Sustainable Gifts - Top 10 Ideas for the Eco-Friendly Home
Saving the planet is on the forefront of most people's mind in some form, especially after watching the latest David Attenborough documentaries. He just makes us want to do better. It's something in his voice (which can also send us to sleep, like a lullaby). Whilst we don't know everything about saving the planet, we have unique, sustainable gifts the eco warrior in your life will enjoy in the comfort of their own home and garden.
ANIMAL ECO HOUSES
- Bee Barrel
Give the Queen B of eco-friendly lifestyles a Bee Barrel to house all the worker bees whilst they pollinate the flowers in the surrounding area. Not only will it look amazing in their back garden or yard, but it helps continue the circle of pollination and flower growth. That helps humans breathe… and we all want to keep doing that, don't we?
- Igloo Hedgehog Home
Hedgehogs are cute little creatures that you can't help but watch if you come across one. If your loved one seems to have more nocturnal activity (from the prickly kind in the back garden), present a hedgehog home to protect the animals and bring nature close to home. These loveable creatures are in decline, so protecting wildlife is as crucial as ever. Plus, if your loved one suffers from pests like slugs and beetles, these prickly creatures will take care of them so they don't have to.
- Lady Bird House
Attract lady birds into your eco warrior's garden with this Lady Bird House. Made from sustainable FSC certified wood as a home for the tiny creatures, this garden gift will flourish in any home. Plus, the lady birds act as protectors of plants and flowers. These types of eco-friendly and sustainable gifts will help maintain your loved one's garden and the world around them.
