2. Snowdrops bag

Buy bags from £6.99

There’s more to our reusable snowdrops bag than meets the eye. It’s not just made from jute, a strong, natural fibre that has a low carbon and water footprint - it’s also produced to award-winning ethical standards and fully sustainable. One of our most popular items, your eco-conscious friends and relatives will love it.

The bag is lightweight enough to take out every day and strong and sturdy enough to carry heavy items too. Stating the owner’s passion for the environment with style, the unique flower design is exclusive to the Trust. Other designs also available.

3. The cup that saves trees

Buy cups from £6.99

Did you know?

The UK throws away 2.5bn coffee cups a year - about 5,000 a minute. Almost all are non-recyclable.

Got a caffeine fanatic on your list, or someone who’s always out and about? Our coral and cream insulated cup is just £6.99 and it doesn’t just save a single-use plastic cup going to landfill with every drink – it’s made from recycled single-use cups too. Fully insulated, it’s comfortable to hold and maintains drink temperature for longer. It has a durable snap fit lid and, unlike many travel mugs, is dishwasher safe.

The larger green and white cup is £14.99.

4. Calendar

Buy calendars for £9.99 (or buy 2 or more for £7.99 each)

Everyone needs a calendar! Our stunning photography brings a new piece of seasonal artwork to the home with every month, while large squares for every date leave plenty of room for those important reminders to keep the whole family organised.

Fully recyclable and plastic-free, our calendars are supplied in a card envelope, ideal for posting as a gift. Choose from woodland wildlife or trees and woodland.

5. How you can save the planet

by Henrickus van Hensbergen, CEO of youth environmental charity Action for Conservation.

Buy the book for £7.99

Ideal for ages 7-11, this informative, fun and practical book is a great present for kids with an interest in making a difference. From recycled bird feeders to rewilding, it’s packed with simple and reassuring explanations, step-by-step actions and easy to follow DIY activities to help the next generation fight climate change and create a better world.

Wildlife lovers will get hours of enjoyment watching tits, nuthatches, bullfinches and other small birds at this feeder. Designed and made in the UK from recycled second life plastic, it's a great way to support and enjoy wild birds and is kind to the planet too.

Easy to clean, hang and refill with seed, it's a simple way to bring an outside space to life - and it can be recycled again at the end of its life.

7. Wildflower seedballs

Buy seedball tins for £6.50

Anyone can grow flowers and attract wildlife to their patch with these easy seedballs. There’s no need for digging - simply scatter them anywhere from balcony pots to large garden plots and watch wonderful wildflowers appear in just a few weeks.

Each ball has around 30 native wildflower seeds and tins contain 20 seedballs, with different mixes designed to attract bees, butterflies, hedgehogs or feathered friends. Can't decide? Buy 3 seedball tins for £18.00.

8. Wildlife ID swatch books

Buy swatch books for £4.99

Make your money go further

Save on ID guides with our multi-buy offer - buy any two or more for only £4 each.

These pocket-sized ID guides are a fantastic way to learn more about the natural world around us. Suitable for age 5+, they’ll help nurture a love of nature in little ones or add new depth and meaning to adults’ woodland walks. With a lightweight, fan-shaped design, they’re packed with detailed ID photos and useful tips on when and where to spot a range of plants and animals. Choose from leaves, wildflowers, birds, minibeasts, fungi, butterflies or poos and clues.

9. Trees for bees virtual gift

Buy virtual gifts from £10

A tree is more than bark and branches - it offers vital food and shelter for wildlife from squirrels and stag beetles to birds and bees. By buying from our range of virtual gifts, including the £10 Trees for Bees, you can help us plant more trees to create future homes for wildlife.

This option is perfect for nature lovers, those that have everything, those that live far away – or those you’ve left to the last minute! Send a personalised downloadable certificate by email directly to your own email address or someone else's, or send it via post so you can add your own personal touch.

Ok technically this is 95p over budget, but a tree is worth every one of those extra pennies! A sapling is incredible value for money - as it grows over the decades to come, it will put on beautiful displays, offer important homes for wildlife, clean our air, capture carbon and so much more. It doesn’t get more environmentally-friendly than that. Plenty of native trees are suitable for small gardens too, including rowancherry, crab apple and holly. All our trees are sourced and grown in the UK and delivery is free.
