The Best Gifts For Tortoise & Turtle Lovers

A funny and heartwarming gift for dads and grandads who can never quite catch up with their supercharged, sprinting offspring, this matching t-shirt set for adults and nippers is a sweet gift that will have all the family chuckling.

Featuring high-quality tortoise and hare graphics on dove grey tees, these t shirts are a super choice for new dads or just new parents in general, as an extra adult tee is available should mum want in on the action.

But who’s who you might be wondering?

Well, hares might have all the energy in the world, but they lack the wisdom and smarts of the old wise tortoise, and so of course it’s the adult t-shirt which features a plodding tortoise graphic, while the child’s tee sports a speedy hare.
