Personalized Illustrations – A Unique Gift to Treasure

A beautiful reminder of how magical nature is to your child.

Do you know a child who would like to be a nature loving Butterfly Girl or a Dragonfly Boy?

“My daughter was thrilled to be able to help “create” her own butterfly girl! She loved being able to pick out the colors and the hair style, it was neat to hear her own fantasy of what her butterfly girl would look like. When it arrived she was so excited it was just like she imagined. She was so proud of her creation and loved seeing her very own butterfly girl come to life. This is a wonderful present to give to your child, we both adore it!”  Cathy Piso-

Here’s a unique opportunity to have your child, grandchild, niece, nephew or friend illustrated as a B utterly Girl or a Dragonfly Boy  by children’s illustrator Marghanta Hughes.

The beautiful illustration incorporates the child’s date of birth on their very own chrysalis and special nature quotation chosen by yourself.

This special offer will only be available from now until late November. It takes 14days from ordering the illustration to be completed and ready for delivery. Please allow a further 4-7 working days for delivery.

The Little Humbug products were inspired by fun things I enjoy doing outdoors with my own children. Rock hunting, gardening, bird watching, arts & crafts, collecting fallen petals, to name but a few. My hope is that the children who receive these gifts are inspired to go outside and hunt for rocks or make petal potions in their own backyard. I wanted the Little Humbugs gift collections to be both meaningful and fun with a sprinkling of MAGIC! To be environmentally friendly and made sustainably wherever possible.

Inspired by Mother Nature…

The Butterfly Girls have been very busy making lots of wonderful natural gifts inspired by Mother Nature for their little HUMAN friends.

My company is a small family run business. Conservation is very important to my husband and I. We have just partnered with The Sierra Club donating 25% to the Sierra Club BC with every Little Humbug sale purchased by a BC Sierra Club member.

Here’s a link to The Little Humbugs Shop. Free delivery on purchases over $39.

We are delighted to announce our partnership with the Sierra Club BC.

One of our main goals as a company has always been to try and make an impact in what we do. To that end we are delighted to be partnering with Sierra Club BC where we will donate 25% of any purchase made by members of the club. We hope that in some small way we can make a difference in helping conserve some of the worlds most precious areas.

The Sierra Club is carrying out important conservation work in places such as the Great Bear Rainforest and the Flathead River Valley, one of the most diverse and ecologically intact natural ecosystems in the temperate zones of the world.

With your help we give the Sierra Club that extra bit of support they so rightly deserve.

It was our move from Scotland to BC almost 5 years ago that impacted on where we are today. It was  BC’s wilderness and beauty that inspired me to write about my Nature Warriors – “The Little Humbugs”.

ENGAGING CHILDREN

Engaging children with nature at an early age is crucial for their health and well being. Enormous benefits will come from creating a generation of children eager to help conserve our natural heritage.

In order for children to help look after our Natural World, they first need to experience it’s MAGIC………

THE LITTLE HUMBUGS – The Humbugs live their lives not dissimilar to how we all used to live, respecting and living in harmony with Mother Earth.

The Little Humbugs are based on an award winning book series that involves children on a quest to protect our Natural World.

Giving back for the future of our children and the planet.

As a mother of 3, I have always had two major concerns: children are spending far less time playing outdoors than ever before; the Natural Environment around us is constantly being plundered and despoiled. As a child, I reveled in the magic of Mother Nature. As a parent, I feel driven to protect it.

I want my children and the generations that follow to inherit the same privileges that I once enjoyed.

CONSERVATION

In order to preserve what is left of our Natural World, we need to conserve it.

25% of SALES GO BACK TO THE SIERRA CLUB

For every Little Humbugs purchase made by a BC Sierra Club member, we will donate 25% of the purchase to the Sierra Club BC.

The Little Humbug Products

The Little Humbugs were created to tell a compelling story on how we need to care for the environment and to live in harmony with the Natural World. Through engaging characters, the power of words and images and interactive play, our goal is to inspire and empower children to get outdoors, explore and create change.

The storybooks immerse the reader into the world of the Little Humbugs and reveals to the young child just how important it is to look after the natural world they inhabit and that they have an important role to play in caring for it too.

The storybook characters (dolls) encourage interactive play, helping to stimulate a child’s curiosity of the natural world around them, creating a bond and lasting affinity with their surrounding environment and natural world through the Little Humbugs.
