Light up their life with a beautiful butterfly desk lamp by Jean-Luc Godard! Made by etching shapes onto acrylic sheets, then filling them in with high-contrast ink and mounting them in LED-lit black-stained pinewood bases, these stunning pieces pay tribute to the singular beauty of the monarch butterfly and are almost as pretty when unpowered.
Watching butterflies from a distance is one thing. Raising them all the way up from caterpillars is another! This everything-you-need gift box includes butterfly food, a butterfly feeder, a spray bottle, a dropper, a net cage, care instructions, and ten healthy live painted lady caterpillars that - with time and effort - will grow into gorgeous monarch-like butterflies, making it the perfect gift for hands-on butterfly lovers!
Butterflies like flowers. Everybody knows that! But which flowers do they like best? Purple coneflower, Mexican sunflower, rocket larkspur, and butterfly milkweed (that makes sense), apparently - as well as nine other varieties of wildflower. This wildflower seed mix includes all thirteen types of butterfly-favorite plants in one quarter-pound bag, making it easier than ever to plant a butterfly garden that will attract butterflies from miles around!
Spring is likely every butterfly lover’s favorite season. After all, it’s when the butterflies come back! When they do, they’ll be looking for a place to stay - make it your lepidopterist loved one’s backyard with a house made from sustainably-harvested timber that invites butterflies to safety with suitably-shaped shelter that’s just right for them, but unappealing to other bugs.
Set their local flutterers up with room service with this all-in-one Butterfly Biome! A fold-out feeding station holds removable cups for nectar and seed and flips up to protect internal roosting partitions that are perfect for non-migrating butterflies looking for a place to hibernate. Yep - some butterflies hibernate!
Some people like to express their personality through their drinks - whether they’re themed glasses, novelty mugs, or pattern-printed tumblers like this one, you know what we’re talking about. Help them show the world what they’re all about with a butterfly-themedtumbler! These 20-ounce vessels feature a standard double-wall vacuum-insulated design made from 18/8 stainless steel for storing hot or cold beverages at their intended temperature longer up to two times longer than traditional mugs!

Do they want an even closer look at their favorite fliers? These sustainably-sourced specimens of common tiger butterfly, common blue bottle butterfly, and Asian swallowtail butterfly are preserved in lucite resin, maximizing the clarity and visibility of the insects sealed within.
Nectar and seeds are nice, but sometimes a butterfly needs something special to supplement its ordinary diet: minerals! This beautiful stoneware puddler lets you serve up just that by adding sand or rock salt and a bit of water to its recycled glass well. As the water evaporates over the course of the day, it leaves behind valuable mineral nutrients that local butterflies will keep coming back for!
Butterfly lovers also love jewelry, which kind of makes sense. Both butterflies and jewelry are small, fragile, and beautiful, so why not give the butterfly enthusiast you know some butterfly-themed jewelry? This sterling silver pendant necklace features a gorgeous colorful butterfly charm said to bring tranquility to the wearer and comes in a variety of chain lengths from 16 to 30 inches. It also makes a great Mother’s Day gift!
