Insect Inspired Gifts for Entomology Lovers
Our pest control business gives the gift of a bug-free home or business, but sometimes it’s not so bad if insects stick around. Insects are the inspiration for all sorts of products that make really good gifts around the holidays. Here are our favorite gift ideas for bug lovers of all ages.
Insect Presents for Kids
Get the kids ready to bug out! Any of these gifts are a super fun way to get kids interested in the insect world that’s all around.
Insect Collecting Kits – Give your little adventurers the tools to go on an insect hunt. Insect collecting kits give kids a way to identify insects, catch them and display their finds.
The Insect Wonderland Book – The story of this story is almost as good as the book itself. The original manuscript was found under author Sybil Kane’s bed after she passed away. The Insect Wonderland was a long-term project that took Ms. Kane years of studying to create.
Insect Heritage Playing Cards – Heritage is the bees knees in playing cards. They have a variety of designs including an insect print and butterfly print.
Butterfly Garden – There’s so much kids can learn from a butterfly garden. Getting to see all the life stages up close is as educational as it is entertaining.
Insect Infused Lollipops – Give your kids a surprising stocking stuffer that will make them look twice before eating. Hotlix is one of the originators of putting all kinds of insects into lollipops.
Attire and Accessories
Getting covered in bugs isn’t something most people ask for – unless you’re giving away clothing and accessories that incorporate insects into the design.
Butterfly Wing Jewelry – Bug Under Glass is a one-man operation that makes an astounding number of beautiful objects using real insects. The real butterfly wing jewelry is particularly exceptional and creative.
Silver Mayfly Belt Buckle – If you are looking for a one-of-a-kind piece that was inspired by an insect then this solid sterling silver mayfly belt buckle is sure to impress.
Home Décor
Kids aren’t the only ones that love bugs. Plenty of adults enjoy adorning their home with less destructive insect replicas.
Insects in Display Cases – Many insects are outright beautiful when they aren’t creeping around your home. Admire them from under UV protected glass display cases that can be hung on the wall.
Antique Insect Prints – Etsy is a great source for finding one-of-a-kind antique prints that feature insects.
State Maps With Native Butterflies – This is another creative creation from Bug Under Glass. Artist Kevin Clark combines vintage state maps with native butterflies for a truly local present.
Metal Dragonfly Wall Art – Usually when insects land on a wall they get squished. But the beautiful metal dragonflies from Wallflutter make a unique piece of 3D wall art.
Smarty Pants Stuff
If you have a scientifically inclined friend or family member introduce them to the study of entomology with these gifts.
Magnifying Glasses – Sure you can use magnifying glasses for sparking a flame or working on the insides of a watch. Or you could take it outside to get a close up look at native bugs without getting too close for comfort.
Microscopes – Zoom in even further by examining insect samples under a microscope.
Fossilized Insects – Don’t worry, real world insect fossils won’t create a Jurassic Park situation. But they are beautiful pieces of science and history.
Entomology Kits – For people that seriously want to get into studying entomology there are high quality kits that can help you get up close and personal with insects.
