Celebrate the Holidays with Animal Instincts: Unique Gifts That Give Back!🎁



Dear Animal Instincts Family,


As the holiday season approaches, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your support. I founded Animal Instincts 🐿 in 2008 to share joy through art and apparel, inspired by my lifelong love of drawing and a passion for creating whimsical, animal-inspired designs.

In 2020, we moved across the country from San Francisco to our new home in Northampton, Massachusetts, where I’ve continued to pursue my dream of growing a business that not only provides for me and my family, but also gives back to my community and beyond.

Being a small, artist-owned business, your patronage means the world to me. Every purchase you make not only brings joy to you and your loved ones, but also helps a local business thrive. This holiday season, I invite you to explore our vibrant, animal-inspired apparel and perfect gifts 🎁 that add a touch of fun and color to life! (We could all use more of that, right?!?)

Looking ahead, I’m excited to do more collaborations with nonprofits dedicated to wildlife conservation. We recently partnered with Majestic Waterfowl Sanctuary in Connecticut, donating 50% of profits from our duck designs 🦆 to support them and their adorable residents. I really want to pursue more of these meaningful projects, but to do that, I’ll need to hire my first helper in the shop. This will free me up to focus on growing my business and supporting causes that are close to our hearts.

But before I take the leap to a new employee, I’m counting on you to help my shop have a successful holiday season. With your support, I’ll be able take my business to the next level and pursue more purpose-driven collaborations that make a difference for animals and the planet!

Thank you for being part of the Animal Instincts journey, and I wish you a joyful and wild holiday season!

Warm regards,
Jamai Lowell ☺️
