Description
This cheerful giraffe watering can brings a smile to the daily round of watering. It is moulded in bright yellow plastic in the shape of a giraffe standing on stocky legs, with brown patches scattered across its body and long neck, a brown mane running down the back of the neck, two little horns on its head and a round black and white eye on each side. A wide handle arches across its back, so it sits comfortably in the hand when full. It stands 31.3cm tall, 26cm long and 11cm wide, and holds about 1.5 litres of water.
That 1.5 litre capacity is a handy size for jobs where a full-size can would be heavy and clumsy: houseplants on a windowsill, a pot of herbs in the kitchen, tubs and planters on a patio or balcony, or pots on the greenhouse staging. Empty, it weighs just 171 grams, so it is light to lift and easy to fill at the tap, and even when full it stays manageable to carry from the sink to the shelf. It is a garden tool with a sense of humour, the sort of thing that makes watering the plants feel less like a chore and more like a small pleasure.
It is made from HDPE plastic, which keeps it light, and the smooth surface wipes clean. To care for it, we suggest emptying it after use, rinsing it with clean water and leaving it to drain and dry, then wiping the outside with a damp cloth. Between waterings there is no need to tuck it away in a cupboard: it stands happily on its own legs, so it can sit on a kitchen windowsill, on a bookshelf beside your houseplants or on a step by the back door, looking for all the world like a little garden ornament. It makes a cheerful present, too.
