Description
This squirrel watering can turns a daily chore into a small pleasure, shaped from head to tail as a sitting squirrel in a warm russet brown. Its bushy tail sweeps up and curls round to form the handle, with the filling hole tucked into the top of the tail, while the front paws hold a little textured cone close to its chest. Two dark eyes and pricked ears finish the friendly face, and a small opening at the tip of the nose is where the water pours out. It holds approximately 1.6 litres and stands 21.8cm tall, 22cm long and 12cm wide.
With room for about 1.6 litres, it carries enough for a row of houseplants, a tray of herbs or a few patio pots in a single trip. It sits happily on a kitchen windowsill, a conservatory shelf or beside the back door, and it is just as at home on a garden path or by a border as it is indoors between waterings. Because it is shaped as a squirrel rather than a plain can, it earns its place on show, so there is no need to hide it away in a cupboard when the plants are done.
The can is made from HDPE plastic and weighs just 0.19KG empty, so it is light and easy to carry from the tap to the plant. The curved tail makes a comfortable handle to hold, and the broad, flat base lets it stand steadily on a shelf, a step or the ground. To look after it, empty it after use, rinse it through with clean water and wipe the outside with a damp cloth to keep the brown finish looking fresh. We think it makes a cheerful present on its own, or pair it with a new houseplant or a packet of seeds for a ready-made gift.
