"Gifts To Make You Smile"

Sunday 3 November 2013

So the countdown to Christmas has begun......and on Wednesday you may have seen I gave you some ideas for the ladies in your life. So today it is the turn of the kids!!  It's never too early to get them interested in the garden and nature so here are some brilliant gift ideas for..................... children!
http://www.ruddickgardengifts.co.uk/birds/diy_paint_nest_box.html

First up is this DIY Paint Nest Box Kit which is a fabulous idea for young and old alike. In the kit you get the nest box, paintbrush and three paints, blue, red and yellow so don't forget you can easily mix them and make up other colours.  The box measures 15x12x20cm and is priced at just £9.99.  This makes a great gift as it gives them something practical to do but then you can pop it outside and the birds will love it too.

Next one for you is this Frog Window Thermometer which has suction pads attached so you can easily stick it to your window and                                                             the kids will love seeing it and
    learning to see what the temperature is.  Priced at just £4.99 we also have a bumble bee and ladybird thermometer available.  It measures 17x3.5x23cm and is a really fun way of introducing children to the world of weather!

This next one is similar to our DIY Paint Box but with this kit you have to make the nest box!!
So here it is our DIY Nest Box.  Now obviously this one is either for an older child or for a younger one who will need help as there is a hammer, nails and glue involved!  Full instructions are included and it is priced at £17.99.

These are just a few of our items which would be ideal for children but we have seeds if they are interested in growing flowers and we have some great outdoor games on our Kids Corner page so why not go take a look and check out all our brilliant and unusual gift ideas.
