Eden Project

Our favourite gifts under £5

Looking for some small but quirky gift ideas? We’ve cut the stress out for you by creating this handy gift guide of presents under £5 that are bound to please anyone. Plus, by ordering through us your money will help our educational charity right here at Eden.

1. Birdie bistro house £5

This is the stuff bird’s dreams are made of: a house built out of food, just like Hansel and Gretel’s! This fun gift is perfect for young or old, male or female. There are refills available once the birds have eaten the house.

2. Frog instrument £3.50

This frog instrument will sit proudly on any office desk. His hand-carved back creates a percussive sound when you scrape it with the wooden stick. Not just musical and cute, this little fella is made out of sustainable wood from Thailand.

3. Tagua bracelet £4.50

This popular bracelet is made out of the tagua nut – also known as ‘vegetable ivory’. Unlike real ivory, the story behind this material is a much better one to wear: the nut is simply left to dry out for three years before it’s hand shaped and polished, and coloured with natural dye. The bracelet is stretchy, so will look bright and funky on any sized wrist.

4. Baby teddy bear £5

This lovable bear isn’t just for toddlers and kids – we all need someone to cuddle. He’s made out of soft bamboo fibre, so he gives the warmest, cuddliest clutch. Bamboo is a great material because it grows much faster than cotton, needs fewer pesticides and can grow on the steepest hillsides.

5. Trigger torch £2.50

This torch contains no batteries, but charges up when you squeeze the trigger. Ideal for finding your way back to the car, getting home from school safely or keeping in an emergency kit. The LED light will stay bright for up to fifty times longer than a standard bulb, so it’s economical too.

6. Seed bomb £5

This kit makes up to 20 seed bombs to brighten up any garden. It’s a fun, quirky gift for only a fiver. Great for people who have a garden, allotment, window box, or even just a muddy strip by the house – it’ll liven up anywhere.
