I have had a rhino adoption for years, and a tiger, when I got these you didn't get a free soft toy with them. After the initial payment which lasted a year, I paid for them by direct debit and get an update every so often which is very interesting about the work of WWF and the animals adopted printed on a small recycled paper format. Recently have added an Orang-utang as well. After the initial expense of the adoption pack, money goes directly to the projects, and can be increased if you wish.
Some good ideas coming up for presents...and am making a list!
