Oprah Winfrey selects Burgon & Ball RHS gift range in 'Favourite Things' list

 

A Burgon & Ball ‘RHS Gifts for Gardeners’ gift set has been named as a top gift selection by top American media personality Oprah Winfrey, in her ‘Favourite Things 2018’ list.

 

Lifestyle guru Oprah has for some years been known for her discerning giftware selections; her annual ‘Favorite Things’ list has become an keenly-awaited annual benchmark, the ultimate guide to all that’s desirable and perfectly on-trend in gifting. And this year, the Burgon & Ball ‘Flora and Fauna’ RHS Gifts for Gardeners gift pack is one of just five items selected in the ‘Eco-Friendly Gifts’ section of Oprah’s list.

 

The list makes headlines worldwide when it’s released, and within 24 hours the story had already been featured in the UK in the Daily Mail and the Independent. The selections also receive huge coverage online, with countless blogs devoted to the gift choices, and Oprah’s guidance is eagerly seized upon by shoppers looking for inspiration as the festive season approaches.

 

The ‘Flora and Fauna’ range of gardening gifts features an elegant design of delicate foliage and dainty songbirds, beautiful illustrations taken from the RHS Lindley Library of historic botanic art. Items in the range include: a gift-boxed RHS-endorsed trowel and secateur; gardening gloves; twine in a tin; wooden labels; a mug; a drinks tray; an indoor watering can; and an umbrella. The variety of items makes this collection ideal not just for gardeners, but extends choices into homewares, too.

 

The Flora and Fauna collection of gorgeous gardening gifts will receive extensive publicity this Christmas to inspire shoppers, and with RRPs from £8.99 up to £24.99, there’s a pretty but practical gift in the range for everyone who loves their garden.
