3. Bird Feeder and Birdseed: Help create an inviting space for different bird species to visit your mom's garden by gifting her a bird feeder. Additionally, include a variety of birdseed that attracts different types of birds, such as sunflower seeds, nyjer seeds, or safflower seeds.

4. Birdhouse: Invite feathered friends into your mom's garden with a charming birdhouse. Look for one that is built specifically for the types of birds found in your area. Consider finding a birdhouse that supports nesting of specific species that your mom loves to observe.
