Tired of bunnies and eggs? Shared Earth is trying something different this spring, which is when the bees are supposed to start buzzing and the butterflies come out. Unfortunately, pesticides and other damage to the environment has led to a severe decline in their numbers, which of course affects all our eco systems because it’s bees (not rabbits) that pollinate our flowers and crops. Therefore, Shared Earth’s slogan this Easter is ‘Save our Bees!’ According to the company, “This is just one of our products, a charming play-beehive. The bees can be removed from their honeycomb, they have smiles on their faces and they definitely don’t sting. You couldn’t find cuter bees than this! They’re made in Sri Lanka by a Fair Trade supplier – making them has helped to keep the producers in work during the difficult lockdowns they had last year, as most are made by women in their homes.” Shared Earth’s catalogue includes a wealth of ‘Save our Bee’ products including mobiles, backpacks, finger puppets and purses. There are also several products for adults such as oil-burners, shopping bags, bamboo socks, greetings cards and coffee cups – a great eco product made from rice husks. The company continued, “We’re a specialist in recycled and other eco products, which we buy from over 20 countries around the world. Homeware, fashion, fragrance, garden, wildlife, inspiration, cards, stationery, and gifts – we have a huge selection including lots of own brand designs from our in-house designers.” T: +44 (0)1904 670 321 www.sharedearth-trade.co.uk Eneseco says of its Easter gifts, “Mischievous Stitch has taken off with your Easter basket so try and catch him if you can or entice him with his favourite, ‘Coconut Cake.’ Designed by Jim Shore, this fun-loving Disney Traditions piece is hand-painted in cheery springtime hues.

However, in many gardens, there’s limited space for hedgehogs to nest safely. This hedgehog house by Gifts Tomorrow is designed for hedgehogs to shelter, breed and hibernate inside. It will also help protect them and their babies from predators. Finding a safe and warm sheltered place to hibernate through the winter is of vital importance for hedgehogs. This shelter will also help protect hedgehogs from badgers and foxes although it is rare for them to be prayed on. The hedgehog house is made from firwood/pine wood and features a curved roof to help water to run off. It’s also suitable for squirrels. Products in the Wildlife range include Hedgehog House, Squirrel Feeder, Bat House and Bee Hotels. www.wholesalegiftstomorrow.co.uk The beautifully illustrated Soldier Egg Cup features the Queen’s Guard and a Beefeater and serves as a fun reminder of everything you love about the Big Smoke.
