Alternative Christmas gifts

The halls are decked, figgy puddings are prepared and chestnuts are roasting ready for the big day. Hopefully by now, your Christmas shopping is also well under way but if you’re lacking inspiration for those hard-to-buy-for relatives and friends, why not get them a water butt! It might not be the first thing to come to mind, but the humble water butt offers many long-term benefits. We offer a range of water butts to suit every style and budget. Here’s why a water butt could be the perfect Christmas gift, offering eco-friendly, practical, and cost-saving advantages all year round.

An Eco-Friendly Gift for a Greener Future

Give the gift of sustainability this Christmas with a water butt. Designed to collect and store rainwater, they are a simple yet effective way to reduce reliance on mains water. By collecting rainwater, the lucky recipient of your gift can use the water for a variety of tasks, such as watering gardens or cleaning cars, all while saving a precious natural resource. With climate change on the rise, and East Anglia being the driest region in the country, water scarcity is a growing concern for many people. A water butt is a gift that contributes to a greener, more sustainable future. Yule never run dry with a water butt!

Practical and Versatile

A water butt isn’t just eco-friendly, it is also practical and versatile. Whether the gift recipient has a sprawling garden, or just a small patch courtyard garden, a water butt serves a variety of purposes. It is perfect for water plants, indoors or outdoors, filling paddling pools in the summer, or even washing the windows. Our range of water butts come with a variety of features from integrated taps for easy water access, to built in planters to add a bit of green. No matter the size of the outdoor space, there’s a water butt for everyone.  

Saves money

With the ongoing concerns over the cost of living and rising bills, saving a few pennies is on everyone’s mind. Water bills can add up quickly, especially in the hotter months. A water butt can help reduce water consumption by making the most of a free natural alternative. It cuts down reliance on mains water and saves money on the water bills. It is a practical gift that helps the planet but also puts a little extra cash back in the recipient's pocket. Plus, by gifting a water butt now, the recipient can make the most of the winter rain and store it up for next summer.

A gift that keeps on giving

Used all the time, water butts are a long-term investment into a greener future and cheaper bills. Every time your recipient collects rainwater, they’ll be reminded of the thoughtful and sustainable gift you gave them. Over time, the money saved on water bills and the benefits to the environment will continue to add up, making it a gift that has lasting impact. Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow!
