For the cetacean fan in your life, make a splash with one of these unique, adorable, and flippingly awesome gifts.

Of course it’s the thought that counts when it comes to gifts, but now you can rest assured knowing that you’ll krill it with one of these whale-themed gifts.

1. These incredibly striking prints were inspired by a surf trip to Mexico where, just before paddling into a break, artist Maggie Hurley witnessed a rare double breach of mother and calf. Hurley became committed to deepening her work, inspiring people to act, and giving back to ocean conservation. Feel good gifting this original wooden print because 20% of the proceeds go directly towards supporting marine conservation efforts of organizations like The Lonely Whale Foundation. Printed from original oil painting, then titled, signed and mounted on wood (6” x 8”). See more of the collection that includes orcas, humpbacks, and dolphins floating above and around cities across the globe. ($55)
