Beatrix Potter Gift Ideas

Beatrix Potter was a great supporter of the National Trust.    When she died in 1943, she left 15 farms and over 4,000 acres of land to the National Trust.  And Hill Top Farm was kept exactly as it had been when she lived in it - as she wanted.  Thousands of people visit every year. 

There are some great gift ideas for fans of Beatrix Potter.   I remember reading the books as a small child with my mother and she still smiles as she recalls how I used to chuckle throughout each book.

How about a calender for 2024? 

The CalendarClub has one and it would make for a cheerful addition to any home!  Those pictures are just soooo adorable!  This calendar has a month to view, the week starts on a Sunday and the calendar starts in January.  For £10.99 from the Calendar Club (and they now have lots of special offers on calendars, as we are well into 2024).

The National Trust Shop has a book called The Story of Beatrix Potter for £14.99.  

Sarah Gristwood follows Beatrix Potter’s life and its key turning points – including her tragically brief first engagement and happy second marriage late in life.  She also traces the creation of the author's most famous characters - Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddleduck and Squirrel Nutkin, and how Beatrix Potter drew on her childhood pets and locations in the beautiful Lake District.   Find out more here.
