12 Butterfly Gifts for the 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. Over the next four Saturdays three new butterfly gifts will be posted, until I’ve revealed all twelve gift ideas on November 28th.

Day 3- Give the Gift of Milkweed…and Nectar Seeds!
Why is milkweed a good butterfly gift idea?
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
- Milkweed is a must for those who want to raise monarch butterflies
- Milkweed is the gift that will come back every year to support new generations of monarchs

Don’t forget that monarchs also need fuel in the form of nectar…especially late in the season as they fly an impossible distance to reach overwintering grounds in the mountains of central Mexico and coastal California.
Asclepias curassavica (tropical milkweed) is both a host plant for caterpillars and a favorite annual nectar plant for butterflies that can be planted across North America. It blooms continuously throughout the summer until first frost:

3b. Ebay Gift Card for Milkweed Seeds and Plants
For years, eBay offered the best big marketplace to find a wide variety of milkweed seeds and plants. It still probably has the widest selection of milkweed available, but the competition is catching up fast. eBay sells everything under the sun, and a good gift certificate choice for the budget-conscious buyer.

3c. Amazon Gift Card for Milkweed Seeds and Plants
Amazon has many of the same milkweed sellers as eBay, and more seem to be migrating over. Like eBay, amazon sells everything and a gift certificate here is a great choice for those who value product reviews from other customers.
3d. Etsy Gift Card for Milkweed Seeds and Plants
Etsy is a place for selling home made products and crafts, and that includes seeds and plants. This marketplace wasn’t on my radar until recently, but there are a surprising (and growing) amount of milkweed species available here from reputable sellers and home gardeners. A fantastic gift certificate for those who value home made goods and crafts.

3e. Butterfly Organza Bags for Gifting seeds
Organza bags can be used to tie around seed pods to collect seeds outside, and they also make great gift bags for seed stocking stuffers.

3f. Milkweed Seed Ornaments for Decking the walls…or Gifting seeds
Most likely, your milkweed seeds have already been separated from their fluffy white companions, but it you’ve got some fluff to spare (or a crafty substitute) you can make your own milkweed seed ornaments just like community member Patti S:

Your final 12 Days of Butterflies Gift Idea will be revealed on November 30th, 2020 🦋 🎁💡
I would love to have No. 1. The garden stakes would let everyone know this is my space. This is where I go to just have peace and quiet from this busy and stressful world. The “butters” flying around bring contentment and smiles to me. My second choice would be No. 2. I make our masks and cannot find butterfly material…….so these would add to my “stash” and of course a Segway into the discussion of butterflies.
Kat Calhoun in CT = I would be happy to receive ANY of these great butterfly gift ideas 1-6. 3e is my top pick only because I’ve already ordered organza bags for gifting seed packets. I love the copper butterfly garden stakes, #1 … and would even like multiple colors of butterfly stakes. The face mask is generally not something I would want. However, in the time of pandemic, I would much prefer to wear a butterfly statement than anything else!
Milkweed seeds variety packages would be great because once the Monarchs arrive you never seem to have enough milkweed.
To give &/or receive: Milkweed seeds would be fun to try–I’ve never grown them from seed–there were varieties that I’ve never heard of.
The Posh Garden Creatures Planner–cheery cover all year long–all sorts of goodies inside to help a person stay organized.
I would be so happy to receive either of the garden stakes!! We have butterfly garden decor all around the yard, year round. The gift I love giving is the milkweed ornaments. I made several dozen last Christmas with two different size ornaments and two different types of Milkweed seeds. Not only do they look beautiful as an ornament you can also repurpose them after Christmas by planting more milkweed for the Monarchs. 🙂
I totally love your site even tho I’m from Florida .I found 6 cats today after 3 months of storms ,I was in heaven .I love raising them ,this was my first year ,I had raised 39 monarchs and a few other species.Now I can start counting my Monarchs again .I love the mask 2020 yuk .And for giving it would be awesome to give the organza bag ,so cool .Thank you for all you do🦋🦋
I would love to give and receive Milkweed Seeds! They will make great gifts for my gardener and interested in gardening friends. There can’t ever be too much Milkweed in and around our Earth!
I would absolutely love all the gifts but the one I’d like to gift to others or to myself would be the calendar as I could see butterflies all year round then and it looks like a very nice calendar. 🙂
What great ideas for Christmas gifts! I would choose for myself one of the Day 2 masks, as it would put a smile on everyone that I encounter. For gifting others, Day 3 milkweed and nectar seeds would be great for my daughter. She just bought a house near where I release my fall butterflies heading off to Mexico. Her yard definitely needs a butterfly pollinator garden. My grandaughter would love the Day 4 butterfly puzzles. She was the one that got me into raising Monarch butterflies along with her this last Spring. Just what we needed, outdoor activity we could do together during the shelter in place due to Coronavirus outbreak. Hopefully, this time will pass and things will get back to normal.
The day 1 garden stake would be my favorite gift to receive. I love placing items like this in my garden, they add a nice touch to the plants and flowers. I also like the day 3 seeds, you can never have too much milkweed! I also like the day 6 journal, I like to jot down just a note or two daily.
My favorite gift would be the beautiful organza bags…they would add a lot of color to my garden when placing them over seed pods! The best gift to give to someone would be the 6 pack of milkweed seeds! After all…you can’t help monarchs without milkweed!
Awesome post!
I would be so honored to be a winner! Unfortunately this season was a tough season on our Monarchs in CA. I feel that the soot from all the fires and the numerous days on end have affected our little friends. I would love to ramp up what I have since my habitats are now getting old and need replacement. I look forward to a fresh start in the spring and have hopes of better success in raising them to butterflies!!
Enjoyed seeing all the gift ideas and look forward to seeing the next. 6. I loved the little seed bags the best. I often pass on seeds to friends. The personalized yard stake was also an awesome gift choice.
Such wonderful gift ideas & products! The puzzles are a great idea for families during the Pandemic! We have been doing many with birds & butterflies!
I just love the 6pack of milkweed seeds! My grandkids really enjoyed the activity surrounding the milkweed & butterfly cycle this year so the seeds would be great for the five of them! And the pocket calendar is wonderful & useful too! Beautiful & practical! The stakes for the yard are a good idea for many too! Great Choices!!!
I love the masks and especially the seeds. Seeds are the gift that keeps on giving.
Its so hard to choose! I think I love them all with such cheery/colorful choices! Any of these would make great gifts! But if i have to choose, it would be the butterfly face masks or the butterfly wall calendar- with the pockets to keep receipts, seed packets, appointment cards-a genius idea 💡!!! Love it! 👌
I like the seed packets, butterfly face b masks and the butterfly wall calendar!
I liked the masks and the ornament. The calendar is always a good gift as well.
I agree with many who have suggested the Milkweed Seeds would be great gifts to give. The more milkweed growing, the better it is for our Monarch beauties. I also love the ornament and the planner. Raising Monarchs has been marvelous and mesmerizing!!
I love all of these! Hard to decide, but have two favorites:
The first is for giving. I love the seeds because these ultimately will help the monarchs …and all pollinators. Giving these helps educate people while proving food and nectar.
The second is for receiving. Love the ornament idea! It’s an enchanting way to admire and remember the butterflies over the cold winter months. This is the gift I would love to receive.
Great gift ideas!! The garden stake, seeds, calendar all would be nice to give or receive !
I would like the white butterfly mask. Its so unique.
I feel that the seed packages are the best gift to keep the migration strong in all areas possible.
By planting more Milkweed we ensure the best possible opportunities for a strong flock
Day 3 seeds will be the most beneficial. They will grow needed habitat.
All are wonderful, but my first choice for giving to others or to receive myself would be the masks. We can show we care about BOTH other people and about butterflies by wearing these pretty masks. When I wear my Mother of Monarchs or other butterfly shirts, people ask what it’s about, and the masks will have that same effect. My second choice would be seeds for gardening friends.
I love the butterfly garden stake. The butterfly calendar would be useful and beautiful.
So many great gift ideas! I’d have to go with the butterfly face mask if I had to choose, because it’s such a great way to showcase my passion while staying safe. After all… I see so many football team masks!
I would pick the garden planner for 2021. I love the nature artwork by Marjolein Bastin. She is one of my favorites. I like to keep notes and observations from my butterflies and plants. This would be a perfect gift for me!
I would love the butterfly stake where i could personalize the garden. I would also love the milkweed seeds since I have a hard time finding seedlings.
This is my first year raising Monarch butterflies and I simply love it! It is such an amazing process to watch them grow from the tiny eggs to the big beautiful vibrant butterflies they become! My daughter’s science teacher first inspired me last year to get involved and it has been such a beautiful process! I would love the garden stake to add to my plants inviting the butterflies to return. I also love the Christmas ornament which reminds me of them! Your website is beautiful and it is my go-to place for questions. Thank you!!!
For myself, I would love the butterfly mask. I have been looking for one. For my kids, I love the butterfly puzzle.
I would give the Butterfly Face Masks to my niece.
Why? We raise Monarch butterflies together. I helped her and her Mother plant a Monarch butterfly garden. My Niece released her first Monarch with me when she was 2 years old. My niece is now seven years old and battling cancer. She needs to wear face masks constantly, not just when she is in the hospital receiving treatments. These butterfly facemasks would make her smile.
I would love a butterfly mask because we wear them all the time now and it will show the love of butterflies I would give the gift of seeds to all my friends that show an interest in raising these beautiful creatures.
I would pick the butterfly mask (white one). I think it’s a cute way to spread some butterfly love while staying safe.
I would love the puzzle! I have an abundance of seeds currently, but seeds are a great gift. The planners are great little gifts for coworkers or friends.
I would choose the planner. I love to record when I see butterflies, when I see eggs, and chrysalis, then the newly born butterfly. I can keep track of the success in nature. I will be tagging the butterflies this year, so this will certainly be a great way to know when what was tagged.
I would love to receive a butterfly puzzle as a gift! Living in a senior community, so many people could enjoy it!
I would love to gift my niece with the Joyful Butterfly Garden seeds
I would choose the seed packets solely for that TropicalMW that blooms until the first frost!! Such a valuable nectar plant!
I would pick the annual seeds as what I like best. I go out every year and buy annuals. I also love the idea of gift cards for milkeed plants or seeds.
Monarch butterflies are my favorite..this past season was my second time to raise them and successfully released 29 beautiful adult Monarchs. I was able to involve my 7 year old grandson in the entire process of raising Monarchs and when we posted our pictures and videos to Face Book our neighborhood started a butterfly garden at our front entrance hosted with a large colorful butterfly and supplies of plants and milkweed furnished by our local electrical company, Liberty Utilities. So thankful for their help and support. Therefore, I would love the small organza bags with the colorful display of butterflies. I was able to save several seed pods from my milkweed and plan to share with my family and friends..the organza bags would be the best presentation possible for a gift of seeds and instructions. Save the Monarchs is so important and a good food source is necessary.
I would love to give or receive the seeds! They’re on my list, actually. I like to tuck seed packets or saved seeds into birthday and holiday cards. Everything else is beautiful and I’d love it too, and would love to give it to others, but seeds are so much fun because I love planting them and gardening, I love flowers, and it helps actual butterflies. Plus, you’ll attract butterflies and other pollinators to your garden! And then, you have the beautiful seed pods and fluffs in the fall, which are great for crafts. Milkweed pods are also used for pain cream, and I have bad arthritis, so I’d like to grow more pain-relieving plants this coming year. Seeds are just so full of promise. There’s something magical about putting them in the dirt and watching them sprout and grow into plants. Gardens and flowers are food for the soul.
I would love the butterfly personalized sign. This was my first year saving butterflies and it’s wonderful. I raised Black Swallowtail Butterflies. I enjoyed it so much that I have already purchased Milkweed seeds for the Monarchs I hope to raise next year.
I would love to receive the white butterfly mask because it is beautiful. I would like the organza bags to gift milkweed to people who don’t have any. This was my first year raising monarchs and I’m hooked!
What a variety of great items. I’d like the 6 pk of seeds, I love all the different colors. The garden stake with your name is sweet too. It’s so hard to find my name on anything.
I love them all. Tough decision, The Milkweed seeds or the calendar. The calendar is great idea for gifts and for myself.
Love, love, love all these wonderful gift ideas, but what a wonderful why to celebrate the spirit of giving, by giving seeds! Either Milkweed or beautiful pollinator loving perennial flower seeds is something I would give and love to receive! The organza bags and clear fillable ornaments make it extra special. It’s literally IS the gift that “keeps on giving”, year after year, both to the receiver and all God’s little creatures that benefit from this simple gesture of giving nature!
The masks are a sign of the times! The stakes would be nice in our community garden on Charlton Street in NYC.
Last year I bought the Butterfly Organza Bags for gifting seeds. I put seed bags filled with common milkweed seeds from pods I found in Riverside Park with Christmas cards or Milkweed Seed Ornaments that I made with the leftover fluf as small gifts. Everyone who got them loved them.
For myself, working from home, I would like the calendar since I was always losing track of what day it was.
The puzzle is beautiful! And seeds are always the perfect gift!
I love all the gift ideas and newsletters. As a newby to raising and developing gardens for monarchs, the seed starter sets would be appreciated. Especially as these are very difficult to find in my zone. The gift bags are a great way to keep others informed about the status of the monarchs. I am enjoying this connection with others with the same interests and concerns about the monarchs. They are my guarden angels.
i would like the calendar ,then each day you would see a beautiful picture for the day.
I like the butterfly calendar and the jigsaw puzzle. The butterfly Garden is also lovely. I planted one of those seed mixes this last spring and it was absolutely gorgeous!
I like the milkweed seed packs to give to others because seeds are a gift that keeps on giving. The butterfly mesh gift bags are also nice because they can be reused.
I love the personalized Butterfly Garden Stakes. Honestly, can’t decide if i’d keep it for myself or give as a gift. I’d have to buy two.
All of these gifts are lovely! I would especially like the butterfly garden stake and the milkweed seeds. The black mask with butterfly would be very useful at these strange times.
I love the milkweed seed packet varieties and the butterfly puzzles. The seed ornament is also very cool!
I have been saving/raising monarchs/swallowtails for a number of years. Just purchased tall bf cage last year. I would love the seed packets for my daughter as she has a greenhouse and raises plants for her abundance of cats that she gets in her veg garden. She can over winter many. The packets of seeds would be perfect for her. I love the seed ornaments for gifts. So pretty.
I think the seeds are the best. Having milkweed host plants for butterflies is the best way to support hutterflies.
My grandmother loved butterflies and passed the love for them to me as as child. She died when I was 5 and the sat of her funeral there was the most beautiful yellow butterfly dancing outside her home. I were oils live the butterfly stakes or the puzzle . To give away I would give the seeds to help bring more butterflies into other’s lives.
I love all the gift ideas.
Day 2 is my favorite because I need to redo my butterfly garden and I would love some milkweed and nectar seeds. I try different spots around my garden to if they will survive. The seeds’ option is the best way to save money and redo my garden.
I would want the purple Monarch mask. With the changes in the world now-a-days, we are complimenting each other’s masks. When someone would mention my mask I would thank them and give my reason for choosing it. We need butterflies and other pollinators to survive in this world, plus the Monarch is just one of God’s beautiful creations.
I would love to receive a butterfly metal yard ornament to put in our pollinator garden next summer! I would love to give the butterfly puzzle to my mom because we love doing puzzles together when we visit!
So many great gift ideas! I would love the clear ornaments to make milkweed seed ornaments for my tree, or the butterfly puzzle because its beautiful and I’m a puzzle freak. Also, would love the calendar so I could see butterflies every day of every month.
I would love the butterfly garden stake! I am a new monarch enthusiast- my 7 year old daughter and I raised and released 8 healthy monarchs this summer. We are hooked now! I’ve now bought and planted many, many native plants and made an entire bed to monarch waystation specs. I would love to have a butterfly garden stake to add some decor to it. I also think it would be fun if any monarch cats decided the stake was a good place to pupate from!
Milkweed & Nectar Seeds would be great for my garden. I’ve been adding to it every year and have room for more plants.
What a delightful assortment of gifts, to both give and receive!! I would love to receive the butterfly masks and the milkweed seeds, and know friends who would love to receive them too. I will pass this along to those who are kind enough to ask me if there’s anything I’d particularly like for Christmas!!
My Butterfly Garden would proudly place your personalized garden stake in with all the milkweed. I would love to share the milkweed seeds with my mom. I got her started on Save the Monarch garden. She loves trying new varieties, perfect gift.
I would love the garden stakes for myself. I really think they look nice. I would love the gift bags to give seeds to those who would love to have them. They would be so much prettier than a #10 envelope.
I would love the butterfly stakes for my flower beds. All of my flower beds are geared towards butterflies and hummingbirds, so I would love to decorate them with these beautiful butterfly stakes. I love the idea of being able to customize them, as well. As much time that I spend outside, I would get to admire them everyday!
I will love the milkweed seed packet of six. I have raised monarch butterflies for 3 years now in my small garden with store bought milkweed. It is so expensive. I have moved now to a bigger house and property and am so excited to sow these seeds in a larger area.
This was a tough choice! I’d be happy if anyone gifted any of them to me, but I have to say, the garden stakes and face masks were my favorite. Prices were reasonable too. I’m just going to copy the link and send it to Santa right now! 😁
I love the organza bags for seeds! I gave away milkweed seeds to probably 25 people this year, and they would have been much more pretty in these bags. 🙂
I love the butterfly garden stakes. When I walk my dog, I constantly tell people about my garden and the 43 monarchs I raised last summer. My garden is slightly hidden at the side of my house. Butterfly stakes put at the end by the front of the house will help them find it when they pass my way.
The butterfly gifts that I would most like to give would be the milkweed seed ornaments from day three. I think this is a very creative, quick, and easy present to give people that they would really enjoy. I would most like to receive the butterfly puzzle. I have never seen anything like this before, and I think it would be a lot of fun to complete.
I’d like to receive the milkweed seeds! I can’t plant enough milkweed which means of course I am always fighting aphids.
BJ, I had aphids so badly on a few of my milkweed plants (I have approx 12+ plants). I made up some Vinegar water, sprayed the plants and have not had any problems, since. Good Luck
Be safe

Beautiful gift ideas!
I love the monarch yard sign and LOVE the tree ornament filled with milkweed seed and fluff!
The gift I would most like to receive is the butterfly face mask!
COVID has been so troublesome. A beautiful butterfly mask is a wonderful way to brighten up the day!
I would love to send my family and friends the milk weed seed packets. I would love the butterfly calendar. I just started this year growing milk weed and raising Monarchs. Raised 28 this year and what fun it was to share with everybody. It was such a blessing.
The gift I would most love to give , and receive, would be the Milk Weed seeds. I live near a protected reserve in eastern NC. Behind my house there is protected land and I would love to spread the seeds there along my own land. That way there will be more than enough food for the butterflies. Every year my friends and family are amazed at the butterflies that are in my yard. I have all varieties. This was the first year I raised butterflies. I had Monarch as well as Swallowtails. It was such a satisfying experience. I have two small grandsons who I watch while my daughter and her husband are at work. This year was challenging .Trying to keep two rambunctious boys busy was hard. But my oldest grandson was so excited to help me. The first butterflies that hatched were in my kitchen. I was still getting a plan together. He saw them hatch and he loved it. Every time we were together he wanted to help me. And when we talked he always wanted to know how our butterfly family was doin. I hope our experiences teach him how precious nature is and how we can do our part to protect it.
The seeds would be nice to have to plant in the spring with my First Grade Class in our garden area. . Oh how they love to watch the monarch caterpillars each fall. Would the plants provide the leaves we need to feed our caterpillars in the fall?
Such great gift ideas ! Sending the email to my dtr for ideas for me 🙂
I would love the organza bags. I love the butterfly stake too! Thank you for the chance to win.
I would like to get the metal butterfly garden stake. Hard to choose among so many great gift ideas, though😉
I would LOVE to donate milkweed seeds and plants to a young family I corresponded with via Facebook this summer. I periodically took photos and movies of our trials and tribulations in raising monarchs. They were so into it that I sent them two books on kids raising monarchs. They LOVED it!!!
I would love the butterfly yard ornament. I have quite a few yard art ornaments and the butterfly would e a great addition to my other pieces
I would love to get the calendar and the planner. I would enjoy the beautiful pictures when I hang it at work. I use a planner every year and this will be a perfect one!
I’d most like to receive the butterfly puzzle. My family loves to do puzzles together, particularly over the holidays.
I love the milkweed and nectar plant seeds! An excellent gift to help our precious Monarchs. And the puzzle is amazing!! My daughter would really love it.
I love the masks & shirts. The colors are nice and when I wear my shirt, I always get lots of compliments and questions about what we do. It gives me a chance to share my knowledge and hopefully encourage more people to raise monarchs.
The colorful butterfly mask is perfect for everyone. I think we’re going to be wearing them for at least another year so this as a gift would be welcomed.
Some great gift ideas! The butterfly masks are timely and I would love to have the white one. Seeds for a butterfly garden are always a great gift for butterfly lovers. This past year I’ve been reading about people putting organza bags on their milkweed seed pods so I like that they are being sold here because I didn’t know where to get them.
I especially like the metal marker you can personalize and the butterfly mask.
ALL OF THEM!!! What would be more unique than “counting down” the days until X-mas with beautiful butterflies to keep our thoughts and actions warm for the holidays! Absolutely all of them are welcomed with any of us this year!
I would love to receive any of the milkweed seeds – so I can add them to my ever-growing pollinator garden. I have a few other family members with green thumbs who would appreciate them as well. My wife would absolutely LOVE that butterfly puzzle, as she loves butterflies as well as putting together puzzles. This puzzle is also a work of art that would look beautiful on a wall after it’s finished.
I would enjoy the butterfly mask. I purchased the monarch butterfly evolution shirt at the beginning of the summer and get comments and questions when I wear it. I love explaining how I’ve now raised monarchs for two consecutive summers.
I like all of them . My favorites are the puzzle, the masks, and the Christmas ornament.
I would love to give the milkweed seeds to my nieces who have discovered the joy of watching butterflies grow. They are 8 and 10 and have developed quite a fascination with all things natural.
I liked the butterfly stakes so much I ordered 3!!! Perfect gift for my butterfly loving friends.
I like the idea of seeds so I’ll go for Day 3… I’d choose seeds because even though their size is small, they’d pack a huge punch in providing life and longevity for Monarchs. Having multiple varieties of Milkweed plants would also give me an idea of which plants would be better for the Monarchs I raise. I have the Tropical plants and although they are wonderful for the caterpillar and butterfly stages, they seem to be susceptible to many diseases in my area. All the choices are lovely…
I would most like to give or receive Day 1, the butterfly garden stake. It would make a great addition to anyone’s garden 😊
I would most like to receive the hummingbird planner and the butterfly pocket calendar….but I’d give them as gifts too😊
Well depending on who I’m gifting for, I know the milkweed seed packs would be a great gift for anyone who’s looking to start their own butterfly garden. I have so many friends and family who see my garden and the monarchs I attract and raise, and would love to start a butterfly garden and monarch Waystation of their own!!! The butterfly & hummingbird calendar and planner is also a great gift!!! The butterfly and milkweed ornament is a very unique gift and I think my parents and close loved ones would love and appreciate receiving this gift from me because monarchs are something near and dear to my heart. As for me, I would take the milkweed seeds, ornament, planner or calendar!!!
This was my first year of monarch tending. I bought my first milkweed when I was furloughed. It kept me going all summer long! I had worked long hours cooped up in a cubicle and no energy to spend outdoors. The subsequent layoff gave me new purpose with the outdoor world. I started working on the deck, buying more seeds and milkweed to feed my hungry guests. Everything is in pots at the moment. Once the deck is completely repaired, I want to start creating my butterfly and pollinator friendly garden. I’d love to have the personalized garden stake as a gift. I would want to give the seeds as gifts to spread my newfound love of monarchs. Since I’m on the gulf coast, I still have monarchs, fritillaries, and yesterday I had a gorgeous long tail skipper feeding on the milkweed!
All the items are so creative and beautiful it is hard to choose. For myself and for our school butterfly garden I would choose the garden stake
I really like the metal butterfly garden signs.. I am always looking for things like that to put in my gardens. The Milkweed ornament is beautiful! I also like the milkweed seed packets – It can be hard to find them or milkweed plants.
I would most like to give or receive Day 1- Butterfly garden stakes. These would make nice addition to my butterfly garden.
I would love to have the seed packs to add to my butterfly garden. butterfly weeds bring in the beautiful flying flowers into my Gardens for everyone to enjoy and for the monarchs hopefully to have a better year in 2021
I would like to receive a cute personalized garden stake sign. I spend a lot of time tending my flower garden and even more time sitting on the deck admiring it and I would get a kick out of seeing that stake every day.
The gift I would like to give is the Butterfly Organza Bags. I have some purple ones that I use to gift samples of essential oils. I have been saving seeds every year, I have many varieties of milkweeds, zinnias, Bee Balm, etc. We have many gardeners where I live, close to a Monarch Sanctuary. This would be a lovely gift. (plus some nice organic lavender oil for the gardener)
The gift I would love to receive is the Butterfly stake with it engraved with our garden’s name “Grant St. Garden” We are a certified Way Station for Monarchs and we have passionflowers for Gulf Fritillaries and pipevine for Swallowtails.
The gift that is good to receive as well as give is the ornament for the milkweed fluff, I love craft projects and that looks like fun! Off to get some!
The pocket wall calendar would be a wonderful gift.
I like them all, but the ornament filled with milkweed seeds is beyond unique! Wow, what an idea!
I love the butterfly pot stakes. Gorgeous colors.
I luv the butterfly metal sculpture. Can always use the calenders! Thanks for your informative website!!
I just moved from Florida to Georgia and I saw no monarchs here since Feb. I would love the send packages to try to bring more monarchs into this area. We have so many flowers around here but NO milkweed! I would also love to give that as a gift to encourage others to make natural homes for migrating butterflies!
I love all of the gifts but I especially love the calendar and coloring book.
Great gift ideas! Would love the butterfly garden stake and also more milkweed seeds, especially purple milkweed.
It would be awesome to have the variety pack of seeds. That way I could plant milkweed types that are not sold in local stores. And I could share seeds with neighbors since there are 100 seeds of each variety. Our neighborhood would be filled with butterflies!
I would love to give and get the butterfly calendar
Would be great to have a new butterfly every day, but I will take every month!
I will give butterfly calendar so nice to see butterflies every month
I will give butterfly calendar so nice to see butterflies every month
Butterfly calendar my friend would love it or the planner both are great
I think I’d like most to receive a butterfly face mask. It would be appropriate because I’m the “butterfly lady” at the school where I teach, and it would be a wonderful symbol of new life on a necessary evil part of life right now. I think I’d be most likely to give a butterfly garden stake because I have several relatives and friends who like to garden, have pollinator gardens, and like to decorate their garden with artwork.
They are all so lovely and unique, with very high quality. I would love to receive the Natures Inspirations Planner and would definitely give the garden stakes to my friend, my sister’s and myself!
I would like to receive the 6-pack of milkweed seeds to give to the women that I teach to raise Monarchs. I have TONS of common milkweed seeds, but I think it would be nice to give a different variety of seeds along with the common seeds.
since we need mask for school, love the mask and would be a great way to reward our students who help out with the garden! personally, asking for the beautiful calendar..
Great ideas! I would love to give the ornaments as gifts. My daughters (25 and 30) and I had so much fun watching, recording, photographing and raising monarchs while they (the girls) lived (although the monarchs were living in the house, too!) with us during the pandemic summer. The ornaments would be beautiful reminders of the time we spent together learning about monarchs.
It is very hard to choose since all of these are so good ! I like Days 1,3,5. Seeds for butterfly weed are very important to become host plants for the liberty’s survival.
Thank you for all that you do to promote our wonderful monarch butterflies !
All of these are amazing gifts!!! I probably would pick the garden stake so I could enjoy seeing it all season in my milkweed gardens. What a fun idea!🐛🦋
I absolutely love the butterfly puzzle!! That would be a perfect Christmas Day activity for our family.
I’d love to receive or give gift three. This would draw and nourish more monarchs. I love knowing I’m helping the population!
The butterfly gift idea that I would give would be the butterfly organza bags. They are so beautiful and perfect to add milkweed seeds in. I chose this gift idea because I want to see more people turning parts of their yard into pollinator gardens. No matter how big or small a garden, one plant can go a long way. Getting at least just one person to see how important it is to protect monarchs and provide a habitat for them will make my day. I’m a true testament of how powerful a person’s involvement can infect others. I love Monarchs and if it wasn’t for my neighbor introducing me to them, I probably wouldn’t be where I’m at today.
There isn’t one of these that I wouldn’t love to have as a gift. I especially love the masks and the Milkweed and Nectar plant seeds are a great gift idea for someone new to butterfly gardening. Might encourage them to get started. The wall calendar is great. You can still have butterflies when the butterflies aren’t around. All great gift ideas.
I’d like to give AND receive the milkweed seed packet varieties to see which grow best in my garden and which seem to be preferred by monarchs and other butterflies, We enjoyed raising butterflies in our Baby Cube so much this past summer that we shared the experience and a Baby Cube with friends and will be gifting one to our grandkids this Christmas. I also love the idea of the planner to keep a record of our observations!
I would love to receive Day 3 as I have been teaching my 8 year old great niece all about the Monarchs and she absolutely loves them and is so proud when she let’s them “fly free”. The seeds will be for her to plant her own little milkweed garden and to have fun learning everything she can. She can’t wait to begin again next year! She would be so excited and blessed to receive these seeds of love to help the Monarchs.
Thank you so much for having this contest!
These are all such lovely gifts it is hard to choose! I would love the personalized garden stake- it would be such a nice addition to my butterfly garden!
I love puzzles so I choose the large butterfly puzzle as the best gift. When it is Winter butterfly lovers can work on the puzzle while dreaming of Spring.
Such lovely gift ideas. I would love to give the garden stake, personalized, with a pack of milkweed seeds to my 3 young cousin’s. They are curious and would love watching the plants flower and attract the butterflies. As well as watching the catapillars munch and grow!
These are all such lovely gifts it is hard to choose! I would love the personalized garden stake- it would be such a nice addition to my butterfly garden! I might even get another to gift to my kids- who have their own butterfly garden in their yard. So fun!
I loved the garden stake. What a great idea for my gardening daughter. I had never seen wilkweed seeds before. I have been wanting some other than common milkweed. I always get a planner every year. Everything is beautiful.
I think I’d like to receive the butterfly puzzle the most! Because we’re spending more time indoors now and with the cold winter coming, it would be a welcome distraction that also takes you back to fonder memories of monarch raising in the warmer months!
I would love the garden stakes or butterfly calendar. The garden stakes would be a wonderful addition to my butterfly garden. The calendar would be a great way to have butterflies in my life the entire year while helping me to keep organized.
Love the Butterfly Stake. My son would love the Milkweed seeds. He lives in Anoka, MN and is trying to get a butterfly garden started
I love love love them all great gift ideas!!
I love the butterfly garden stake – who doesn’t want butterflies in their garden year-round? I sure do! I’m also very inclined to make a seed ornament for myself!
Everything here is lovely, but I would love to give or receive the 6 pack of milkweed seeds…because you can’t have too many milkweed plants!
Love most of them! My top choice would be the puzzles. My kids and I do many puzzles in the winter, and these are bright, colorful and have cute , interesting pieces as well. I would love to have one of my own and wouldn’t hesitate to get one as a gift.
The Butterfly Garden Stake would really be an eye catching addition in the garden. I love the height, nice and tall so it can be seen over all those Milkweed plants! The personalization makes it clever and whimsical. Would love this in my butterfly garden.
I love all of the gift ideas, it’s difficult to choose! For myself I would love the puzzle. For gift giving, I would choose milkweed seed packets so that others can experience the joy of raising monarchs.
I love the butterfly stake and the planners. I use both extensively and two of my friends would like them
Really love the personalized signs and Butterfly Masks. I love to put signs up in my Butterfly garden which is getting bigger every year. I love wearing different masks when I go out. My husband change them up. We’re going to be wearing them for a while so why not have fun with them.
I would like to give the milkweed seed packets – particularly the tropical milkweed which I haven’t found where I live. I am always promoting Butterfly gardens and giving milkweed pods to friends to get them started, so these would be great as gifts.
I love them all….I think I’d like, above all, would be the Butterfly/Hummingbird Planner. I like to record when I see my first male & female Hummer & then the last date I see them & I record all my info on raising Monarch’s from first sighting, to finding eggs, hatchlings, the entire cycle ending with total of my release for the season. So that would be awesome!
I would love to have the milkweed seeds bc I can’t find them and the organizers that away I can plan my next year gardens then I would like the masks bc some people are not even allowed in their own yards ty
I’d love the milkweed seed packs! I have been rooting cuttings and sharing milkweed with friends. They are always so excited when the see their first cat! This would be an awesome treasure ! I could really “share the Monarch love.”
Each gift is fantastic! Personally, I would choose the milkweed filled ornament. It would look great on the tree, and you can spend time admiring the tree and planning your butterfly garden for next year.
So far my favorites are the butterfly garden stakes. Since I spend so much time in the garden it would be a gift I could see 10 months out of the year.
typically I would love the garden stake, but this year my favorite would be a shirt or hoodie to bring me cheer during these difficult times being stuck indoors.
Oh man these are all such great ideas! I think the one I’d love to give to any butterfly fan would be the Christmas ornament. So beautiful and so timeless ! Thank you for this !
I would love to receive a butterfly stake because it can be placed in a butterfly garden to enjoy while I pull weeds or look for caterpillars to raise, to admire while I’m waiting for real butterflies to visit, or to just add beauty to my garden. It’s the perfect gift for someone who has enjoyed teaching students about the butterfly life cycle for over 30 years.
Ohboyohboy! Tough call. I’m gonna cheat. I’d LOVE to get the puzzle, What fun!! But I think I’d give the seed gift cards to ETSY. Amazon does NOT need us. Etsy is now a bit commercial, but it’s still better than the Amazon streamroller.
I love the butterfly personalized signs and the gift of milkweed.
I am starting a new butterfly garden and those gifts are just what I need! And the spheres with milkweed inside? Adorable!
I love the seed packets and the ornament filled with milkweed seeds, and the butterfly pocket wall calendar.
What great ideas! I am all about receiving seeds! Can never have too many butterfly plants and flowers! I just love watching the butterflies and releasing ones I raise knowing they have plenty of food around to survive!
