As the festive season approaches, we at Nukunuku are embracing the spirit of giving in a way that reflects our values and celebrates the community we hold dear. This Christmas, every order you place with us will come with a free Arctic Tern Challenge Postcard by Seabirds CIC, an organisation we deeply admire for their work in spreading ocean joy and creating accessible opportunities for all to experience the water's transformative power.
Why Seabirds CIC?
Seabirds CIC is more than a sea-swimming community—it's a lifeline. They help people find solace and well-being in the water, running initiatives like free swimming lessons for marginalised groups, including asylum seekers in Brighton and Hove. For many, these sessions aren't just about learning to swim—they’re about finding a sense of belonging and empowerment.
By supporting Seabirds, we’re helping to amplify their efforts to bring respite, freedom, and joy to those who need it most. The water has a unique way of healing, and we want more people to experience this magic. The annual Arctic Tern Challenge is a cold water swimming fundraiser and you can support it here. Our haramakis help the participants warm up after a dip ;)
The Arctic Tern Challenge Postcards
These stunning postcards, graced with artwork by the talented Hannah Eaton, are a true celebration of seabirds and the oceanic spirit. Each design captures the unique beauty of birds like the playful Puffin, the majestic Gannet, the delicate Snow Bunting, the elegant Penguin, and the enduring Arctic Tern - all with Seabirds woolly hats on their heads! These avian muses symbolize the freedom and resilience we associate with the sea and our shared mission to protect and enjoy it.
Printed on luxurious 330gsm card, the postcards feel as beautiful as they look. Perfect for sending festive cheer or framing as art, they’re a little piece of coastal inspiration you can share. If you would like to purchase a set and support Seabirds please find them here
A Gift with Heart
Whether you’re treating yourself or shopping for loved ones, every haramaki order from Nukunuku this Christmas comes with a gift that carries meaning. These postcards are a small reminder of the sea’s power to connect us and a token of gratitude for being part of this journey with us.
So, as you wrap up your holiday shopping, know that your support is helping to build a stronger, more inclusive community, one wave at a time. Together, we can share the joy of the sea far and wide.
Happy Christmas from all of us at Nukunuku! 🌊
