Ladybug & Bee Collectors

A ladybug landing on your sleeve is supposed to bring luck, and a busy bee is the poster child for hard work. Put them together and you have the perfect gift for a new job, a big exam, a fresh start or a gardener who refuses to use pesticides. A hand-painted Limoges box is hinged, painted by hand in France and arrives gift-boxed. It is also the only bee gift guaranteed not to sting.

Hiding in the Fruit Bowl

These little bugs turn up in the most delightful places. A ladybug crawls on a half lemon, a slice of lime or a ripe avocado, while others sit on a big white daisy or a sunflower. Beehives buzz with activity, some with a removable honeycomb, and a mini bee looks ready to pollinate the whole garden. Pansies, embossed flower eggs and a square box topped with a ladybug complete the patch. The reds are glossy, the spots are dotted by hand and every lid opens to reveal a sweet little hive for treasures.

Lucky Charms Worth Collecting

Ladybug and bee collectors love the cheerful color: lemon yellow, leaf green and that unmistakable red. Start with a single ladybug for luck and keep adding as the good fortune rolls in. Fruit-shaped boxes look fresh on a kitchen windowsill, beehives charm a breakfast nook and flower designs shine on a vanity. Group them in a shallow wooden bowl for a display that looks like a picnic in full bloom.
