Repo Adopt-a-Seal® with plush
If you just love love, this Adopt-a-Seal® is the perfect gift. When you symbolically adopt southern sea otter Repo (or one of our other popular patients like a seal, sea lion or dolphin!) your purchase will provide the food and medical care the next sick or injured patient needs to return to their ocean home. Keep it simple with a personalized certificate that features your animal’s story from rescue to release, or increase your impact when you add a plush!
2. For your Valentine:
You Have My Heart greeting card
Share the love with your special someone with this otterly adorable greeting card. Featuring a floating sea otter, this blank greeting card is printed in the United States on 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper and comes with a 100% recycled brown kraft envelope in a biodegradable sleeve.

A pair of cereal box sea lion earrings
Transform waste into fashion! If jewelry is your loved one’s preferred gift, these delicately crafted earrings are the perfect way to show you care.

An organic cotton beach towel that shows off what they care about

6. For the one who has everything:
A donation and eCard in their honor
This is perfect gift that gives back for someone who doesn’t need more stuff. A donation to The Marine Mammal Center in honor of your loved one has a big impact on ocean health. Send a personalized eCard with your donation and let them know how they gave a second chance to a marine mammal. You can even schedule your eCard to be sent immediately or on a specific date.
7. For the long-distance loved one:
Name a whale in honor or memory of a loved one

A purchase of any of our Eco Friendly Valentine’s Day Gifts will help to support ocean health through marine mammal rescue and rehabilitation, scientific research, and education.
