Really difficult present to buy- any geniuses (genusi?!) about?

I've forgotten to buy my aunt and uncle a present

I normally sponsor a cat pod / buy a cat Christmas dinner, but can't seem to find/afford anything like that this year. Might not be time either now.

Have quite a small budget (£10-15)
They are vegan, and really into animal protection and welfare.

What can I get

Thanks in advance.
On knees.
Begging.

If they are really into animal welfare ,they'd probably just as soon you made a donation directly to a rescue or animal charity than doing a sponsorship 'gift' - the former, I would think more goes to the actual animals.

A selection of things for them to feed the wild animals in their garden ? e.g birds, hedgehogs, squirrels etc.

Ooh does it?
Thanks for that, that would actually be easier anyway Blush

They have a lot of 'stuff' so hard to know what they haven't already got!

Thanks again, will make a donation to the cats protection then. Smile

Thanks for all the suggestions Smile

After grilling my grandma, I donated some money to an animal sanctuary which they apparently visit often.

And thanks bemy Grin Shall remember genii in case I need another group of them!

Grin at grilled grandma Grin

Xmas Grin as i could not contribute on the subject of the present
although i think genius-es is also acceptable now (without the "-" of course)
but genii is the correct form (latin)
(similarly cactus/cacti, stimulus/stimuli, etc)

Haha! In my (very tired) head last night, grilling sounded right.
Reading back this morning, so wrong!
