Holiday Gift Guide - For The Gardener
My friends keep asking me advice on what's a good gift to give for this Holiday Season, so I decided to make my own gift guide for the gardener in your life. Below you can find links to the products featured in my Holiday Gift Guide - For the Gardener. I use all these items myself so I can honestly say they are great useful things to have and would be a great gift to give.
Bee Happy Seed Collection - Botanical Interests
This box comes wrapped with a beautiful green bow already on it. The illustrations on the seed packets is a gift already in of itself. The Collection includes Bachelor Button Dwarf Blend Organic, Bee Balm, Borage Organic, Hyssop Lavender, Lavender Hidcote Dwarf and Sunflower Lemon Queen Organic. All are a great addition to any garden, and are great for bees too! Any gardener knows bees are essential in a garden.
Pocket Hose Ultra 5/8 in. Dia x 50 ft. Expanding Garden Hose - Home Depot
As Seen On Tv! I was skeptical about this hose at first, but I needed one that wasn't stiff when watering around in my garden. I needed it to go around my plants with out knocking them over, and this was the hose to do it. It says exactly what it does on the front, it gets 3X stronger with water and shrinks when the water is turned off, and it lasts! It doesnt kink up when walking around and has great pressure too.
Gardener's Blue Ribbon T029B Natural Jute Twine, 200'- Amazon
Every Gardener needs a good roll of twine to keep with them just in case. Whether its for measuring out lines for planting bulbs or for tying up tall plants to stakes, it sure does come in handy.
Fiskars Kneeling Cushion - Home Depot
It doesn't matter how old you are, a kneeling pad/cushion is the ultimate savior. Any kneeling pad will do, but the darker the color the better, it will get dirty and something with a hole to hang it up is also a plus.
DeWit 5-Tine Cultivator with Short Handle - Amazon
The tools of all tools. DeWit tools are by far the best tools I have ever come across. All their tools are handmade in Holland and have a lifetime guarantee. I got tired of buying the cheap tools that would easily break if I came across a rock when trying to plant something and it would just crumble in my hands. So I searched and then came across these tools and this was the first tool I ever bought from Dewit, but it sure wasn't the last. I honestly didn't even know if I needed a cultivator in my life, but I haven't gone into the garden without it since I bought it. I live and breath by these and you should too! They are great to hold in your hand and really get the job done.
If you know of someone with a real green thumb, they will most likely start their plants by seeds. This is a great tool to use when doing that. Its small but extremely helpful.
Women's Original Tall Rain Boots - Hunter Boots
Another product I can't live without. Hunter Boots. They come in all different styles and colors. My go to is Hunter Green in Tall. They do not carry half sizes, so I recommend going down if you are in between sizes. I also have a short pair in red when it gets very hot out, but any Hunter Boots would be perfect for gardening. They also are great rain boots, or even winter boots if you get their inner lining socks.
Kikkerland Copper Shovel Bottle Opener, Gold
A great stocking stuffer! This is a cute little addition for any home bar when its comes time to entertain. Comes in copper and other colors as well, and comes in handy after a hard long day of working in the garden.
Haws Solid Copper Watering Can - HAWS
Any gardener for sure has a plant or two inside, and this watering can is the ultimate watering can anyone could possibly gift. It's copper and it's the perfect size for going around and watering, easy to fill up and clean but also a nice shelf piece too.
DeWit Forged Hand Trowel - Amazon
Another tool from the brand that I love. Handmade from Holland with a lifetime guarantee, it fits perfectly in your hand and it gets the job done. After purchasing this I won't go back to any other brand. If you don't know what to get the gardener in your life, I would have to say you cannot go wrong with this gift.
Fiskars® Softouch® Micro-Tip® Pruning Snip - Target
Fiskars is another great company that makes awesome products, and not just for gardeners. Anyone who is a home owner would benefit from their line of tools. But for the gardener in your life, these are the perfect snips to have on hand when out in the garden. Small but mighty, I have many pairs of these lying around and they are my go to. Another great stocking suffer.
