The inspiration behind our gift cards - Happy World Oceans Day!
The inspiration behind these ocean themed gift cards came from the idea to use our art to protect something that is immensely important. The ocean is responsible for providing the earth with 70% of its oxygen and so its no secret that we need to do all we can to protect the big blue. Art has an incredible way of portraying messages that we as humans can connect to in the most intriguing and heart wrenching way. We wanted to use this particular collection to celebrate World Oceans Day and to raise awareness for the struggles that our waterways and marine life are currently facing.
We don't want another day to pass where the Sophia. community is left in the dark about the gut wrenching things that our earth faces every single day and the impact that each of our decisions has. This Ocean Gift Card Collection is our way of spreading awareness through creativity while simultaneously raising essential funds for the restoration of our reefs, the protection of our marine life and waste clean ups both along the coastline and amongst the waves. Without conservation groups fighting for the protection of our oceans each and every day, they would be in an even worse state than they already are!

Happy World Oceans Day - The story behind the art...
The first design in this collection actually came about after we had created our jellyfish tote bags in collaboration with Ocean Crusaders. After the jellyfish had been created, then along came the lion fish filled with its intricate details and then the sea turtle which serves as a reminder of the 100,000 ocean fatalities that occur each year. Next we created the swimmer crab which represents the link between land and sea and the connection between humans and the marine world and lastly the seahorse and its unique and mysterious features.
With the full collection completed, we set out on a mission to launch the designs with the goal to use 100% of the profits for ocean conservation and rubbish clean ups throughout Australia and the world and to create much needed awareness throughout our community about our excessive waste, ocean pollution and marine deaths. It was for this reason that we decided to team up with Balu Blue Foundation to donate 50% of the profits to and support the essential work that they do for our oceans and wildlife.

Wondering how our gift cards were created for world oceans day?
While a jellyfish, lion fish, sea turtle, swimmer crab and sea horse might seem like a random selection of sea creatures, we actually chose these specific species because they are all so incredibly unique and each represent a different ocean habitat. Each design was drawn on 100% recycled paper, using non-toxic pens and once the entire collection was completed after an approximate 25 hours, we then took the drawings to a local Brisbane printer to get them made into gift cards.
We choose this particular printing business for all our gift cards as we believe that supporting small and local business is extremely important and it also reduces carbon emissions due to shipping and delivery. Each ocean inspired design has been printed onto 100% recycled card and is hand folded. From there, we bundle each set and a corresponding envelope together with recycled copper wire in our trademark copper bow and set aside until someone like you decides to come along and purchase a set while simultaneously supporting ocean conservation.

I first came across these gorgeous cards on Instagram when Sophia. announced that they’d be launching soon and I was literally counting down the days until I could buy a set. They definitely haven’t disappointed! |

JELLYFISH GIFT CARD
Ahh, the jellyfish... A creature of immense beauty and a vital part of the eco-system but so often replaced by the infamous plastic bags inside turtles stomachs. This intricate drawing represents the deepest, darkest parts of our oceans and the things that lurk below, which unfortunately aren't always sea creatures. It is estimated that by the year 2050, there will be more plastic in the sea than fish and we want to the profits from these gift cards to turn that statistic around. It's not too late to make a difference and we want our oceans to flourish with marine life once again!
SWIMMER CRAB GIFT CARD
The humble swimmer crab design represents our coastlines and beaches and where our man-made impact begins. Our sandy shores are where our plastic waste seeps into the ocean and gets dragged out by the crashing waves. The many species of crabs are one of the links between land and sea and we wanted to capture the unique relationship that they have with the ocean. We hope that this design inspires you to stop and think about the impact you have when travelling to the beach and how you can help protect the future of our seas and marine life.
LION FISH GIFT CARD
This gift card was created to represent all the weird, wonderful and unique marine life that we are endangering with our decisions. We threaten these precious species every day through the choices we make, the waste we create and the companies we support. Imagine a world without these beautiful lion fish and the one hundred thousand creatures that we lose each year due to pollution. The death toll is rising too fast for our liking and we're on a mission to do something about it! What actions and steps can you take today to make a real and positive difference?
TURTLE GIFT CARD
This intricate design represents the ocean life that is affected by our plastic waste. While 100,000 marine animals and sea birds die each year from our rubbish, turtles are usually in the forefront of the media with plastic straws being ripped from their noses and plastic bags suffocating their stomachs. We'd like to educate the community into making more conscious decisions about the foods they're consuming and the waste they're creating. Simple and effective changes CAN be made in your day to day life and you can become a vital piece in the puzzle to help clear our tides.
SEAHORSE GIFT CARD
There is a famous photo of a seahorse clinging for dear life onto a plastic cotton bud, obviously mistaking it for a piece of coral. It's no secret that our sea beds are suffering and our precious corals are dying from human greed. Many things affect the death of our reefs and we want this seahorse design to remind everyone that we need to do something NOW, before it's too late. Coral mining, pollution, toxic sunscreens, oil spills, overfishing, and the digging of canals are amongst the few things destroying our reefs and ALL of them are avoidable. Let's stand up and make a change!
