Gifts for Bee Lovers

It’s that time of the year again, when bees do their part to pollinate the attractive flowers you see throughout the spring and summertime. From the hard-working honeybee to the colorful bumblebee, some people are head over heels in love with the insect. Usually, small children take a liking to bees, but there are many adults with a soft spot in their hearts for the fluttering creatures. If you’re looking to surprise a bee lover with a gift, consider the following suggestions:

Toys

From brightly colored stuffed animals decorating a bassinet to the wind-up insect that flaps a pair of plastic wings, the bee has a popular following in the toy department. For toddlers on the move, the Prince Lionheart Wheely Bug is not only a decent bee lover gift, but also doubles as an eco-friendly toy. Made entirely of non-toxic materials and contains no PVC, this handmade wheeled toy encourages hand-eye coordination and motor skills.

Glassware

With a history tracing back to 1475, La Rochere has been producing everyday glass products for centuries. From old-fashioned stemware to dessert plates perfect for entertaining guests, the Napoleon embossed bee inspired from a Napoleon travel set appears on many of their glassware options. You can choose from bee-decorated pitchers, highball glasses, iced tea glasses, pasta plates, wine goblets, champagne flutes, tumblers, and bowls.

Baby Products

Satisfy the bee-loving new mother in your life with chemical-free, organic baby gifts from Burt’s Bees, such as diaper ointment, shampoo, body wash, buttermilk lotion, nourishing baby oil, and bubble bath. For example, The Burt’s Bees Baby Bee Diaper Ointment contains the soothing power of chamomile, sweet almond oil, beeswax, and vitamins A and E. For a baby shower present, combine a handful of Burt’s Bees products to create a delightful gift basket.

Books on Bees

A diehard fan of bees may actually want to cultivate their own honey by becoming a beekeeper or simply learn how to support their own bee population when planting a garden. Educate your loved one with a book, such as The Backyard Beekeeper – Revised and Updated: An Absolute Beginner’s Guide to Keeping Bees in Your Yard and Garden. For the younger generation, select a handful of illustrated books, like The Beautiful Bee Book or Fuzzy Bee and Friends.

Jewelry

From eye-catching pendants to colorful brooches, there are plenty of jewelry options to consider when browsing birthday gifts for a bee lover. For example, this Sterling Silver Marcasite and Crystal Bee Pin offers an eye-catching black and white design with crisp crystals and dark marcasite stones that literally glimmer in the light.
