In these last few shopping days before Christmas we're all looking for the final bits and pieces to finish off the presents for the ones we love. We have prepared this list of nature inspired stocking fillers for kids and adults, all available in our online shop. Happy Christmas!
Seed Bombs
Seed bombs are a great little gift for all ages. The instructions are contained on the sleeve of every seed bomb, but all you do is shake it, pull the pin, soak the seed bomb in water and throw it on the ground. They come in different varieties depending on the types of seeds contained in them:
Ireland's Garden Birds
This is the best book we have found for easily identifying all of the common birds in gardens around Ireland. This is the only bird book we have in our kitchen and it's the one we go for whenever we want to look anything up.
The pictures are all fantastically descriptive and as the title suggests, there's loads of great advice on attracting and identifying birds. You can probably tell that we love this book!
Suitable for: 10+
i-SPY books
These small books are a great little treat for 5-10 year olds. Each book contains different things that you can search for and you get points for each thing you find, more points when you spot rarer things and less for common ones. There are lots of different i-SPY books depending on what you're interested in. We have:
Living Nature Teddies
These are lovely realistic teddies and each one has a tag that contains educational facts about the animal, its habitat and food. We have selected teddies of native Irish species and the ones we have are:
- Red Fox
- Hedgehog
Binoculars
These binoculars are for the first-time or casual user and offer great quality and value for money. They are appropriate for birdwatching in the back garden, taking on holidays and even keeping in your car.
Suitable for age 10+.
