Viva! the campaigning animal and veggie vegan charity are chuffed to launch our most scrumptious,gorgeous and downright luvverly Gifts for Life catalogue ever. It features veggies Tina Landini, starof Channel 5 TV's teen soap Family Affairs (wearing our "If It's Got a Face, I Don't Eat It" T-shirt) and super fit hero, Emmil Watson, winner of Gladiators (adorning the cool pig with attitude T-shirt "Don't Mess with the Animals.") Packed to overflowing with goodies of every conceivable nature, it's every animal-lovers' dream catalogue! If you want to wear it, eat it, read it or cuddle it you're bound to find the ideal pressie in Gifts for Life. The mailorder catalogue features Viva!'s very own distinctive T-shirts (£9.99) and sweatshirts (£21.99), designed to be eye-catching, fun and totally groovy - "PIGS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN", "NO ANIMALS IN MY TUMMY", "ANIMAL POWER!" and "GET STUFFED YERSELF" - make the message clear! "Young people care so much about the pain and suffering of animals", says actress Tina Landini "and they want to do all they can to help. What better way to spread the word than to wear your heart on your chest and let everyone know that you don't eat your friends? But we don't just sell T-shirts, Gifts for Life has much much more." And how right she is! Brooches and badges, postcards and purses, stickers and doggy, froggy, badger and dolphin keyrings (all under £2), even cuddly cows and pigs are displayed across these pages. Or stock up for school with Viva!'s own pencil case, ruler, pens, pencils and erasers and hand your homework in on Viva! writing paper! But Viva! hasn't forgotten that there are serious issues behind going veggie which is why Viva! produced The Livewire Guide to Going, Being and Staying Veggie (£3.99). Written by Viva!'s Juliet Gellatley especially for teenagers, this definitive book looks at how farm animals are kept, live export, slaughter, fish farming, environmental destruction and diseases in meat. The L-Plate Vegetarian and The L-Plate Vegan (80p each) are also written for new veggies and teenagers, helping them take their first faltering steps. If this wasn't enough, Food for Life, (£6.99) Viva!'s new and totally absorbing video for teenagers appears in this all-encompassing catalogue. Phew! If this isn't enough to tickle your tofu, then we don't know what is! And of course all proceeds go directly towards Viva!'s campaigns to save animals. The catalogue and merchandise are available from: Viva!, 8 York Court, Wilder Street, Bristol BS2 8QH. Or call 0117 944 1000.
