The Perfect Gifts For Wildlife Lovers
A huge change in our understanding of how important wildlife is for the garden has occurred over the last decade. Organic gardening relies on a fundamental balance between nature and the humble gardener, and what better gift to give than one which helps this vital partnership to thrive. Whether it be bird feeders, bird boxes or state-of-the-art wildlife camera kits, these gifts are perfect for the wildlife enthusiast and organic gardener alike.
To give a helping hand in finding something they will love, from big gifts to plenty of stocking filler ideas, we have put together a very special list of our top gifts for wildlife lovers in your life, just in time for the festive season.
Bird Houses & Bird Feeders
We are proud of our bird houses and bird feeders because they keep our wildlife thriving across British gardens. Because of this, a bird house or feeder is the kind of gift which just keeps on giving!
There are many varieties of birds you can spot from your window, but if you provide them with a tasty meal and warm home, they will keep coming back for more. In return, they will fill your garden with the sounds of delightful bird songs and bring your garden to life.
Bird Houses
Bird houses make a charming addition to every garden and are a thoughtful gift for avid bird spotters!
The Teapot Nester, Roosting Pockets, and Pear Bird House are all cosy pockets of protection for small garden birds to have an overnight retreat. They can be tucked away and become little hidden safe havens.
Acorn Bird House
Give wrens, great tits and sparrows a safe home with this super cute Acorn Bird House. Crafted in the shape of an acorn, this will help them out during the cold winter months to shelter against strong weathers and raise their adorable little chicks.
Bird Boxes
If you prefer a traditional style of bird houses, the Great Tit, Blue Tit and Wren Bird Boxes provide a secure place to nest with a pitched roof for extra special home comforts. Nurture nature and help a bird family out this winter.
Bird Feeders
Feed your feathered friends in a variety of different ways! Whatever shape or size of your garden, we have something which fits all. Give the gift of a quirky bird feeder, or something more traditional, and spot the nations favourite garden birds from your very own home.
Supersized Bird Feeder
The more the merrier with this Supersized Bird Feeder! If regularly filling up your bird feeder ever slips your mind, then try the supersized option. With 12 ports each with a landing perch, attracted birds will be back for more and more of this feast!
Peanut Butter House
Birds go nuts for peanut butter, and we have a great way to serve it to them. This contemporary Peanut Butter House has been designed to fit a jar of bird peanut butter for wild birds to devour. Keep on trend with grey decor and provide a high-energy nutritious meal station.
Happy Habitats
With a little effort, you can make a safe retreat for wildlife and insects. You have many more creatures than you might initially imagine in your garden, and these gifts for nature lovers are designed to support garden wildlife.
There is a gift for all with homes for frogs, insects, hedgehogs and even a special place for our colourful ladybirds!

They are docile and will only sting if severely aggravated, and are routinely used commercially for the pollination of many fruit and vegetable crops.
