Best hedgehog gift ideas

Terracotta hedgehog planter

Is the hedgehog fan you have in mind also a plant lover? Then this cute, hedgehog-shaped planter by Sass and Belle is the perfect gift for them!

It’s ideal for housing and growing their favourite plant, especially a cacti or succulent due to the size of the planter (width 9cm x height 8cm x length 13.5cm).

Made from terracotta and adorned with a white geometric pattern and facial features, the indoor plant pot is hand-finished with a whitewash to enhance the matte look.

It will bring a touch of greenery to any room in their home!

Hedgehog highway sign

Hedgehogs are in severe decline in the UK and need as much help as possible. These mammals require neighbourhoods of gardens rich in insects that they can freely move between as they forage.

Linking your outdoor space with others by cutting a 13cm x 13cm hole in your garden wall or fence to create a hedgehog highway is one way you can make a difference. These hedgehog highway signs can be pinned above the hedgehog hole that a member of your family, friend or colleague has created.

They come in a pack of two and are made of recycled, green acrylic with pre-drilled holes. A sign ensures the highway is not blocked by anyone accidentally – and may encourage neighbours to follow suit.

Why not help hedgehogs further by introducing a hedgehog house for them to nest or hibernate in? Here are the best hedgehog houses to buy for your wildlife garden

Heatable plush hedgehog

On cold winter nights, who doesn’t want to snuggle up on the sofa or in bed with a warm soft toy, especially when it’s an adorable cuddly hedgehog?

Pop this Warmies beige hedgehog in the microwave for 90 seconds (up to a 1000W microwave) and it will provide hours of soothing heat and comfort.

The luxurious plush design is gently scented with lavender and is suitable for all ages.

Clean the surface using a damp cloth and allow it to dry at room temperature – it can’t be immersed in water.

It can, however, be put in the freezer and used for cooling relief too!

The fluffy hedgehog is weighted and meets British, European and American safety standards. It is also available in grey.

Hedgehog outline drop earrings

If you’re buying for someone who adores one of Britain’s favourite mammals, why not buy them something that they can wear to advertise the fact?

Crafted from sterling silver, these hedgehog earrings have been designed by Reeves and Reeves to show the silhouette of a hedgehog (each earring measures approximately 1.5cm x 1cm), complete with spikes and an endearing face.

The hedgehogs sit on sterling silver hooks.

Buy from British Hedgehog Preservation Society

Hedgehog boot brush

Is the member of your family, friend or colleague someone who enjoys spending time outside and frequently comes home with muddy boots? This is what they need!

A cast iron frame with hedgehog detailing holds the boot brush.

The practical and attractive present will add rustic charm to an entrance and reduce the amount of dirt brought into their home.

It measures 25.3cm (width) x 15.8cm (height) x 15cm (depth).
