Whale Gifts ~ 33 giant, floating gift ideas

Okay, so we all agree, right: whales are big. I mean really big.

Which I suppose is what has led people to be fascinated by them and to devote so much art and entertainment to these ocean giants. I mean, that much size in a living, breathing creature is hard to wrap the mind around.

But wrap we shall, for today I would like to show you the Seashell Madness top 33 ideas for whale gifts.

I’ve just gotta say: I absolutely love the expression on the face of this humpback whale. A nice, friendly little smile. And at 42in. long this piece of wall art does justice to this large cetacean.
