Besides the bags Feles Creations also offers a Red Panda pendant.

Red Panda Cookie Cutter
This gift idea has nothing to do with the popular panda cookies, which are often fed in zoos.
However, we think the cookie cutters from Bakerlogy are very pretty. The two motifs – a sleeping and a sitting Red Panda – are also available in a cheaper double pack.

The Red Panda Network enables you to adopt a Red Panda in the wild (symbolically) – from $50 you can get a small and from $100 a large red panda cuddly toy as a gift.
Anyone who supports WWF Germany can also enjoy a plush red panda from a donation of €50 upwards. (The website is only available in German)
In 2018, the Australian animal welfare organization Free The Bears rescued Red Pandas from the hands of smugglers. Three of the animals, which survived the strains, are now being cared for in the Luang Prabang Wildlife Sanctuary. In the Free The Bears store you can support Mei, Zhu and Santy. by buying a plush animal or a hand puppet.
