Let’s get started!

 Christmas related gardening gifts

Got an invitation to a Christmas celebration from a person that loves to garden?

Can’t go wrong with a Christmas related garden gift!

 1. Garden themed glass blown ornaments for Christmas tree 

Your can choose from Christmas tree ornaments shaped as garlic, lucky mushroom, watering can, trowel, and much more.

Tomato ornament is my favorite. What is yours?

 2. Angel of the Garden 

Packaged in fitted box and ready for gifting, this beautiful 5.5” hand-painted resin Angel of the Garden sculpture with wire wings will please your mother, sister or dear gardener friend.

The statue comes with writing on the enclosed card, ”Bringing forth a garden of love and beauty.”

It is intended for indoor use and can be proudly displayed on a shelf, table, or mantel.

Indoor Garden kits

There is something so satisfying in recieving a garden kit as a gift.

Maybe it’s because each kit is a separate project and keeps you on one task. All needed supplies are usually (but not always) included, and all that’s left – is to follow step-by step instructions.

Or maybe it’s because your kids or grand kids most likely will volunteer to help with your indoor garden growing project.🙂 You will watch together the progress of plants growing, share the excitement, and create happy memories.

Also, an indoor garden growing kit gives something to do for a hungry gardening soul in winter time before spring comes and it finally can play in the dirt outdoors 🙂.

3.  Indoor herb garden starter kit

Gardeners get used to having  fresh herbs on hand for all their cooking needs. But what do they do for fresh herbs in winter time?😧

And here you come to the rescue with this smartly designed organic indoor  herb growing kit. 😎 Your gardener friend will be in heaven!

4. Bonsai tree kit

Nature’s Blossom bonsai kit allows to grow four different kinds of bonsai trees from organic seeds.

The kit comes with organic soil, seeds, planting pots, plant labels, and an easy to follow  “how to grow” instructions.

Makes a perfect gift for father-in-law that loves to garden.🙂

5.  Pink oyster mushroom farm

This kit is made in the U.S.A., can be used by those of any age or gardening experience level and backed by a 100% guarantee. 

6.  Set of glazed Owl pots (perfect for succulents)

The pots are 2.25 inches tall and have a hole for draining. Plants are not included.

Garden decor gifts

Little finishing touches that garden decor items provide make the garden a complete and enjoyable space.

7.  Stepping stone

In many cultures the turtle is an auspicious symbol that brings good luck and longevity.

So why not get this beautiful cast iron turtle garden stepping stone as a luck wishing gift for your gardener friend or relative?

8.  Kinetic solar wind spinner

This solar powered wind spinner makes a perfect decoration for the garden or lawn.

 It has two tiers of blades spinning in opposite directions. A crackle glass ball sits between the blades and brightens up the night with mesmerizing light display.

Oh, did I mentioned that this spinner is backed by a lifetime guarantee?

9.  Wind chimes

 Gardening gifts with a special touch

These gifts are great for a gardener friend with whom you share a special bond. These presents are intended to be used frequently and remind your friend of a connection between you.

10. Gift boxed flower pot mug with saucer

Your friend can drink from this 14 oz. mug or grow a plant in it – whatever she prefers.

Mugs come in many colors with different uplifting messages written on them. The featured mug for a friend – is my favorite.

The mug is made from food safe material and is dishwasher and microwave safe. Coordinating saucer can be used as a lid to keep your herbal tea warm.

A stainless steel stirring spoon shaped as gardener spade is included . So clever, isn’t it?

11. Key chain with mini garden tool charms

This cute keychain with 3 garden tool charms will make your gardener friend smile each time she sees it.

Awesome meaningful gift for gardener!

Garden tools

Every gardener can attest that there are no such things as too many garden tools. 🙂

New tools are always welcomed!

12. Bulb planting tool set

Does a gardener in your life have a flower garden? 

Then he will appreciate this high quality Tabor bulb planting tool set. 

The set includes bulb planter with depth markers and automatic soil release, narrow hand trowel/transplanter, and a metal dibber tool which makes deep precise holes in the soil for easy planting.

Even if your gardener is not into planting flowers that grow from bulbs, the tools are still perfect for other gardening tasks.

13. Garden tool kit set

This set has everything necessary for gardening plus the case that protects the tools. The people receiving this present will be very happy to have it.

I like that the tools have bright orange handles, so you can spot them easily in the dirt (don’t ask how many trowels with dark green handles I throw out with the weeds.😄)
