Butterflies are a source of joy and inspiration to many. While monarchs and other winged beauties have departed for warm weather destinations, these butterfly gift ideas help keep them close to our hearts, while awaiting their triumphant return next spring.
They also present an opportunity to share the joy of butterflies with others…
Below are 12 fantastic gift ideas for a butterfly lover in your life or some ideas to pass along to someone trying to make you happy for the holidays. Over the next three weeks new butterfly gifts will be posted here, until I’ve revealed all twelve gift ideas on Saturday, December 10th. Before I started this annual butterfly gift ideas list 12 years ago, I had no idea how many wonderful butterfly-themed gifts existed. Based on research and recommendations, I strive to include unique ideas to help you find the perfect butterfly gift for someone special in your life.

Milkweed is the lifeblood of monarch caterpillars and butterflies. It’s a valuable tool we can all use to help support the struggling monarch population across North America…
Milkweed is the conerstone of a successful monarch butterfly garden
Choose over 25 milkweed varieties to fit your region and growing conditions from natives, to perennials, to annuals.
Still not sure what type of milkweed seeds to purchase for your favorite butterfly gardener? Purchase a milkweed gift card from one of our recommended vendors…
4b. Joyful Butterfly Gift Card for Milkweed Seeds and Plants…and More!
Joyful Butterfly has emerged as one of the top online nurseries for supporting monarchs and other precious pollinators. They carry a variety of milkweed plants and seeds you’ll need to support a bounty of butterflies in your own back yard:
Etsy is a place for selling home made products and crafts, and that includes garden seeds and plants. This marketplace is growing quickly and there are a surprising amount of milkweed species available here from reputable sellers and home gardeners.
Organza bags can be used to tie around seed pods (before they burst open) to collect seeds outside…they also make great gift bags for seed stocking stuffers.
With the deep decline of monarch population in the past decade, the monarchs truly need a raising hand, and raising butterflies inside protective caterpillar cages can increase their survival rate from less than 5% to over 90%.
Best for raising indoors or inside a screened in porch, gazebo, greenhouse, etc (if outdoors must be protected from extreme wind, rain, etc.)
Choose your Size: Baby Cube= 15″ x 15″ x 15″h,TALL Baby= 15″ x 15″ x 24″h
Raise up to 10 monarchs at one time in Baby Cube + Tall Baby Cages
Drawbridge Door Design– no flap hanging in the way when accessing monarchs and milkweed
Handles for your carrying and hanging convenience
Two zippers- meet at top of cage so caterpillars that crawl on zipper can’t ‘lock you out’
Day 8- Caterpillar Cages with CLEAR MESH for 4-side Viewing
See-Through View on 4 Sides
