Animal Gifts 4 U

As autumn sets in and the days grow shorter, we’re embracing the season of slow living, warm drinks, and thoughtful gifting here at Animal Gifts. Our online shop is full of hand-picked treasures designed to bring comfort, character, and creativity into your home—delivered straight to your door.

This month, we’re celebrating three of our favourite British brands that combine charm with craftsmanship, all while supporting sustainability.

🦊 Quail Ceramics – Full of Character

Autumn is the perfect season to welcome a few new creatures into your home—and Quail Ceramics never disappoints. These hand-painted, collectable animal pieces bring personality to any corner, from elegant vases and jugs to fun, functional items like salt & pepper shakers and pen pots.

Lovingly designed in the UK by skilled artisans, every piece has its own unique charm. Whether you’re gifting or treating yourself, Quail’s woodland and pet-inspired designs are a perfect match for this cosy time of year.

🎨 Karen Jane Art – Charcoal Realism at Its Finest

We’re honoured to stock prints and originals by Karen Jane, a talented UK artist known for her expressive charcoal realism. Her work captures the emotion and soul of wildlife and beloved pets with incredible detail and depth.

Karen’s pieces make a meaningful, personal gift—or a striking addition to your own walls as we head indoors for the colder months.

🍵 Roy Kirkham – Autumn Tea Time Essentials

Is there anything better than a hot drink on a chilly day? Our selection of Roy Kirkham fine bone china mugs and teapots brings a touch of elegance to your tea time. With timeless designs featuring British wildlife, florals, and countryside scenes, these pieces are made in England and built to last.

They also make lovely gifts—why not pair one with a favourite tea blend and a good book for the ultimate autumn moment?

🌍 Eco-Friendly, Always

At Animal Gifts, we believe in gifts that feel good—and do good too. That’s why we carefully choose brands that value craftsmanship, ethical production, and sustainability. From UK-made products and minimal packaging to long-lasting design, we’re committed to reducing waste and supporting responsible makers.

We like to think that every order you place helps support a greener, more mindful way to shop.

As summer softens into autumn and the days begin to cool, September invites us to take stock, slow down, and savour life’s thoughtful details. It’s a month of transition—of mellow light, changing leaves, and cosy intentions.

Quail Ceramics: Whimsy at the Table

Whether you’re hosting a weekend brunch or sipping tea solo, Quail Ceramics adds a touch of countryside charm to your table. These delightfully hand-painted animal vessels—ranging from Westie pencil pots to Panther egg cups—are as functional as they are collectible. Each piece is crafted with care and a wink of humour, making them perfect conversation starters or thoughtful gifts.

For September, we’re loving their woodland-inspired pieces—foxes, owls, and hedgehogs that echo the season’s crisp, russet palette. Pair them with a rustic linen table runner and a scattering of conkers or dried leaves for a cosy tablescape that feels unmistakably autumnal.

Amelia Florence: Wrapping Paper That Tells a Story

Gifting season is just around the corner, and Amelia Florence’s beautifully illustrated wrapping papers bring a fresh, animal-inspired take to your gift-giving ritual. Her designs often draw on different animals, from her surroundings to seasonal animals such as robins.

September is a wonderful month to stock up on wrapping essentials before the rush. Think ahead to birthdays, or back-to-school tokens—each made even more special when wrapped in Amelia’s soft, hand-drawn prints. Pro tip: her papers also double as drawer liners or art prints!

🌿 

Silhouette Garden Ware: Functional Elegance for Autumn Gardens

As we turn our attention to pruning, potting, and prepping for cooler weather, Our Garden Ware offers practical hanging basket brackets  and accessories with undeniable style. Known for their sleek lines and robust craftsmanship, their garden accessories elevate everyday outdoor chores.

This month consider their silhouette range, ideal for late-summer blooms and early autumn plantings. For those with limited outdoor space, their indoor-friendly brackets and key racks bring a quiet elegance to windowsills and conservatories.

---

✨ September Notes

This is the season of soft light and quieter days—the perfect time to gather beautiful things that make everyday rituals more joyful. Whether it’s a charming jug, a beautifully wrapped parcel, or a hanging basket bracket that turns gardening into a pleasure, these brands remind us that utility and beauty can go hand in hand.

Wishing you a September filled with gentle transitions, golden afternoons, and small delights. 

Love, Milly

Dear beautiful blog readers

Welcome to our monthly blog, where we explore a world of fresh ideas and stimulating discussions. Each edition features unique products and inspiring concepts to keep your home decor refreshed and to help you find the perfect gifts.

We have a beautiful range of china tea ware by Roy Kirkham, featuring a wide range of gorgeous animal and floral designs. Cup and saucer sets, tea pots, tea for one’s and mugs – so many to choose from. This range makes the perfect gift for someone special, or the perfect treat for yourself.

Our range of Quail Ceramics features everything from table ware to vases. British wildlife, world wildlife and farmyard animals as well as our favourite cats and dogs, are all to choose from to add a focal point to your living space.

And, of course, not forgetting our outdoor space. Gardens are the place to be at the moment with such hot and sunny weather. Make yours really special and personal with our stylish garden ware range of hanging basket brackets, wind chimes and post tops. A wide range of animal and bird designs will really brighten those gardens.

We have officially entered summer, and the soaring temperatures are becoming increasingly unbearable. During this heatwave, it’s essential to ensure the well-being of our pets—provide them with plenty of fresh water, shade, and avoid taking them for walks during the hottest parts of the day. Additionally, let’s be mindful of local wildlife by placing shallow dishes of water in our gardens to help them stay hydrated as they navigate the sweltering heat. Taking these simple steps can make a significant difference for both our furry friends and the creatures that share our environment.

We are ensuring our packaging is recyclable and safe for animals.

Prioritize your safety and well-being in this heat—embrace the joys of summer while staying sensible!

With Love,
Milly xo

Let’s make sure to honour and cherish those special men who play such an important role in our lives.

Dear Cherished Customers,

We hope this message finds you well.
We sincerely appreciate your continuous support and hope you had a delightful Mother’s Day filled with love and joy!

As the warmer weather graces us, we find ourselves enjoying the sunshine more than ever. However, I want to emphasize the importance of taking care of your skin during these sunny days. I highly recommend using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 50. This level of protection will not only help shield your skin from harmful UV rays but also prevent any painful burns or lasting damage.

We offer a delightful array of products that are truly swoon-worthy. When you place an order through our website, you can expect not only fast and complimentary shipping throughout the UK but also a stunning product that will exceed your expectations. Each item is crafted with care, ensuring a beautiful experience from the moment it arrives at your doorstep.

We truly cherish our customers—your support means the world to us! Without you, Animal Gifts wouldn’t exist, and we are grateful for each and every one of you.
We have received a lot more reviews on Trustpilot, so thank you to those who took the time to write them.
love always
Milly
