Squirrels are full of energy, charm, and curiosity—and so are the people who love them! If you’re searching for the perfect gift for a squirrel lover in your life, I’ve gathered some unique ideas that are sure to bring a smile. Whether they enjoy watching squirrels scurry around in the garden or simply adore their playful personalities, these gift ideas will hit the mark.
1. Squirrel-Themed Art
A beautiful piece of squirrel-themed art makes a thoughtful and personal gift. My red squirrel painting captures the lively spirit of this rare and adorable creature. Whether it’s displayed in the living room or a cosy study, wildlife art is a perfect way to bring nature indoors while celebrating the unique personality of squirrels.
I have squirrel prints available too in several sizes.
Tip: Pair the artwork with a sleek frame or a set of matching prints to create a gallery wall dedicated to their love for wildlife.
2. Squirrel Feeders and Bird Feeders
For the squirrel lover who enjoys spending time in the garden, a squirrel-friendly feeder is a fantastic gift. These feeders are designed to give squirrels easy access to food, while keeping the birds well-fed too! Watching the acrobatic antics of squirrels trying to get to the food can provide endless entertainment.
Tip: Choose a durable, weather-resistant feeder and pair it with a selection of nuts or seeds to make the gift complete.
3. Squirrel-Themed Accessories
Help them show off their love for squirrels everywhere they go with some cute squirrel-themed accessories. Consider options like squirrel-shaped jewellery, scarves, or even a cosy blanket featuring woodland creatures. These fun, quirky pieces can bring a bit of wildlife flair into their everyday life.
Tip: For a more personal touch, look for handmade or artisan-crafted squirrel accessories to make the gift extra special.
4. Squirrel-Inspired Books
Whether it’s a fun children’s book or a nature guide that dives into the lives of UK red squirrels, books are always a great gift for animal lovers. There are plenty of beautifully illustrated books that explore the world of squirrels and their woodland companions, making it a perfect cosy reading experience.
Tip: Pair the book with a squirrel bookmark or even a personalised bookplate for an extra thoughtful touch.
5. Garden Decorations and Ornaments
For the squirrel lover with a green thumb, consider adding a touch of squirrel-themed décor to their outdoor space. From playful squirrel statues to garden stakes shaped like these bushy-tailed critters, you can help bring their love of squirrels into the great outdoors.
Tip: Look for eco-friendly or handmade garden decorations for a gift that’s both thoughtful and kind to the environment.
6. Squirrel Calendars
If they love squirrels as much as you think, why not gift them a calendar. A beautifully photographed squirrel calendar can bring a smile to their face every month, while a photo book captures the cheeky nature of these wonderful creatures all year round.
Tip: Consider pairing the calendar with a custom squirrel mug or other matching accessories to round out the gift.
7. Adopt a Red Squirrel
For the truly eco-conscious squirrel lover, adopting a red squirrel on their behalf is a meaningful and lasting gift. Many wildlife organisations offer adoption programmes that support the conservation of red squirrels and their habitats. Along with the adoption, the recipient usually gets a certificate and regular updates on the animal they’re helping to protect.
Tip: Pair the adoption certificate with a red squirrel print from my collection to create a nature-themed gift that gives back to the environment.
Squirrels are beloved for their playful and curious nature, and these gifts are perfect for the squirrel lover in your life. Whether it’s a thoughtful piece of art, a fun accessory, or a way to support squirrel conservation, you’re sure to find something that speaks to their passion for these energetic animals.
