Gardening Gifts

gardening gifts, tools and supplies

Many people around the world enjoy and love gardening as their hobby. In return, their relatives and loved ones have many cool gardening gifts they can give them.

In this article, I will be suggesting some great products that can serve as gardening gifts. Most of these gifts are useful and thoughtful, making sure they will bring a smile to anyone’s face.

When I first started gardening a few years ago, I immediately realised that gardening is not an expensive hobby, and you can use everyday items such as plastic bottles, seeds from food and plant cuttings to grow your garden.

However, certain, more specialised or dedicated tools, such as fancy pots or planters can be quite expensive.

At the beginning of my gardening journey, I was a little shocked to see how much these can cost. For this reason, I always keep a lookout for potential bargains or products that give a good return on investment.

Of course, it is also true that if you have loved ones or friends who enjoy gardening, they will be very excited to receive gardening related gifts which they can add to their collection.

Especially around special occasions, such as birthdays, Christmas, father’s Day, mother’s Day, valentine’s day, international gardening day and many more, you might want to surprise others with special items (or maybe buy something for yourself), and that is where the below listing comes in handy.

There’s no shortage of options either, which is why I created a list with some of the top gardening items that you can share as a gift.

Whether you decide to opt for cool gardening gifts or more practical ones, there are all kinds of gifts for gardeners. All you must do is to make the right pick, and the results will be amazing.

All the options available might make you wonder which gifts should you focus on. For this reason, check out the best gifts for gardeners below that you can start learning about or buy today.

Vertical Garden Planter

This is a garden gift idea that can be efficient and dependable. The great thing about vertical garden systems is that you can place them anywhere, and it has space for dozens of small plants.

The fact that it’s also portable and easy to move around makes a huge difference in homes where space might be an issue. That alone makes it well worth the purchase.

Sure, certain vertical garden systems can be a little expensive, but as a gardening enthusiast myself, I can guarantee that they are always a welcome gift.

Fabric-based Dirt Pot with Handles

You may want to share it as a gift because it helps gardeners move dirt or soil around for their flowers and plants. It makes a lot of sense to use such a product, and the return on investment can be an extremely good one.

Gardeners will know that in many instances, especially when transferring soil from one place to another, we are always looking at the best way of doing this. Soil can become very heavy quickly, especially if wet, and these fabric-based dirt pots with handles make the process more efficient.

Keeping that in mind, you will be very happy with the results. Plus, the gift recipient will be just as happy.

Leaf Blower

Leaves can be rather cumbersome especially during fall. That’s why it makes a lot of sense to buy a leaf blower, be it a corded or wireless one. Most of these are lightweight, easy to operate, and can be suitable for every garden.

Therefore, it can be a good purchase for any gardening enthusiast or expert. On a plus side, it also makes the chore easier and quicker to finish. In this case, I would say this also counts as practical, not only nice to have.

Garden Toolset

This type of garden toolset is maybe the only item I always recommend to my fellow gardeners and readers. You don’t need to spend too much money on it, but a good gardening toolset is very important, even for someone who treats gardening as a basic hobby.

You can find specialized garden toolsets that are a pleasure to use and easy to adapt to your requirements.

Sharing these as a gift is a very good option since every gardener needs a shovel, trowel, or similar tools. Every garden set has its tools within, so you need to take your time as you find the right option. That’s what makes it well worth the effort, so use that to your advantage.

Plant Terrarium

A terrarium is another gardening gift that everyone enjoys. A terrarium is great for decorating your garden or even the interior of your home, which makes it a whole lot of fun.

I also find that plant terrariums often become a point of discussion (and usually admiration) when inviting guests at home. They can become a nice talking point.

Take your time, browse the options and you will have no problem picking a terrarium that suits your needs.

This type of gift can be used to decorate one’s house and can also serve as a great photo opportunity. Ideal for the person who loves gardening but also enjoys decorating the house with gardening-related items.

Ladybug Planter

The ladybug planter is one of those items that can add style to your garden. It’s all about having fun and bringing in something distinctive and engaging.

You do want to check it out for yourself and then share it with the gardeners in your life. They will appreciate it more than you might imagine.

Furthermore, sometimes, similar products to this can help add some gardening excitement for young children who have only just started exploring the world of gardens and gardening.

Used indoor or outside, this cute planter is great for small plants and can make the desired area stand out. Its size also makes it ideal for shelves or a windowsill.

Weed Pulling Tool

Weeds are every gardener’s enemy. So, it makes a lot of sense when it comes to ideas for gardeners to buy a weed pulling tool. It makes it a whole lot easier to remove weeds properly, and results can be very good.

It does take a bit of time to figure out which one of these tools is a good pick, but results can be impressive and very efficient, which is what matters the most. I also consider this one of those gifts that are also practical.

Waterproof Seedling Heat Mat

This is a great heat pad that you can use during the germination process. Many seeds require a specific temperature to germinate, and such heating mats help keep the temperature at the right level.

As a result, you boost the chances of success for your seedlings, which can be incredibly helpful. If you want to share useful, creative gardening gifts, this is by far one of the best options to consider.

This type of heat pad is normally used for seed starting, germination and cutting propagation, as it enables you to control the temperature.

Spray Bottle Watering Can

All plants need to be watered properly, so one of the best gardening gift ideas is a watering can. If you can find one that comes in the form of a spray bottle, you should consider giving it a try if possible. That’s what makes it a stellar option all the time.

Some spray water bottles are fancier and more elaborate than others. If you are looking for a gift, you might wish to opt for a slightly more expensive one, which is for example made of glass instead of plastic.

Wooden baskets add a bit of style and visual appeal to any garden. Plus, you will be impressed with the efficiency and results that this brings to the garden. It’s a very good idea to buy these as garden decorations or share them as a gift.

Everyone loves them, they are very creative and innovative, not to mention your recipient can use them for their storage needs.

Succulent Box

One of my favourite gift options, enjoyed by many gardeners, is a box of succulents.

At the beginning of my gardening journey, succulents were not my favourite, but I have slowly grown to love them, and I truly believe that succulents can add style and even bring in a certain theme to your home or garden.

It all comes down to being creative and coming up with all kinds of unique ideas. It works great, it conveys a lot of value, and you are free to choose what succulents you share as a gift too.

Furthermore, the beautiful packaging makes this a more attractive option when gift shopping, and sometimes is used by people purchasing souvenirs for weddings or special occasions.

Businesses and corporate companies also purchase these as smart and attractive gifts for their clients or employees.

Garden Apron

A garden apron is always useful when it comes to gardening. You can use it to carry your garden tools and maybe even some of the veggies and fruit you harvested.

It all comes down to finding one that fits your friend’s (or your) style, and it will be well worth it. It is also useful to avoid stains on your clothes after working in your garden, which can be very difficult to wash out.

Mini Greenhouse

A mini greenhouse is great because it helps extend the planting season. It can also be suitable for a jumpstart on the next season of plantings. That alone, combined with the fact that it looks amazing, and its versatility shows why this can be a good investment.

There are many different sizes and material options for mini-greenhouses. Some are small, made of plastic shelves and a plastic cover, which you can use in your roof garden for example. Others are more complex, larger, and made of metal and glass.

The latter is more useful if you have a larger garden available and you would like to grow fruit and vegetables, for example, tomatoes, all year round.

Light Garden Hose

A proper hose is something every gardener needs and wants. So, if you are looking for efficient, reliable gardening gifts, this is one of the best out there. Make sure that it offers the right amount of length, and that it’s a durable hose.

That alone can make it an amazing gift for any gardening lover.

In most instances, your gardening friend or loved one will also need a spray gun attached to the hose. This can then be used to water plants differently, for example, mist.

I personally also use the more powerful options on the water spray gun to wash my pots and keep my gardening area clean.

Micro Snips

Micro snips are always a good pick because they make deadheading (removal of flowers from plants when they are fading) and other similar chores a bit easier. They also provide a level of accuracy required in certain areas of gardening.
