Stuck for Christmas ideas? Finding the shopping season a bit much and feel a need to get away from it all?
Why not support wildlife in the East through supporting RSPB Minsmere’s corporate members?
Tala is a long established kitchenware brand selling pretty vintage style equipment for all your baking, icing and preserving needs (and probably more besides!). Tala goods are stocked in loads of shops so should be easy to find if you are up for braving the crowds and shopping in person. If you have any problems finding stockists, you can contact them on twitter and facebook. I can personally confirm their biscuit cutters are well worth the price!
If the shopping is getting a bit much, and holiday season is leaving you in need of a break, how about booking a night or two at the Westleton Crown, just 2 miles from Minsmere, or the Ship at Dunwich, just 5 miles from Minsmere. Both have some special offers running throughout December so why not check them out. You could even get in a spot of winter wildlife watching at Minsmere!
Lastly, if you want to make your Christmas dinner really tasty, you could order some beef from Riverside Beef. Riverside Beef’s cattle graze in harmony with nature, on pastures and meadows in Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. See the website for their retail outlets and information about their beef boxes delivered fresh to your door. Find them on twitter at @jonriverside.
And don’t forget, the RSPB online shop has hundreds of gift ideas or you can buy gifts in person at some of our reserves across the East including Minsmere, The Lodge and Titchwell.
Happy holidays!
