About Unusual For Garden Lovers Garden Ornaments & Statues
Unusual Garden Ornaments for Garden Lovers: Gift Pieces with Character
Frequently Asked Questions
How does delivery, returns and contact work?
UK delivery is free on orders over £50, with a flat rate below that. Orders ship within one working day from our Cotswolds workshop, packed in recyclable materials. Returns are accepted within 30 days for a full refund, with no restocking fees. If something arrived damaged or you need help choosing, email hello@backyardbliss.co.uk and we usually reply within a few hours.
How do I pick a piece for a recipient I do not know well?
Default to a Moon-Gazing Hares Set. It is the most-placed piece across all of our gift orders, the heads-up moonlit pose suits almost any planting, and the finishes (bronze, white, brown, graphite) cover most colour preferences. If you know the recipient prefers a specific animal, swap to the relevant range; if you do not, the Hares are the safe choice.
Are these pieces robust enough for a real gardener's use?
Yes, that is the brief. Cast-resin pieces are frost-proof and UV-stable, designed for outdoor life through a wet British winter and a hot July. The bronze-effect pieces hold their finish longest when lifted onto a flat tile through winter, but they do not need to come indoors. The Highland Cow Stone Statue is reconstituted cast stone, the heaviest piece in the gift range.
Which piece works as a sentimental gift?
The 'Grow Old With Me' Gnome Couple is the obvious choice: two figures on a bench, scaled for a windowsill or a potting-bench top, painted with a warmth most owners associate with a long partnership. For a less obvious option, the Two Preening Cats or the Westie pair sit well on a porch corner and feel like personal pieces rather than catalogue ornaments.
Can I send one directly to the recipient as a surprise?
Yes. We pack in recyclable materials and ship within one working day from the Cotswolds workshop. If you want a handwritten note included, drop us a line through the contact form within an hour of ordering and we will tuck it into the packing. For surprise gifts, the smaller-scale pieces (Westie, Mini Westies, Penguins, Gnome Couple) suit the brief better than anything over a foot tall.
Which finish suits darker green planting?
The bronze and graphite finishes on the Moon-Gazing Hares read warm against dark hedge planting; the Medium Bronze Moon-Gazing Hares and Large Moon-Gazing Graphite Hares both hold the bronze tone well in shaded corners. The mottled white sets and the painted brown sets read clearer against pale gravel or grasses. Match the finish to the planting that surrounds the spot.
How does this range compare with the women-leaning gift range?
The two pages share most of the same pieces, gathered differently for different gift contexts. The unusual for women garden ornaments range emphasises the softer character pieces (Fawn, Rabbit Family, Gnome Couple). This page emphasises the wider gardener-pleasing shapes including the bigger Moon-Gazing Hares and the Highland Cow. Most pieces appear on both.
