Summer birthdays can be tricky for planning get togethers, but the long days and warm evenings are perfect for friend filled summer adventures and cheerful, brightly coloured gifts!
Gift ideas for the outdoor lover
Fun picnic gear and a good waterpoof blanket are great for friends who love the outdoors. Fill a basket with their favourite goodies or plan a walk to the top of a hill to share come cake.
A lightweight hammock is a lovely gift for the friend who likes to be outdoors and relax at the same time.
A drinks cooler is a fun gift idea. We love the range from Huski. The beer cooler made a fantastic Father’s Day gift earlier this year.
Gift ideas for the gardener
A herb growing kit is a lovely idea for friends who like to garden and cook.
A small tree is the gift that keeps on giving as it grows from tiny sapling to big tree! We have a Christmas tree and a hazlenut tree that we’ve grown from tiny twigs and they always make me smile.
Portable bluetooth speakers or headphones are great for listening to music or podcasts outdoors.

Summer Foodie Gifts
The ultimate summer foodie gift for this year has to be the Ninja SwirlTM. My kids have been sending me reels of recipes for weeks now.
A Sno Cone maker is another fun summer kitchen/party gift.
Keep the summer parties going with a pizza oven! BBC GoodFood has a great review of the best pizza ovens for every budget.
Summer gift ideas for kids
Warmies® Soft Toys
Warmies® have a huge range of products that make a fantastic gift for kids of all ages. They have just released four new super cute designs for summer. Warmies® are soft, calming and heatable soft toys gently scented with French lavender to bring a sense of calm and comfort at any time of year. We love the flower pots, and the bee is adorable too.
Funky water bottle
B.Box insulated water bottles are a useful gift for kids of all ages. Made from premium stainless steel and silicone, they are BPA-free, lightweight, easy to clean, and made to last. Ours still looks brand new after months of use. We’ll defintiely be buying more.
Garden Games
Garden games are always good for keeping kids entertained over summer. We love the giant tumble tower from Jaques London. It’s really well made and looks amazing.
A simple pack of chalk and some tennis balls is a fantastic creative gift, which will inspire lots of outdoor creative play.
A slip and slide is a fun alternative to a paddling pool, uses less water and is easier to set up and take down.
Eco friendly water balloons are great for an afternoon of wet fun or a fantastic pool toy.
Or, if you want more budget ideas try making your own DIY garden games.
