Recycled Clock and Thermometer
£28.95 , available in Classic and Black

This outdoor clock and thermometer are made using recycled plastic coffee cups. The innovative material has a heavy, solid feel much like slate.

Designed to be mounted on a wall, this clock and thermometer is a thoughtful and useful gift for an eco-friendly garden enthusiast.

Perfect for: somebody who spends a lot of time pottering about in the garden.



For a truly unique and imaginative gift you might want to try our Ceramic Bumble Bee Nester. The British bumble bee is in decline, but this sweet little nest will attract them to your garden and give them a dry, safe place to dwell in the winter months.

As well as being brilliant pollinators, bumble bees are a charming sight zipping around your garden in the summer months.

Perfect for: the wildlife gardener with a passion for conservation


Eco String Bag

No more plastic bags! The string shopping bag has made a massive comeback, and we've chosen these on-trend eco-friendly string bags in a range of beautiful colours. Handmade in India using 100% cotton and eco-friendly dyes, they're a durable and stylish alternative to the unsustainable plastic bag.

String bags are also perfect for storing fruit and veg, as they're strong, washable and allow the produce to breathe.

Perfect for: a stocking stuffer for a girlie gardener
