Forget the bubble bath - get me binoculars
Sunderland Echo
|December 26, 2025
As Christmas shoppers start to run out of ideas - especially for those tricky-to-buy-for relatives like Aunty Joan, please not bubble bath again, or Uncle Fred, more socks - the RSPB has alternatives.
Binoculars make a great gift for those who enjoy the outdoors
It is calling on everyone to think about nature this festive season and choose gifts that help wildlife thrive and tread lightly on the planet.
Choosing a nature-friendly gift means giving twice: to your loved one and to the wildlife.
The RSPB has released its top 10 Christmas gifts - all designed to bring joy while supporting conservation across the UK.
House sparrows, blue hits swallows and swifts need safe nesting spaces. A nest box makes a thoughtful, practical gift that can support breeding birds in gardens, farms and urban greenspaces.
