stance due to the abhorrent cruelty of animals with practices such as live animal exports and factory farming for human consumption and profit. I will become a father for the first time May 2014 and would love my first gift to my child to be a Give A Stuff stuffie as a way to educate compassion and respect for animals.

My boyfriend Chris deserves one of these! He is a very dedicated vegan, and loves every animal. He is suffering from derealization and anxiety, and even though people judge him and tell him it's from his 'un-natural diet' he is not changing his animal friendly lifestyle for anybody, because he doesn't want any innocent souls suffering because of him. He is determined to make a difference to animals lives, and his passion has obviously rubbed off on many people around him, including myself as we have been converted to vegetarians.

I an a volunteer with Tears which is a pro life animals welfare organisation in Cape Town. We rely solely on donations and go that extra mile for any animal. We work in the poorest areas where gangs and violence is rife. The difference between us and certain other animal welfare organisations is that we take the time and care to bring even the worst cases of animal abuse and neglect back to health and happiness.We make sure they are adopted into a loving home to a wonderful life full of love and care that they have never known. I would like one to raffle to raise funds for our organisation. Thank you.

Oaps 26 November 2013

At the beginning, I was a meat eater. In 2009, I met my girlfriend who is a vegetarian and who loves animals. Her love for animals and worries towards animal abuses really touched me so that I became myself a vegetarian in June 2009. Everyday, she sends me dozens of petitions that she signed to improve animals status in our society. Moreover, last year, she asked me for her birthday not to buy her any present but to donate some money to an animal rights association. I know her everyday battle for animals will last as long as she lives.

She gave and still gives so much to the animal cause that I think, after giving so much, for once she might be the one to receive.

Thank you anyway "Animals Australia" for this nice initiative. happy

My Mum deserves to win a toy as a small reward for her years of supporting animal welfare and for instilling in me, her now 47 year old son, an unwavering empathy for all animals whether they be farmed or not. My first memory of my Mum is her rallying for an end to live export in the UK in the mid 70s and her campaigning has continued. She has been an active supporter of Free the Bears since it began (and got a mention in Mary Hutton's book) and makes regular donations to AA. She missed out on a flying pig! wink

My mum would he perfect! She adores animals almost as much as me! We have always had animals in our home from mice, budgies and yabbies to dogs, cats, rats and fish. We lost our beloved cat Tipsy last year to an aggressive form if cancer and the silence in the house was too much to bare. So off we went, my mum and I to the RSPCA to find another little bundle of love. We came home with Abby and Christian. They sleep on my mums legs every night.....xo%uD83C%uDF39%uD83D%uDE00

my friend has raised money to stop elephant cruelty in Asia.
she raised enough money to save 20 elephants.
trying to stop animal cruelty is a big problem that we both want to fix, i want to stop unnecessary poaching and she wants to stop animal cruelty related to elephants. i think the elepahnt would be a great gift for her

My 12 year old Siberian Husky still loves her toys! When I order a toy by mail she'll rip open the parcel so eagerly that I have to laugh until tears start running down my cheeks....She plays alone with her toys in the back garden by throwing them up high into the air and then she catches them because they usually squeak when she grabs them with her teeth! I would absolutely loooove one of these for my gorgeous elderly girl!! wink

I have a good friend, who like me , loooves animals & helps all critters great & small wherever & whenever. She once broke through the windows of a locked car to rescue a poor porch sweltering inside. Stopped a Maggie from eating a plastic bag with bread scraps inside & even helped a spider out of a slippery bath tub. She's a warrior & truly deserves a little thankyou.

I feel that a stuffie should go to the daughter of an amazing deserving family. Bell's human sister passed away after battling long and hard with severe disability and illness. Through Bell's own grief, anxiety and depression, she cared very much about others, including her 2 rescued cats and well-cared for chickens. She hopes to be a teacher to help others, and along the way teach kids about animal rights and safety. What's more is that she persuaded her mum not to buy the cheapest eggs but to make sure that they are free-range; and wants to become vegetarian when its convenient. I really love this wonderful family and hope that they have a well-deserved peaceful Christmas. Thank you.

My daughter, Suzanne, "Mum" to six cats, six dogs, umpteen rabbits, numerous guinea pigs, twenty-four ex-cage hens, three horses, everyone a rescue; "Foster-Mum" to shelter cats, rescuer of possums, collector of road trauma casualties, hurt animals, birds, lizards and joeys, life-saver of swimming-pool drop-ins, ants, bees and dragon flies and the many assorted fortunates to find her, which have long since passed over the Rainbow Bridge. With a heart as big as a cabbage and her local Vet ringing her before euthanizing any unwanted animal, there are still many, many more who will find a forever home with Suz. I can think of no more deserving person than she, to receive a Give-a-Stuff toy. balloon

I would love to give a little give-a-stuff friend to my boyfriend who recently agreed to adopt a stray kitten that we found dumped alone in a cardboard box in the street behind our unit. He has never thought of himself as a 'cat person', and has grown up with dogs his whole life. However, he has fallen in love with the little boy and taken real responsibility with caring for him and having him de-sexed and vaccinated. It melts my heart to see them napping together and having kitty kisses. I want to give him a gift for being so open-minded and caring.

The Kind Cook 27 November 2013

My 4 year old son deserves this. He is navigating a world that sees things so differently to the way he is being raised.

Everyone eats meat but he and I don't. Other parents love the hatching program but it makes his mummy sad. Other kids go to the zoo but he goes to farm animal sanctuaries. Some kids hurt worms in the play ground. He is taught to not harm even the smallest being.

He always asks mummy if things contain cow's milk, doesn't complain and just puts them back. Sometimes it's a little harder to find the vegan version and sometimes like with ice creams there is not as many choices that are dairy free but he never complains.

It can be hard feeling different but so far he seems to understand. It's just about loving others, showing compassion and respecting that every species is important.
