Gifts and Homeware

Find the right wildlife gift

The best gift is one that reflects the recipient’s interests and feels useful as well as personal. A mug featuring their favourite bird, an illustrated tea towel or a wildlife greeting card can be just as meaningful as a larger garden ornament.

Think about where the gift will be used. Mugs, tea towels and stationery are ideal for the home, while Metalbirds, animal silhouettes and polystone ornaments add wildlife character to gardens, patios and balconies. Reusable bags are practical choices for shopping, work and days out.

Bird and wildlife mugs

A bird or wildlife mug is a simple and useful present suitable for almost any occasion. Choose from illustrations of familiar garden birds, wetland birds, butterflies and British mammals.

The collection includes designs featuring robins, blue tits, great tits, wrens, blackbirds, house sparrows, nuthatches, kingfishers, curlews, oystercatchers, hedgehogs, squirrels and other wildlife.

You can select a design featuring the recipient’s favourite species or combine several mugs to create a personalised set. Always check the individual product page for capacity, materials and dishwasher or microwave instructions.

Reusable cotton and jute bags

Cotton and jute bags with wildlife prints make practical gifts for shopping, work, nature walks and everyday errands.

The range features birds, butterflies, bees, hedgehogs, squirrels, foxes, badgers and other wildlife. Some designs use colourful illustrations, while others have a more traditional or understated appearance.

A reusable bag can also work as part of the gift wrapping. Fill it with a mug, tea towel, notebook or greeting card to create a coordinated wildlife-themed present without using a disposable gift bag.

Bird and wildlife tea towels

Wildlife tea towels combine practical kitchen use with decorative nature artwork. They make suitable birthday, housewarming and thank-you gifts for birdwatchers, gardeners and wildlife lovers.

Choose from designs featuring garden birds, robins, blackbirds, kingfishers, hedgehogs, deer, badgers, bumblebees and flowering plants.

Pair a tea towel with a coordinating mug, apron or reusable bag to create a more substantial kitchen gift. Check each product page for fabric composition and washing instructions.

Nature-inspired home and kitchen gifts

The home and garden collection includes useful accessories decorated with birds, mammals, insects and other nature motifs.

Depending on the current range, you may find clocks, thermometers, notebooks, magnetic shopping pads, umbrellas, glasses cases, keyrings, doormats and other practical products for the home and garden.

This section is a useful starting point when shopping for someone who loves wildlife but may not want bird food, a feeder or another specialist garden product.

Polystone wildlife ornaments

Polystone animal ornaments provide decorative wildlife details for shelves, windowsills, patios and gardens.

The collection can include owls, hedgehogs, squirrels, frogs, butterflies and familiar garden birds. Some designs are purely decorative, while others combine an animal figure with a small feeding or planting feature.

Polystone allows detailed shapes and textured finishes to be produced. Check the individual product description for dimensions, recommended placement and guidance on outdoor use, particularly if the ornament will remain exposed throughout winter.

Metalbirds for trees and fences

Metalbirds are bird silhouettes designed to add a distinctive wildlife feature to trees, fences, posts and other suitable garden surfaces.

The original Metalbird designs are made from Corten steel. The surface gradually develops a rust-like protective finish, helping the silhouette blend naturally with timber, planting and other outdoor materials.

Metalbirds are particularly suitable for birdwatchers, gardeners and anyone who enjoys contemporary outdoor art. Choose a species that has personal meaning to the recipient or regularly visits their garden.

Metal wildlife silhouettes

Alongside Metalbirds, the metal wildlife silhouette collection includes decorative designs for trees, fences, sheds, gates and walls.

These silhouettes can feature birds and other animals in a simple graphic style. Depending on the product, the metal may have a black powder-coated finish or a surface designed to develop a natural weathered appearance.

Always follow the supplied installation instructions and choose a secure surface that can support the decoration without damage.

Wildlife greeting cards

Wildlife greeting cards are suitable for birthdays, thank-you messages, congratulations or simply keeping in touch.

The collection includes individual cards and multipacks featuring garden birds, woodland animals, insects and other wildlife. Many designs are blank inside, leaving space for your own message, and include coordinating envelopes.

A card can be given on its own or matched with a mug, tea towel or reusable bag featuring the same species or illustration style.

Gifts by Elwin van der Kolk

Elwin van der Kolk’s wildlife collection is characterised by detailed, lifelike bird illustrations.

The range includes mugs featuring garden, wetland and coastal birds, as well as accessories such as tea towels, cotton bags, notepads, glasses cases, magnets and bird-themed garden products.

Species represented across the collection include robins, wrens, blue tits, great tits, blackbirds, house sparrows, nuthatches, curlews, oystercatchers, avocets and other recognisable birds.

These designs are particularly well suited to keen birdwatchers and recipients who appreciate accurate, species-focused wildlife artwork.

Gifts by Myrte

The Myrte collection features colourful illustrations of birds, butterflies and mammals across mugs, bags, tea towels, greeting cards and other accessories.

Designs can include robins, blackbirds, great tits, crested tits, kingfishers, nuthatches, hedgehogs, squirrels, deer, badgers, wolves and butterflies.

Products from the same collection can be combined to create a coordinated present with a consistent illustration style and colour palette.

Gifts by Roy Kirkham

Roy Kirkham homeware offers traditionally styled kitchen and porcelain products featuring wildlife and botanical designs.

The current collection may include mugs, tea towel sets and aprons decorated with birds, hedgehogs, bumblebees, lavender and other natural subjects.

These products are suitable for recipients who enjoy classic kitchen accessories and detailed nature-inspired designs.

Wildlife gift boxes

Wildlife gift boxes bring together complementary products in one ready-made present. Depending on the set, they may include feeders, bird food, nature-friendly accessories or other products designed to attract wildlife to a garden, patio or balcony.

A gift box can be a useful choice for someone who is new to feeding birds or supporting garden wildlife, as the main items have already been selected to work together.

Check the individual gift-box description carefully, as the contents and intended wildlife can vary between sets.

Gifts for different occasions

Birthday gifts

Choose something connected to the recipient’s favourite bird, animal or outdoor interest. A species-specific mug, Metalbird or wildlife ornament can feel more personal than a general present.
