Unique Butterfly Gifts for the Holidays

The holidays are here again! With shopping season in full swing, we here at MOSI Outside thought we'd share the unique butterfly gift ideas on our own wish lists this year to give you some ideas for the butterfly lovers in your life!

Anyone who sees a monarch chrysalis can't help thinking that it would make lovely jewelry. Jude Rose makes the most gorgeous and lifelike copies we've seen in her glass pendants - we've been lusting after these for years.


Fun, whether you use them as actual pushpins or just display them on your desk in their box!

These simple pieces capture the delicate nature of a butterfly's wing so well. Available in earrings and pendants, silver and gold.

When the lamp is off, this shade is subtle, but turn on the light and the butterflies appear!


The luminous wings of a luna moth seem to glow, as do the details of this cloisonne piece. Also available as earrings or a pin.
The "explorer scientist" vibe of this canvas wall hanging is beautiful and inspiring.

Not exactly the real butterfly nebula (but perhaps inspired by it?), this t-shirt is a twist on the usual butterfly apparel.
Inexpensive? No. Gorgeous? Yes! We love the detailed design of these moth bowls. Laura Zindel Design has a whole insect-inspired collection worth checking out.

These colorful butterfly plates are a little more budget-friendly, but just as beautiful.

We're always excited to find new books for children about butterflies and moths that are both engaging and scientifically accurate. This book includes gorgeous illustrations while providing details about a butterfly's life.

The images in this book are reprints of full-color plates from the 1882 book European Butterflies & Moths. The book is printed on glossy, heavyweight paper, and each image is suitable for framing.
Doug Walpus' handmade magnets are so beautiful, lifelike, and reasonably-priced, we had a tough time choosing just one set to feature here. Check out all of his offerings in his Etsy shop, including some gorgeous dragonflies.


Please note that all prices are approximate, availability may vary, and MOSI does not guarantee these products or benefit from their sale.
