Great Christmas Gifts Ideas for Gardeners

Do you have a special green fingered someone in your life? Then you’ll know gardening is not just a hobby; it is in fact an obsession! A new plant every other week – or at least the desire for them and the willpower not to buy – veg patches, fruit growing, new pots, knees in several pairs of once good trousers, not remembering planting flowers and then being surprised when they come up, excitement seeing the first butterflies of the year. We know the type all too well, and they are fantastic people!

Being gardeners ourselves, we’ve put together a great list of Christmas gifts for gardeners below that we’re sure will wow. From the newbie gardener to the seasoned veteran, there’s something here for everyone.

Review their Tools

How are their tools looking? Are some a bit worse for wear? Have the secateurs seen better days? Has the fork and shovel rusted to the point where they’re about ready to disintegrate? Are there any tools they never had but always wanted? Then why not pick them up some brand new – even premium – tools from their favourite brands? Gardeners always love new tools; without them we couldn’t do all the things we love in the garden.

Garden Tidy Bag

There’s always waste from something, whether leaves in winter, old wood, weeds or moss. A garden tidy bag is an eco-friendly tool that will last for years and make garden tidying and maintenance a bit of an easier job.

New Cool Gloves

Whether their gloves have holes in them or not, gardeners go through gloves fast. Why not opt for some robust pairs or even some with lovely patterns that best represent the gardener in your life?

Gardening Shoes or Funky Wellies

Do they just use old trainers or boots? Well, how about a nice pair of comfy cloggies instead? They slip on and off and are super comfortable for most light garden tasks. If they need something heavier duty, go for a good pair of wellies.

Fancy Watering Can

Do they only have one of those green or black plastic watering cans? How about a lovely zinc one with a delightful print design?

Seed Tin

Chances are they will be a veteran seed sale finder. As such they probably have more seed packs than they know what to do with. How about a stylish steel storage tin with separate storage areas to help them organise all their seeds? They might even need two!

New Mug

A good cuppa keeps gardeners going. Why not get them a nice new mug to enjoy their tea in. While you’re at it make sure to get them some nice teas to make and enjoy in it!

Poinsettia Houseplants

The Poinsettia flower is considered the iconic Christmas flower for its deep red leaves, and lush green foliage that evoke wonderful feelings that the festive season is here. It would look wonderful in pots around the home over Christmas alongside your decorations. Or, knowing a gardener’s busy mind, incorporated into the decorations themselves! Cuttings can be taken and used in wreaths and garlands, or even in your tree. They could take some cuttings and propagate for next year, so they have more of cuttings to use. A great option for any gardener looking for a little project over winter when they’re not able to do as much.

Get a Terrarium

Now this is a good one, get them a terrarium so they can create their own small ecosystem, a wonderful new project and a fun challenge! Plants can survive in a sealed bottle on recycled air, water and food due to an enclosed micro-ecosystem. The plants placed inside the terrarium can grow under these special circumstances and adjust over time. The only element you need to provide is sunlight.

Jigsaw Puzzles

Winter is a time when they’ll be doing less outdoors, so why not help them to pass the time to spring enjoy a jigsaw puzzle with them? There are so many with lovely illustrations and designs.
