Learning about our natural world is the first step towards appreciating its gifts. With your help, we’re building a mindful community with empathy for all living things at the center of our actions.


Our Story

Having discovered a fondness for insects while pursuing her degree in Biology, Randi Jones was quite bugged to know that people usually dismissed these little creatures as “creepy-crawlies”. She reasoned that this indifference was due to lack of exposure and information. An artist at heart, Randi began creating butterfly display artwork in her studio to share her love for these wonderful creatures with everyone. In 2001, Nature Gift Store was born out of this love.

Nature Gift Store aspires to be the place where you can become curious about nature, ask questions and explore the answers. Our products are carefully crafted and curated to make active learning attainable, easy, and fun for the little ones.

If you happen to be in Washington, drop by at our Bug Museum to meet Eddie the Iguana along with several fascinating bugs and reptiles! For interesting information about the often ignored residents of our natural world, check out learnaboutnature.com.
