Sloth Gifts

If you’re looking for a birthday gift for a child who loves sloths, a microwaveable sloth toy is both adorable and a much safer option than a traditional hot water bottle. For adult sloth enthusiasts, a truly unique gift that will no doubt leave a smile on their face is a sloth planter, which will grow into the shape of a sloth hanging from a tree. Some people don’t just like sloths for their cute faces but have a genuine interest in the wild creatures, in which case adopting a sloth in their name will be a surprising and touching gift.

Don’t forget we have an entire range of personalised gifts, so you can get creative and slothify a water bottle, mug, or keyring. Moved too slowly on looking for a gift? We have a selection of last minute presents that will be posted and with you in the time it takes for a sloth to blink.

Sloth Gift FAQs

What are some sloth gift ideas?

A sloth cuddly toy is a great gift idea for a child who loves sloths and, heck, a lot of adults too. If you don’t want to go for a cuddly toy, though, there are plenty of other sloth gift ideas. These include a sloth-decorated mug, sloth slippers, sloth socks, sloth keyring, sloth beanie, or a sloth door sign.

Why are sloths so slow?

The reason sloths are so slow is because of their low metabolic rate. Their poor diet and calorie intake is what dictates this and means that sloths aren’t just lazy – they literally don’t have the ability to move quickly. The slow, sluggish movements of a sloth are borderline iconic at this point, with very few creatures able to match their astonishingly slow pace of life.

Are sloths friendly?

Sloths live alone in the wild and therefore haven’t evolved to be the friendliest of creatures. They don’t expect to be touched, sometimes becoming aggressive when petted, and actively try to avoid drawing attention to themselves, so as not to be a target for predators. That being said, if you let them keep to themselves and don’t overwhelm them, they can be quite happy being friends – but from a distance.
