Whether you call them stocking fillers or stuffers, these tiny treasures can be really exciting, no matter what age you are! Personally, I love creating them and usually customise a shop bought one with anything Christmassy such as puddings made of felt, gingham ribbons, dried flowers or berries and fancy labels, it all adds to the joy of receiving a gift.

If you’re wondering what to give your nature loving friends and family this year, here’s some suggestions which are all available from my online shop…

Something for the kids…

Christmas bunting & Grow Your Own Christmas tree

More information click here – https://borderinabox.com/product/christmas-bunting-kids/

Colour in your own bunting, which is ideal for the kids to decorate their room for the festive season. The gift box also includes a ‘Grow Your Own Christmas Tree’, whilst it won’t grow in time for this season, it’s a lovely way to start growing seeds and getting back to nature. The kit includes 12 flags (as per the photo), bakers twine to hang it up, a Christmas Tree seed pod and a small gift box.

Or how about Grow Your Own Reindeer Food – it contains a packet of sunflower seeds to sow and grow along with a recipe card to make reindeer food mix. There’s also Grow Your Own Snowmans noses (carrots) and Grow Your Own Christmas tree too. Cute gifts for any age!

Letterbox Gift – Thinking of You

If you’re unable to meet up in person, this letterbox gift is so thoughtful. I can swap the card out for any design in my shop to match your sentiment. Includes a packet of Lavender seeds, and a screen printed, botanical designed sachet (design varies) filled with dried lavender flowers with a gorgeous scent too.

If you wish to add more botanical inspired items to the gift, the matching pencil case wrap is really beautiful and handmade along with the sachets, in Worcestershire. The pencil wrap includes flowers for bee’s seeds (choose either a sunny or shady garden), a lined notebook with my favourite Audrey Hepburn quote “to plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow” on the front and a pencil.

Wellbeing Kit

Getting back to nature supports our wellbeing, so sowing seeds and then creating something with the results is really beneficial. This simple kit includes three packets of seeds – Lavender (the scent is well known for calming a frazzled mind), Calendula which is very soothing and Mint to aid digestion. The three recipes include lavender shortbread, calendula balm and a mint mocktail. Plus a lined notebook with a positive quote by Audrey Hepburn “ To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow”.

Bird Feeders

There’s a choice of a metal heart or house shape (currently out of stock) – ideal for an apple or fatball (fatball recipe included to make your own), or the seedcakes which are very popular and make quirky gifts. The seedcakes come in either a heart, house or flower shape with gingham ribbon to hang from a tree. You could decorate a fir tree in the garden with them for a festive touch.

Seed Cards

Whilst this isn’t technically a stocking stuffer, it does make a useful addition to sending a plain Christmas (or gift) card. Plus I can write the card for you and send it direct to the recipient (only UK postcodes). It can also make an alternative place setting for your Christmas Dinner seating plan.

Seed choices are: Houseplant (Coleus), Cosmos, Bunnytail, Forget-me_nots, Geranium, Love-in-a-mist, Foxglove, Zinnia, Lavender, Wildflowers (for shade or sun), Calendula, or herbs (Mint, Parsley, Basil or Thyme). All card choices are listed online under the gift tab in the shop.
