Webp 22edited

There’s nothing worse than trying to find a gift for someone and not knowing what to get them.

To take the guesswork out of gift buying, we’ve found practical and helpful gifts for any occasion, sorted by theme to help find everything you are looking for.

Top 5 “Summer Essentials” Gifts

1) Dew Drop Window Feeder
The dew drop window feeder provides an inviting spot for feathered friends to pop by for a snack, and gives admirers an unobstructed view of the bird's meal time. The feeder can be hung near or suctioned to a window, and its clear design lets folks see birds in all their up-close glory.

2) Mosquito Repellent Incense Sticks
Ward off pests with natural mosquito repellent incense sticks. High concentrations of citronella, cedarwood, rosemary, and other oils naturally combat mosquitoes and smell great, too. This formula doesn’t contain any DEET or petroleum, and the incense is clean-burning, so you can feel good about using it.

3) Home Microgreens Growing Kit
Hamama®: Home Microgreens Growing Kit - Starter Kit with Bamboo Frame

4) Murphy's Naturals Mosquito Repellent Incense Cones
Ward off pests with natural mosquito repellent incense cones. High concentrations of citronella, cedarwood, rosemary, and other oils naturally combat mosquitoes and smell great too. This formula doesn’t contain any DEET or petroleum and the incense is clean-burning, so you can feel good about using it.

5) Potted Calathea Rattlesnake
The Calathea Lancifolia (also called Calathea Rattlesnake) sprouts dark green leaves that have unique lighter green ripples. Calathea plants are native to tropical South and Central America, Africa, and the West Indies. They're grown primarily for their beautiful wavy leaves and purple undersides.
