Fun, Unique Gift Ideas for Land & Sea Turtle Lovers

In celebration of World Turtle Day, here is a fun and helpful gift guide for turtle lovers.

Sea turtles are one of my favorite animals — and I think land turtles are pretty cool, too. So I had a great time putting this list together, and I hope it helps you find the perfect gift for the turtle lover in your life!

Turtle String Lights

[amalinkspro type=”image-link” asin=”B082GFKBFZ” new-window=”true” apilink=”https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082GFKBFZ?tag=ondainaci-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1″ addtocart=”false” nofollow=”true” alt=”Funpeny Turtle String Lights, 40 LED Waterproof Indoor Decorative String Lights with Remote and Timer for Bedroom, 10 Feet” alignment=”aligncenter”]https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51caShbu5sL._SL500_.jpg[/amalinkspro]

How fun are these turtle LED string lights? Perfect for the domain of a young adult or teenager who loves turtles. These lights even come with a remote control for easy on and off.

Turtle Word Art Decor

[amalinkspro type=”image-link” asin=”B07GQJ5Y53″ new-window=”true” apilink=”https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GQJ5Y53?tag=ondainaci-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1″ addtocart=”false” nofollow=”true” alt=”SANY DAYO HOME 6 x 6 inches Wooden Box Sign Funny Saying for Home Office Decor – Today I Will Be Happier Than A Turtle On an Escalator” alignment=”aligncenter”]https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/416C-iOHBpL._SL500_.jpg[/amalinkspro]

If they love turtles and fun word art decor, then this cute turtle sign with a funny saying is a great gift. At just 6 inches tall and 6 inches wide, it can be easily added to any decor surface, whether it’s an office cubicle, bedroom dresser, fireplace mantle, or bathroom counter.

Solar Powered Turtle Garden Stone

[amalinkspro type=”image-link” asin=”B07WVRSCVV” new-window=”true” apilink=”https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WVRSCVV?tag=ondainaci-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1″ addtocart=”false” nofollow=”true” alt=”Welcome Turtles on a Rock Solar Powered LED Outdoor Decor Garden Light” alignment=”aligncenter”]https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51NDlW3A+0L._SL500_.jpg[/amalinkspro]

For the gardener in your life, gift them this cutesy turtle garden stone that lights up at night after soaking up the sun all day.

Turtle Succulent Flowerpot

[amalinkspro type=”image-link” asin=”B07H31VX44″ new-window=”true” apilink=”https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H31VX44?tag=ondainaci-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1″ addtocart=”false” nofollow=”true” alt=”Youfui Home Decor Pot Turtle Shaped Succulent Flowerpot Decoration for Home Office,Set of 2″ alignment=”aligncenter”]https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41F+tpNpHZL._SL500_.jpg[/amalinkspro]

For an indoor garden, gift them this cute little succulent holder duo of smiling turtles. The plants aren’t included, but you can pop into your local nursery to pick out the ones perfect for the recipient of this gift — or leave them empty and give them a gift card to the nursery so they can pick out their favorites!

Sea Turtle Rattan Tray

[amalinkspro type=”image-link” asin=”B08LZPGBTG” new-window=”true” apilink=”https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LZPGBTG?tag=ondainaci-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1″ addtocart=”false” nofollow=”true” alt=”Round Woven Rattan Tray, Sea Turtle Decorative Basket Tray for Coffee Table, Ottoman, Kitchen and Bathroom Ocean Beach Decor” alignment=”aligncenter”]https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/415CNwl91QL._SL500_.jpg[/amalinkspro]

This sweet rattan tray shaped like a turtle is an ideal gift for home decor enthusiasts. It’s both unique and functional. They can use it to display candles, organize toiletries, hold produce in the kitchen, or whatever they imagine for it. It’s a thoughtful gift they’ll get lots of use out of.

Another excellent home decor gift idea for someone who loves turtles is a lovely piece of wall art.

This artistic one is gorgeous:

[amalinkspro type=”image-link” asin=”B07RDBG21C” new-window=”true” apilink=”https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RDBG21C?tag=ondainaci-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1″ addtocart=”false” nofollow=”true” alt=”Sea Turtle Bathroom Wall Decor Canvas Prints Life Teal Watercolor Painting Beach Theme Artwork 1 Panels Framed for Bedroom Living Room Bedroom Home Office Decorations 12x16x1 Turtle wall art Baby ro” alignment=”aligncenter”]https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51bakNyL4dL._SL500_.jpg[/amalinkspro]

I also love the saying accompanying the turtle image on this cool metal wall art:

Turtle Flip-Flop Slippers

[amalinkspro type=”image-link” asin=”B085ZNMBZC” new-window=”true” apilink=”https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085ZNMBZC?tag=ondainaci-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1″ addtocart=”false” nofollow=”true” alt=”Lazy One Spa Flip-Flop Slippers for Women, Girls’ Fuzzy House Slippers, Turtles, Animal, Ocean, Seaside (Small/Medium)” alignment=”aligncenter”]https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513pK7WusXL._SL500_.jpg[/amalinkspro]

Get the sea turtle lover in your life some perfect summer slippers that feature a sea turtle design and cozy straps. They’ll be the perfect footwear to lounge in after a day at the beach snorkeling with sea turtles.

—> These “Save the Turtles” slippers are also super cute.

Turtle Socks

[amalinkspro type=”image-link” asin=”B01N0AQVOK” new-window=”true” apilink=”https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N0AQVOK?tag=ondainaci-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1″ addtocart=”false” nofollow=”true” alt=”K.

Whether you need a stocking stuffer, a fun item to add to a gift theme box, or just know someone who loves socks (ahem, that would be me…) these artistic socks are the perfect addition to any turtle lover’s foot wardrobe. I have some K. Bell socks and the brand is comfortable, too!

Turtle Handbag

[amalinkspro type=”image-link” asin=”B07GL966BX” new-window=”true” apilink=”https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GL966BX?tag=ondainaci-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1″ addtocart=”false” nofollow=”true” alt=”Chala Dazzled Crossbody Cell Phone Purse – Women Faux Leather Multicolor Handbag with Adjustable Strap – Turtle Turquoise” alignment=”aligncenter”]https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51b57LgbGRL._SL500_.jpg[/amalinkspro]

If you know someone who always likes to be perfect accessorized — and they like turtles — get them this gorgeous crossbody bag that will fit a cell phone and credit cards. The embroidered bag will show off their love for turtles and complement their outfit. I love the color and think it would be especially great for a beach vacation, too!

Round Turtle Beach Towel

[amalinkspro type=”image-link” asin=”B07NHMS1B5″ new-window=”true” apilink=”https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NHMS1B5?tag=ondainaci-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1″ addtocart=”false” nofollow=”true” alt=”Microfiber Round Large Plush Beach Towel Blanket, 60" D with Fringe (Mandala Turtle)” alignment=”aligncenter”]https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61bWoQV4t6L._SL160_.jpg[/amalinkspro]

To really help them look fashionable for the beach, also gift them this beautiful, colorful beach towel that prominently features a sea turtle on it. Round beach towels are all the rage and make for a great Instagram photo while at the beach. If your gift recipient is a turtle fan, loves the beach, and like being trendy, they’re sure to enjoy this turtle towel present.

Turtle T-Shirt

It’s hard to go wrong with a t-shirt gift. For the turtle lover, one that prominently displays why turtles are great in a stylish way makes this a go-to gift.

I especially like the flower inspired design of this turtle t-shirt:

[amalinkspro type=”image-link” asin=”B08VD587VF” new-window=”true” apilink=”https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VD587VF?tag=ondainaci-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1″ addtocart=”false” nofollow=”true” alt=”Women Turtle Shirts Flower Tortoise Vintage Tee Funny Yoga Short Sleeve Casual Tops (Sky-Blue, M)” alignment=”aligncenter”]https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51BVWlNnOqL._SL500_.jpg[/amalinkspro]

And this one has an important message that any sea turtle lover is sure to be passionate about:

Turtle Jewelry

For one of your best gals or the lady in your life, it’s hard to go wrong with a piece of jewelry; combine that with their love of turtles and they’ll be absolutely loving this gift!

I love the understated simplicity of this turtle necklace along with the lovely saying that makes it even better for a special occasion gift:
