Today, I’m sharing holiday gift ideas for gardeners. Any gift that I can use in my backyard vegetable garden is a great gift to me. They will help you select the perfect gifts for your gardening friends. I’ve found that my most memorable gifts have been homemade items and gift baskets that I’ve put together for my family and friends. Furthermore, I’m a huge garden and birding lover. I assure you, if your family and/or friends are garden and bird lovers, they will love these gifts too.
We have put together a list of holiday gift ideas for gardeners:
- Packets of seeds – You can’t go wrong here. Sunflowers, flowers for borders, and vegetable seeds are great gift ideas.
- Garden Tools – Every gardener needs tools. Pruners, hand trowel, hand rake, hand shovel, and a bulb planter are ideal.
- Kneeling Pad – I use mine regularly. Helps protect the knees when planting and pulling weeds.
- Gardening Gloves – I go through several pair each season.
- Gardening Hat and Sunblock – Protecting yourself from the sun is a most for the gardener.
- Gift Certificate to a Local Nursery – We love to browse any place that has vegetables and flowers for sell. I’ve found that nurseries have unique items that you can’t find at most garden centers such as Lowes, Wal-Mart and Home Depot.
- Tool Caddy – We love organization, a tool caddy keeps our gloves and tools in one place.
- Garden Cart – It’s easier on the back when you can sit and pull weeds. Check out the Garden Hopper at Amazon, I’m sure this item is on every gardener’s wish list.
- Flower pots – We love to place geraniums in clay or decorative pots. I also love large pots on my deck for petunias. They won’t fit into a gift basket, but they will look wonderful with a pretty bow. My favorite pots came from Big Lots and Dollar General.
- Indoor Heat Pad and Grow Lights – I sow my seeds indoors to get a jump on the growing season. For successful germination, heat is a most. Seed germination heats pads and indoor grow lights will make excellent gifts.
- Peat Pots or Seed Starting Kits – Gardeners love to germinate their seeds in peat pots.
Last, we hope that you find one or two selections from our holiday gift ideas for gardeners beneficial. Also, check out my ideas for a bird lovers gift basket.
