Gifts for Nature Lovers: Wildlife and Woodland Jewellery They'll Love

Gifts for nature lovers: a hand carved tiger's eye bear necklace

Some people are happiest with mud on their boots. They know the name of every bird in the garden, stop mid-walk to admire a mushroom, and would choose a wild swim over a spa day every time. If you are shopping for someone like that, you will want a gift that feels as wild and wonderful as the places they love.

Nature is at the heart of everything we make. Our founder Trish draws her inspiration from wildlife and habitats around the world, especially beautiful British Columbia and the dramatic west coast of the Isle of Skye. So here are our favourite gifts for nature lovers: wolves, bears, whales and turtles, leaves and toadstools, all hand carved from gemstone. Every piece is made in Cornwall, vegan and cruelty free, and 5% of every sale goes to Pacific Wild to help protect the Great Bear Rainforest.

1. Gifts for Wolf Lovers

The wolf is a symbol of loyalty, instinct and family, a reminder to trust your gut and look after your pack. Our hand carved wolves are some of our most loved pieces, each one carved from gemstone with its own expression. Choose a small labradorite wolf with flashes of blue magic, or a golden tiger's eye wolf for courage. A wolf necklace is a meaningful gift for anyone who feels most themselves out in the wild. See all our wolf necklaces.

2. Gifts for Bear Lovers

Bears stand for strength, protection and knowing when to rest (hibernation is a skill, after all). They are also especially close to our hearts: the Great Bear Rainforest on Canada's Pacific coast, home to grizzlies, black bears and the rare white spirit bear, is exactly what Pacific Wild works to protect. Our obsidian bear is sleek and glossy, our labradorite bear shimmers like the northern lights, and the tiger's eye bear glows a warm honey gold. Browse all our bear necklaces.

3. Gifts for Ocean Lovers

For the wild swimmers, rock-poolers and anyone who feels most at home by the sea. Whales are gentle giants, symbols of wisdom, communication and deep emotion, and our hand carved sperm whales come in obsidian, labradorite and oceanic rainbow chrysocolla. See all our whale necklaces.

Leatherback sea turtles have been swimming our oceans since the time of the dinosaurs, and they stand for patience, endurance and finding your way home. Our moss agate sea turtle is a little piece of the ocean to wear. Browse our sea turtle necklaces, and for something truly otherworldly, our serpentine jellyfish is a dreamy little drifter.

4. Gifts for Woodland Wanderers

For the forest bathers, mushroom spotters and lovers of a long autumn walk. Our hand carved leaf necklaces are a symbol of growth and our connection to the natural world, carved from stones like labradorite, smoky quartz and serpentine. Read all about the meaning of a leaf necklace.

And for a little woodland magic, our white moonstone toadstool necklace is pure fairy-tale. Pair it with a bottle of our Forest Ritual oil, a blend of Douglas fir, cedarwood, frankincense and sandalwood that smells just like a walk in the woods.

5. Gifts for Plant Lovers

Know someone whose home is more jungle than living room? Our hand carved monstera leaves are inspired by the much-loved cheese plant, in African jade, labradorite and rainbow chrysocolla. See our monstera leaf jewellery. For the flower lovers, our hand carved labradorite rose is a bloom that never fades.

6. Earthy Crystals for Nature Lovers

Every crystal is a little piece of the earth, but some feel especially wild. Moss agate looks like a tiny forest frozen in stone (read our moss agate guide), malachite swirls like a river through a green valley (malachite guide), and obsidian is born from volcanoes (obsidian guide). Our A-Z crystal guide has many more.

A Gift That Gives Back

We donate 5% of all proceeds to Pacific Wild, a brilliant organisation working to protect the Great Bear Rainforest and the wolves, bears, whales and other creatures that call it home. They work alongside First Nations communities, scientists and other organisations to defend wildlife and their habitat on Canada's Pacific coast. So every wolf, bear or whale you give helps to look after the real ones too. Every piece we make is also cleansed, energy infused, vegan and cruelty free. For more ideas, see our gifts for coffee lovers and stocking fillers for women.
