Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

We decided to put together a page full of some great gift ideas at all different price points for the Moms on your list this year. Any of these gift ideas below can be packaged up in one of our nice green gift bags with decorative tissue paper.

Birds & Beans Coffee

In 2008 Scott Weidensaul, David Pritchard, Madeleine Pengelley, Bridget Stutchbury, Kenn Kaufman, Bill McGonigle, and the Wilson family launched the Birds & Beans coffee brand in the US to revitalize the Smithsonian Bird Friendly® shade-grown organic coffee certification and bring a truly 'good coffee' back into the United States. The Smithsonian Bird Friendly® certification is independently considered the best guarantee of environmentally sound, sustainably grown coffee farming. Now by simply drinking the right coffee, coffee lovers can help preserve over 100,000 acres of prime tropical habitat and biodiversity, save birds, family farms and the Earth we all share. This amazing coffee is available in 5 different blends, including a decaf, in both ground & whole bean options.

The Naked Bee

For years we have carried many products from The Naked Bee in their amazing Orange Blossom Honey lineup. This subtle scent isn’t overbearing and the creams have been one of our most consistent selling gift items in the store. We just stocked up on a variety of this line as well as their brand new hand sanitizers in 3 different sizes. Quantities are limited so they’re being sold on a first come, first serve basis. We are limiting hand sanitizers to 2 per size per person for right now to make sure everyone can get some.

Abbott Designs Drinkware

One of these great designs features the ever popular Cardinal on a wine goblet glass, stoneware mug & even swedish dish cloths. The other is another favorite Ruby-throated Hummingbird on a whimsical stemless goblet in stock just in time to enjoy your wine in while watching them at your feeders.

Wavertree & London Australian Hand Soaps

These Australian made soaps are made from 100% Certified Sustainable pure plant oils and organic shea butter with no added color or artificial preservatives. The french triple-milling process creates a longer lasting bar with a creamy lather that rinses off cleanly. No SLS, Parabens, detergents or harsh chemicals. These great soaps are mild and non-drying. The packaging is extremely beautiful as well!

Local Raw Honey

Our most popular food item in the store that is for us humans and not any of the wild critters is our local raw honey from neighboring Cheshire. This is artisanal honey that is straight from the local hives and not mixed with anything else. It doesn’t get much more local and many swear by it to help with seasonal allergies. Once you taste this amazing honey you’ll never go back to any regular store bought jars again.

Hummingbird Feeders

We carry a variety of great hummingbird feeders, including some that suction cup right to the window, but these 3 below are all popular ones:

Wind Chimes

We have a great selection of wind chimes from industry standard Woodstock Chimes, but these 3 below are the best sellers here at the store. If you want to know about other models that we may have in stock shoot us a call (203)248-7068. We also started recently carrying high end wind chimes by Music of the Spheres as well if you’re looking for something even fancier!

Bird Feeders

Any of our high quality bird feeders can be purchased along with a small bag of bird seed to make for a great gift as well. We can help you pick out the perfect feeder for anyone on your list this year and put together a nice gift bag with enough seed to give them a few fills. Shown below is the smaller Squirrel Buster “Standard” feeder along with 5lbs of our premium Connecticut bird seed blend. To view all of our available bird feeder options click here. Another great option right now is an Oriole Feeder to attract these amazing orange & black birds that have just began showing back up here in Connecticut. We even have BirdBerry Jelly in stock to pair with any oriole feeder to get them going and they only need to get a nice fresh orange to complete the setup. Shown blow is our popular Oriole Flower Feeder along with the mentioned jelly. To see all of our Oriole Feeder options click here.

Binoculars & Spotting Scopes

We always have a great selection of binoculars & spotting scopes in all price ranges to get any beginner setup with their first one or help someone looking to upgrade to something better than what they’re currently using. We typically do a sale on all these items in the springtime so contact us for more information and with any questions regarding purchasing something from this department.
