The holiday season is upon us and we at Shark Magazine are here to remind you not to neglect the shark fans on your shopping list. From ornaments to kitchen gadgets, we have collected a briny bounty of gift inspirations for the shark lovers in your life. Sharks are more popular than ever, and thanks to some talented crafters, smart buyers, and savy merchandisers, stores are stocked with amazing finds. We combed the Internet for some of our favorite items to share with you, but take some time to search around and see what suits your needs.
Remember--in addition to gifts, consider making a donation to a wildlife, marine, or shark-specific charity that benefits research and education. True animal lovers will appreciate your thoughtfulness at preserving an important, beautiful part of our ecosystem. If you do give a donation as a gift, perhaps consider an ocean-themed card for a classy presentation. But no matter what you decide, we wish you happy shopping and happy holidays!
Shark Bite Earrings
These adorable polymer clay earrings are a fun, creative way to express your shark fandom. Each pair are handmade and come in multiple colors. Imagine how cute these would look nibbling on the ribbon of a present or poking out of the top of a stocking!
Navy Shark Pillowcases
With a clean, crisp color palette and a vintage style silk screen, these pillow cases are a lovely gift for anyone with a marine aesthetic. Navy blue and white are fantastic neutrals, so don't worry about clashing with anyone's decor. These would be a cute host gift as well.
Handmade Birch Ornament
Laser cut on natural birch wood, this ornament would make a beautiful addition to any tree. For year round use, include a longer cord and hang it from a rearview mirror. The price point is perfect to pick up a few of these and use them as present toppers!
Shark Koozie
When you combine the sweetness of crochet with the functionality of a can koozie plus the whimsy of a giant shark mouth, you literally have a present anyone would love to receive. This hilarious koozie would look great swaddling a bottle of wine (red, naturally) or even a can of mixed nuts or candy. And since it's made of acrylic, it's machine washable--y'know, just in case you spill a little.
Custom Wall Decal
A custom wall decal is a great addition to a kid's room or even an office or living room. Since it's customizable, you can include a first name, but consider using your last name or even your business name. This is a super cool, kind of unexpected gift at a budget friendly price.

How cool is this? A retro print inspired by 60s B-movies, this would be a beautiful piece for a home, office, or art studio. Grab a natural wood frame reminiscent of drift wood and you've got a classy gift for anyone.
Mermaid and Shark Stained Glass
