Why not send an Ecard for your next important occasion.
By sending an Ecard from DontBuyMeACard.com you can personalise your card and save the environment at the same time.
Ecards save paper and save postage but importantly they can raise funds for your favourite seahorse charity.
Wildflower Favours supplies seed packets for any occasion – including weddings, parties, anniversaries, funerals etc. They also supply the corporate market with branded seed packets for events, promotions and so on. They have kindly nominated us as one of the charities they want to support.
Wildflower Favours are rather obsessed with bees and seahorses! Both species are endangered in their own ways and both need the help of us humans. The seed packets are recycled, plastic-free and contain British-grown wildflower species.
Every packet of Seahorse Trust seeds sold enables a 50p donation to the Trust. Not only are you helping seahorses but the bees too by encouraging them to visit the wildflowers you grow from these packets.
Buzz on over to Wildflower Favours’ website and start saving seahorses and bees!
“Aquamarine Jewellery is designed and made by scuba diver Rose Ledbury. Rose’s designs are inspired by the ocean, and all the wonderful creatures she meets whilst diving, including the occasional Seahorse, which is why she is proud to be partnered with the Seahorse Trust. Rose is donating 10% of the sale price of any piece of her Seahorse Collection to the trust. The collection comprises of hallmarked sterling silver pendants, earrings and rings, all hand crafted in the UK.
“I love to just drift and observe creatures in their natural environment. I am always impressed by the way creatures move in the water, they hold a natural energy and move gracefully in their element. The Seahorse Trust has helped to protect the Seahorses of the South Coast where I regularly dive and I am glad to have the opportunity to help out in any way I can”
Handcrafted beer from Devon. Created with hops, malt, yeast and their own Devon water and a splash of passion! A beer for every occasion with a bit of Salcombe in every drop!
The SEAHORSE Beer reflects that Salcombe Estuary is a breeding ground and safe haven for both British species of seahorse. It is an amber ale, sweet and smooth, with a gentle spicy hop character and hints of burnt toffee, caramel and a smoked malty finish. What’s not to like!
Salcombe Brewery and The Seahorse Trust have joined forces to help conserve these amazing animals for the future. By buying this hand crafted ale you are directly helping the Trust in its efforts to study seahorses in the wild and to launch conservation programmes to ensure we have seahorses in the wild forever.
Salcombe Brewery will donate 5p from every bottle bought by you to the work of the Trust and we would like to say a massive thank you to them for their generous support. Cheers!

Unique one off Seahorse art
Since taking early retirement Patti Boness has been able to indulge her love of art and crafts. I am still exploring many forms and media.
Her work is varied – from a simple style of Pointillism, developed preferring to use sepia and black pens, to Tuscany landscapes in acrylic and to her most recent work using slate, beach finds and metallic paints set in resin.
Her inspiration comes from a love of the countryside and many years of diving, with her first sighting of a Seahorse whilst diving off the south coast of England.
Following this passion for seahorses, Patti now donates 10% from any sales of her products featuring a seahorse to the Seahorse Trust.
Purchases can be made by contacting Patti at pattiboness1@gmail.com

Based on the South Devon coast near one of our study sites, Sea Arch produces an award-winning distilled non-alcoholic spirit. Bursting with coastal botanicals, Sea Arch is a deliciously refreshing alternative to alcohol.
Sea Arch Drinks co-founder Sarah Yates says, “We’re excited about the new partnership with The Seahorse Trust, supporting the important work they do to protect the marine environment, not only here in Devon, but across the UK and around the world. We are fortunate to have such a vast range of species living in and around our shores, and feel strongly that we have a responsibility to provide a safe and sustainable ecosystem for them. The marine conservation work that The Seahorse Trust does is vital in protecting seahorses and their natural habitats so that they – and we – can enjoy our coastlines for many years to come.”
We are really happy to be working with Sea Arch Drinks and look forward to a long partnership, helping to protect our seas together.

Are passionate about two things: protecting our oceans from plastic pollution and great tasting wine. Every bottle of Sea Change helps fund ocean conservation projects across the globe and our minimal packaging reduces waste and environmental impact.
We have just teamed up with Sea Change Wines for a special promotion, which is amazing news for seahorses and great news for wine lovers. Sea Change is a wine company with a difference, they are tackling the issue of plastic waste and helping conserve the natural world. Thank you to them for this amazing offer.
Lizzie from Sea Change Wine says,
‘At Sea Change wine, we are passionate about two things: protecting marine environments from plastic pollution and great tasting wine. We believe that everyone has a role to play in tackling the problem of plastics in our oceans. For every bottle sold, a donation is made to marine conservation charities who are actively fighting plastic pollution.
Packaging has been minimised on every bottle to reduce waste: natural corks made using renewable energy are used, and we’ve removed the unnecessary plastic wrap around the cork. The labels are made partially from grape waste and lovingly hand drawn by our designer Katie. Take a closer look and you’ll see the marine animals represent the problem: they’re filled with plastic.
Wildlife Artist and SCUBA diver, Nicolas Pain, has created two fabulous sculptures. Each depicts Spiny Seahorses. One features a single Seahorse holding on tightly to a strand of seagrass in a strong current, while the second shows two Seahorses floating gently in calmer waters. Both sculptures accurately portray exquisitely detailed seahorses in their natural habitat. Nicolas’ work is inspired by many years of diving mainly in the UK.
Each sculpture is a foundry-cast bronze in a strictly limited edition of 18 and each is signed by the artist. These are offered here in conjunction with The Seahorse Trust and the artist will donate 15% of the sale price to the Trust. T
The dimensions of the single Seahorse are D17cm X W30cm XH43cm and the two seahorses together are D25cm X W14cm X H62cm. Both are supplied in hand made wooden presentation boxes.
The single Seahorse is priced at £1850 and the double at £2400. This price includes shipping on the UK mainland.
To order your sculpture or for more details simply e-mail the artist, quoting The Seahorse Trust to nicolas.pain@cloud.com or visit nicolaspain.co.uk
“Suzi the Seahorse and Friends” is the story of Suzi the Seahorse searching for items in the ocean and learning the colours of the rainbow with her friends. This story touches on mental health and how it’s ok to feel sad sometimes. Featuring brightly coloured illustrations, Bumper and Friends stories are ideal for reading with children aged 0-5.
Bumper and Friends books by childrens author JT Scott feature the garden and seaside creatures we want to protect for future generations. The creatures are friends and help each other solving problems, sharing advice and have lots of exciting adventures.
Supporting The Seahorse Trust is a small way of “giving-back” and helping the beautiful sea creatures who need us most. Find out more at
“The Three Fish and Friends” talks gently about sources of ocean pollution. The fish are on a seaside holiday trying to find the solution for pollution, where it comes from and how we can help, even if it is just one piece of rubbish at a time.
