Garden ornaments

Can anyone share their favourite garden ornament? I often look at them in garden centres, I’m talking bird baths, orbs, rain catcher type things. Not sure what they’re called but also the cups on long stems for bees to have a drink?! My garden is still in its infancy so they’d all stand out too much, but I’d love to see examples in established gardens.

Pictures from Google because I'm too lazy to go outside but we have a few of these hanging decorations, some are just solar lights, others are wind chimes.

I have a Buddha sitting contemplating the pond. He reminds me to be calm, and to stand and stare. There are a couple of stone tortoises, but they are rather mossy now.

Not the greatest of photos but we have a variety of Tiki head statues (2 are water features, one of which has a bird bath in the top), with solar Tiki torches. I love them, especially on summer evenings.

Why doesn't one have a Stumpery instead?

One only needs a small area, say a quarter to half an acre, to create a reasonable effect and all sorts of insects will love it.

One can't recall all the names of those things but I do know they have lots of legs and some of can actually fly.
