Hummingbird Gifts for Every Hummingbird Lover
Quick answer: The hummingbird gifts people get the most use from are the ones that bring the birds closer: a swing to hang beside a feeder, a feeder that's easy to keep clean, or a complete first setup in one box. A swing is our most-given holiday gift and suits anyone who already has a feeder. The AspenPerch® feeder or the Haven Bundle suits someone ready for a feeder of their own, and the Sanctuary Bundle suits someone who has never fed hummingbirds. Every gift in this guide is a Pop's product, with this season's prices.
We're a family business, and every gift in this guide comes through our facilities in Idaho Falls, where we assemble, pack and ship it. We built this guide around three questions about the hummingbird lover or bird lover on your list: what do they already have, what will they use, and what happens if the hummingbirds are away for the winter? It covers gifts for the yard, plus our hummingbird charms. For more small gifts, like bag charms, keychains and ornaments, see our Gifts Under $25 collection.

Our Most-Given Gift: A Hummingbird Swing
Pops invented the Original Hummingbird Swing™, the first hummingbird swing ever brought to market, and a swing is still the gift we send out most at this time of year. It's an easy one to get right, because it hangs beside a feeder they already have. When a hummingbird stops on it to rest, they get to watch it sit still for a while.
Research shows hummingbirds rest near good food and guard it from nearby perches. Clemson Cooperative Extension describes hummingbirds perching in nearby trees to keep watch over their feeders. Giving them a comfortable perch beside the feeder is Pop's reasoning, built on that behavior. We haven't found research showing the swinging motion itself matters, and Do Hummingbird Swings Really Work? lays out what is and isn't known.
Pop's swings run $17.99 to $24.99. The Craft Series is $17.99. The Original Hummingbird Swing™ and the Charm Series are $22.99. The Copper Series has a real copper frame that slowly takes on its own patina, and it and the Liberty Bell swing are $24.99. Every one has our patented Polyperch®, comes with an 'S' hook and a hummingbird FAQ card, and is made in the USA with a Limited Lifetime Warranty. We like to hang the swing about 1 foot from the feeder, at the same height, and Where to Hang a Hummingbird Swing covers the rest.
Shop the swing
Charm Series Hummingbird Swing, Redwood Bird Charm
A swing with the charm already on it is a finished gift the moment it comes out of the box. The Redwood frame is an earthy red that looks at home among garden flowers, and the little bird charm turns and catches the light in the breeze. Our patented Polyperch® is textured and shaped like a real branch, so it's easy for tiny feet to hold. It comes with a stainless steel 'S' hook for hanging. $22.99.
Shop the Charm Series Swing →A Hummingbird Charm for Anyone Who Loves Them
A hummingbird charm is the one gift on this page that doesn't need a yard. Each one is a little coated-zinc hummingbird, made in the USA, and you choose how it attaches. On a stainless steel ring ($9.99), it slips onto any of Pop's standard swings, so it pairs nicely with a swing gift. On a gold or antique brass swivel clasp ($11.99), it clips onto a purse, backpack or set of keys, and they get to carry a little hummingbird with them all year. The Hummingbird Charm comes in brass, copper, pewter and red, and there are copper Heart, Home and Flag charms too. Our Gifts Under $25 collection has the full lineup, along with bag charms, keychains and ornaments.
A Hummingbird Feeder for Their Yard
For someone who doesn't have a feeder yet, or has one that's hard to clean, a feeder is a gift they'll use every day the hummingbirds are around. One thing gift-givers tend to overlook is cleaning. A feeder needs fresh nectar and regular cleaning, so one that comes apart quickly is one that stays in use.
We make one feeder, the AspenPerch® ($36.99). It holds 8 oz, it's leak-proof, and it has an ant moat built into the frame. It comes apart in two pieces plus a brass rod and goes on the top rack of the dishwasher. Its Grandview™ perch sits above an open bowl, so a hummingbird rests up high and leans forward to drink, and whoever's watching sees its face instead of its back. It comes with a threaded brass hanger and is made in the USA with a Limited Lifetime Warranty. The AspenPerch® Feeder Guide covers setup and cleaning.
Shop the feeder
AspenPerch® Hummingbird Feeder, 8 oz
An 8 oz feeder that doesn't drip, keeps ants out with a built-in moat, and comes apart in two pieces for the top rack of the dishwasher. The Grandview™ perch puts every visit face-on, so they can watch a hummingbird lean in and drink.
Shop AspenPerch® →A Feeder With a Swing Beside It
The Haven Bundle pairs the AspenPerch® with your choice of 12 swings, from $48.99 to $54.99 depending on the swing. It's the feeder and the perch beside it in one box, and it ships free in the US.
Shop the bundle
Haven Bundle: Feeder + Swing
The AspenPerch® feeder and your choice of swing, packed together so they can set up both at once. Hang the swing about 1 foot from the feeder, at the same height, and the setup is done. From $48.99. To round it out, add a packet of our Hummingbird & Butterfly Wildflower Seed Mix ($4.99), sold separately, so they have flowers to plant in spring too.
Shop the Haven Bundle →A Feeder That Keeps Bees Out
If they've had bees or wasps at a feeder, the Hummguard® Feeder Bundle ($45.98) pairs the AspenPerch® with a ring of 12 Hummguard® Nectar Tips. The tips slide onto the feeding ports on the underside of the cover. Each one opens when a hummingbird puts its bill in and closes tight when it pulls out, so bees and other flying insects can't get through. How to Keep Bees Away From a Hummingbird Feeder has more on the problem.
More Than One Feeder
The AspenPerch® also comes as a 2 Pack ($59.98) or 3 Pack ($82.99). That suits someone whose hummingbirds already chase each other off one feeder, or a family splitting feeders between two homes. We suggest hanging them apart rather than side by side, and Where to Hang a Hummingbird Feeder covers spacing.
A Gift for Someone Just Starting Out
The best first gift is a complete setup, so they can hang it and start right away. This section is for the person buying. If you're the one getting started, What Should a Beginner Buy to Start Feeding Hummingbirds? is written for you.
Three Questions to Answer First
- Where will they hang it? A tree branch, a porch beam and an apartment balcony each need something different. Pop's makes hooks, not poles or railing brackets. A Perfect Little 'S' Hook hangs from a branch or bracket arm, and Perfect Little Screw Hooks thread into a wooden beam ($9.99 for 10 of either). For a renter, What Hummingbird Products Work Best on a Small Patio or Balcony? covers no-drill options.
- Do they already own a feeder? A feeder can sit in a garage for years. If there's a chance they have one, give a swing to hang beside it instead.
- How much upkeep will they enjoy? Nectar needs changing every 2–3 days in normal weather, every 1–2 days when it's 90°F or hotter, and right away if it turns cloudy. Ready-to-use nectar skips the mixing, and powder concentrate is the better value for someone who likes a routine.
The First-Setup Checklist
| Piece | Pop's option | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Feeder | AspenPerch® Feeder, 8 oz | $36.99 |
| Nectar | Nectarade® Ready to Use or Nectarlyte® Powder | $8.99 / $9.99 |
| A way to hang it | The feeder's threaded brass hanger, plus an 'S' hook or screw hook if needed | $9.99 for 10 |
| A perch nearby (optional) | Original Hummingbird Swing™ | $22.99 |
Everything in One Box
The simplest way to give all of it is the Sanctuary Bundle: the AspenPerch® feeder, your choice of swing, and your choice of nectar, from $53.99 to $74.99. It ships free in the US.
Shop the bundle
Sanctuary Bundle: Feeder + Swing + Nectar
Everything a beginner needs to start, in one box. Pick the swing and the nectar, and the AspenPerch® feeder comes with them. When spring comes, they fill it, hang it with the swing about 1 foot away, and wait for the first visitor.
Shop the Sanctuary Bundle →Hummingbird Gifts for Her, Mom or Grandma
Shopping for your mom, your grandma or a friend? Start with what she does now. If she already watches hummingbirds at her feeder, a Charm Series swing arrives with a charm already on it, so it looks like a gift the minute it's unwrapped. If she's said she'd like to try feeding hummingbirds, the Sanctuary Bundle gives her everything she needs for spring. If she'd rather choose for herself, a gift card arrives by email right away. All of these work just as well for Mother's Day.
Looking for something she can carry? Our Gifts Under $25 collection has hummingbird charms, bag charms, leather keychains and ornaments.
Giving a Feeder in Winter
In much of the eastern US, the hummingbirds are away in December, so a feeder is often a gift for spring. That's worth saying when you hand it over, because the wait can be part of the fun. Our state guides show, month by month, when hummingbirds usually arrive in each state, and When to Put Up (and Take Down) Your Hummingbird Feeder covers when it should go out. Printing the guide for their state and tucking it in the box makes the gift ready for the day the first hummingbird shows up.
Want to include care instructions? How to Clean a Hummingbird Feeder covers the routine, and our Nectar Change Calculator works out how often to change nectar at their temperatures.
Gift Wrap, Gift Notes and Gift Cards
Gift wrapping is $2.99 and puts the gift in a 10" × 13" Pop's gift bag, sized for a feeder, a swing and a small nectar. To add a gift note, type it in the order notes at checkout and we'll print it on the packing slip. Our packing slips don't show prices, and they don't show your name either, so sign your note if you'd like them to know who it's from. To send it straight to them, enter their address as the shipping address.
If you're not sure what they have, a Pop's Birding Digital Gift Card starts at $15, arrives by email right away, and never expires or carries fees.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are good gifts for hummingbird lovers?
Match the gift to how involved they are. A hummingbird charm suits anyone. Someone who already has a feeder will use a swing to hang beside it. Someone ready for their own feeder will use the AspenPerch® or the Haven Bundle. Someone who has never fed hummingbirds will get the most out of a complete first setup like the Sanctuary Bundle.
Is a hummingbird swing a good gift?
Yes, and it's the gift we send out most at the holidays. It hangs beside any feeder. Hummingbirds rest near good food and guard it from nearby perches, so a comfortable perch beside the feeder is Pop's reasoning for the swing. Pop's swings run $17.99 to $24.99.
Is a hummingbird feeder a good gift?
Yes, especially for someone who doesn't have one yet. Choose one that's easy to take apart and clean, since a feeder needs fresh nectar and regular cleaning. In much of the eastern US, a feeder given in December waits for spring.
What should I give someone who has never fed hummingbirds?
A complete setup, so they can start right away: a feeder, nectar, a way to hang it, and a swing if you'd like. The Sanctuary Bundle puts the feeder, a swing and nectar in one box.
What can I give someone who already has a hummingbird feeder?
Something that goes with it. A swing to hang about 1 foot from the feeder suits almost anyone, and our Gifts Under $25 collection has nectar, wildflower seed and keepsakes.
When should I order for Christmas delivery?
For delivery in the US by Christmas, order by noon Mountain Time on Friday, December 18, 2026. If you miss it, a Pop's Birding Digital Gift Card is delivered by email right away.
Can I include a gift note?
Yes. Type your message in the order notes at checkout and we'll print it on the packing slip. Your name isn't printed on the slip, so sign your note if you'd like them to know who it's from.
Do your packing slips show prices?
No. Our packing slips don't show prices, so you can ship a gift straight to the person you're giving it to. Just enter their address as the shipping address.
Can I have my order gift wrapped?
Yes. For $2.99, we'll pack your gift in a 10" × 13" Pop's gift bag, sized for a feeder, a swing and a small nectar.
Are Pop's swings and feeders made in the USA?
Yes. Pop's hummingbird swings and the AspenPerch® feeder are made in the USA and backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Summary
The best hummingbird gift depends on what they already have. A swing suits anyone with a feeder and is our most-given holiday gift.

For small gifts, see our Gifts Under $25 collection. For US Christmas delivery, order by noon Mountain Time on Friday, December 18, 2026.
