One of my absolute favourite things about curating our shop is finding those extra-special, animal-themed treasures that bring joy to so many of our wonderful customers. Animal-inspired gifts have such a unique charm—they’re playful, heartfelt, and perfect for nature lovers of all ages.

Whether you’re shopping for someone who adores all things furry, feathered, or whimsical, we’ve got plenty of options to choose from. Here are some of my top picks that I know you’ll love:

1. Animal Egg Cups from Quail Ceramics

If you're after something fun, functional, and full of character, look no further than the Macaw Face Egg Cup. This little beauty is hand-painted and so vibrant—kids and adults alike adore it. It’s perfect for brightening up breakfast time, but here’s a little secret: it’s just as fabulous repurposed as a tiny plant pot or a pinch pot for your salt and pepper. Trust me, these egg cups bring a smile every time!

2. Animal Trinket Boxes from London Ornaments

I’m so excited about these—they’re such delightful little keepsakes!

• Owl Trinket Box: This diamanté-covered owl is a real standout. Its hinged middle opens to reveal a hidden compartment, perfect for storing your favorite little treasures. Practical and oh-so-cute!

• Flying Pig Trinket Box: Now, this one is for the dreamers out there. With its kitschy design, sparkling crown, and diamanté details, it’s the ultimate in quirky charm. Perfect for rings, earrings, or just adding a touch of fun to any dresser.

3. Hare Ornament from Grand Illusions

It’s slightly quirky but still elegant, making it a versatile piece for any home. Whether your decor is modern or traditional, this little chap fits in perfectly. He’s guaranteed to be a conversation starter wherever he hops to.

4. Monkey Pot Hanger from London Ornaments

I can’t tell you how much fun this little guy is! The cheeky monkey pot hanger is a favourite of mine because it’s just so versatile. He can perch on plant pots, fruit bowls, lamps—basically anything with an edge. If you love adding playful touches to your decor, this is a must-have.

5. Jellycat Animals

We simply can’t talk about animal-themed gifts without mentioning Jellycat. These plushies are always a hit, and the Sweater Sausage Dog Pink is one of my personal favourites. With its toffee-coloured fur and cosy raspberry rollneck, it’s equal parts adorable and dapper. I’ve lost count of how many people have fallen in love with this little pup as soon as they see it.
