Twelve days of Butterflies- Butterfly Gift Ideas for 2024
12 Butterfly Gifts for Happy Holidays
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.

Before I started this annual butterfly gift ideas list 12 years ago, I had no idea how many wonderful butterfly-themed gifts existed.
