Eco-friendly bowl covers

Treat the environmentally-savvy on your holiday list with these washable covers, which feature hand-painted, folksy designs. Choose from a few different styles in the Chirp store.
Gifts for the Home Enthusiast
Throw blankets

Candles and holiday ornaments
Could be a gift for someone else…or for yourself. Who doesn’t love the warm ambiance that candles offer—especially at a time of year when the sun sets so early. We have soy candles with winter themes and scents, like our Woodland Snow Candle and Frozen Lake Candle. Check them out (and smell them) at the Chirp store!
Deck your halls—and tree—with sweet bird ornaments, like our Felt Bird Couple on Swing Ornament. Stop by Chirp and browse our selection of holiday ornaments today.
Gifts for the Coffee Connoisseur
Bird-friendly coffee
Chirp’s Bird-friendly Coffee is triple certified as Bird Friendly, USDA Organic, and Fair Trade. But it’s also delicious. Made with beans from exotic places like Peru, Nicaragua, and Guatemala, each of our four roasts have a unique flavor profile. Give it as a standalone gift, add it to a gift basket, or gift a monthly coffee subscription to your loved ones.
Teas too
Tea lovers (and their friends)—we haven’t forgotten about you! Shop the Chirp store for a selection of organic, loose-leaf herbal teas, like Bluebird Morning and Cedarwood Chai. Grab some tea tins for stocking stuffers today.

Eagle-inspired gifts
For our neighbors and nearby friends, why not gift them a piece of Big Bear Lake, with a special Jackie and Shadow-themed present. Choose from a 2025 Jackie and Shadow Calendar featuring gorgeous photos of our favorite eagle pair. You can also get a 500-piece picture puzzle of the two, and for our young ones, the “I Am Spirit” children’s book featuring the fledgling Spirit and her adventures!
Gifts for the Kids
Plushies
Give your child something soft to cuddle this cold season with a cute plushy. Made of mostly recycled and ethically sourced materials, the Living Nature Eagle Chick Plush and the Living Nature Barn Owl Large Plush are both adorable and realistic looking in detail.
Games and puzzles
We have children’s gifts for all ages at Chirp! One example is our Charley Harper’s Animals Memory Game is a bird- and wildlife-themed card game for all ages. You can also help your younger child or teenager learn to draw birds with the Charley Harper Sketchbook, which offers step-by-step, illustrated instructions. Or you can peruse our jigsaw puzzles, activity and coloring books, and more.
Clothes
Encourage a new generation of nature lovers and protectors with cool clothes and gear, like the Leave No Trace Camp Hat. Stylish and sustainable, the hat is made from 100% cotton, and a percentage of each purchase goes to the Leave No Trace organization, a nature conservation group.
