The gift of membership
Whether you're seeking a gift for a keen wildlife watcher, outdoor enthusiast, or armchair admirer of garden birds, our membership offers something for everyone. We even offer the option to post the pack directly to your recipient with a personalised greetings card.
Win for wildlife with a lottery ticket
Surprise someone in your life by gifting them a lottery ticket - a gift which gives back to nature and offers the chance to win £250! Since its formation in 1981, donations to the 250 Club have helped us to restore over 800 hectares of fen, grassland, heath, and woodland. And with tickets costing £12 a year, it's an easy way to make a big difference - as well as a great gift.
Adopt an animal this Christmas!
By adopting a hedgehog or an otter, you will be helping to fund our vital work creating a wilder Norfolk for all. Your lucky gift recipient will receive a welcome pack that includes a certificate, cuddly soft toy, guide to your adopted animal, and a few other goodies to enjoy. We will also send your loved one fun and fascinating email updates throughout the year.
Nature-themed Christmas cards and gifts
Choose from beautifully designed Christmas cards, our 2026 nature photography calendar, soaps, binoculars, books, and so much more! Our gifts are available to order, or can be browsed in-person at our Cley Marshes, Holme Dunes, or Hickling Broad visitor centres. While you're visiting, why not enjoy a winter wildlife walk and a treat in the cafe?

Help give wildlife a place to call home
As we retreat indoors to warmth and comfort this winter, nature is doing the same. Across Norfolk, wildlife is looking for places to sleep, hibernate, and rest - but with natural habitats disappearing, many are struggling to find shelter. Our Norfolk's Nature Needs a Home appeal supports vital work to protect and restore the wild spaces that local wildlife depends on. This Christmas, why not donate instead of sending Christmas cards - or even as well as?
