One of the prettiest bird feeders I have seen in a long time, I think this would make a gorgeous gift for any nature and bird lover.  I think most people would feel that this was a little bit extra special bird feeder and one that many people would adore.

As it is still freezing cold where I live and currently wet, rainy and very windy,  I think a lovely gift for a gardener who cannot yet get outside would be a lovely warm fleece blanket!  This one I found features a quaint birdhouse in a colorful backyard flower garden. It is perfect for now if you live somewhere cold in winter. Very warm and cosy and would be good in any room in the home. In Spring and Summer when it's warmer it could be easily used as a picnic blanket or to take to outdoor events or when taking a rest from gardening. It could even be kept in the car to wrap up in for when returning from those long days out visiting other gardens for inspiration!  I think it would also be lovely over a bench or a swing seat in summer all ready for if the evenings got a bit chilly to cuddle up in and stay outdoors just that little bit longer...

You know barely has Christmas day passed when I start once again looking forward to the gardening year! I often begin to look at seeds during January, in fact, it has been known for me, given half a chance to contemplate seed catalogues on Christmas Day itself!    2,000 Seeds, Wildflower Mixture "Dryland" (20 Species) Seeds By Seed Needs   Well, my excuse is that if sometimes I get money for a gift I like to spend it on something for the garden.  It is generally too cold and frosty to be buying and planting out anything this time of year so seeds are a good option to either start off now somewhere a bit warmer or to keep until you can start to sow.  To a non-gardener it might seem a little strange to get all excited over packets of seeds and seriously wonder if they really would make a good gift. However, to many gardeners, I think a packet of seeds means promise and joy and looking forward to the future. I have several times been given the gift of...

I do love to give garden and wildlife books as gifts. As a gardener, I also love to receive them!  They give me valuable inspirational reading in the winter when gardening is more difficult and then I can implement the ideas gained as soon as  I get out there again!  Whether it's a physical copy of a book or a Kindle version it is lovely to give a gift of knowledge and learning that can be read and the information used time and time again. This is such a book.  Plants and Planting Plans for a Bee Garden: How to Design Beauitful Borders That Will Attract Bees Any gardener will know how important bees are to the plants and flowers in the garden. Many will also know the plight of the bee, in that it is suffering and disappearing all too fast from our planet. Without bees we will all suffer as they are one of the main pollinators of our food. Sometimes we feel helpless if we only have a tiny patch of land and think what can we do to help bees, surely it is down ...
