Best gifts for gardeners 2009

December 6, 2009 by Andrea Bellamy 4 Comments

Wait—how did it get to be December already? We just finished the Halloween candy.

Since there are obviously fewer minutes in an hour these days, I give thanks every time I click “add to cart” and check another name off my shopping list without setting foot in a mall. So here’s a little treat for you: a round-up of gifts any gardener would love. And they’re all available online.

book-vase

The book vase by theshophouse has ferns and foliage tucked into its leaves ($44.00 on Etsy.com).

napkins

These lovely botanical screenprinted napkins by Bloomsong add a touch of rustic luxury to your table ($17.00 for two, on Etsy.com).

acorn necklace

This sweet sterling silver acorn necklace by GurKimel uses real acorns ($60.00 on Etsy.com).

Cobrahead

The Cobrahead weeder and cultivator is a fantastic all-purpose hand tool that is great for small spaces (it also comes in a long-handled version). ($19.95 on Amazon.com.)

grobal

The Grobal self-watering container lets you go a week between watering. At this price, pick up a few to give as hostess, teacher, or babysitter gifts ($14.30 on Amazon.com).

houndstooth-plant

Jane Joss turns fabric into fantastic foliage. I like this houndstooth fabric potted plant ($28.00 on Etsy.com).

felco pruners

Felco classic pruners. There’s a reason these hand pruners have “classic” in their name. Felco is the name in secateurs, and you’ll never regret the investment in this quality product. This is another gift that will last a lifetime ($43.18 on Amazon.com).

birdhouse stamp

This custom address birdhouse stamp by modernartstamps is a practical gift—yet one that is sure elicit smiles ($10.00 on Etsy).

gloves

Atlas gloves. Lightweight, breathable, and durable. What more could you need in an all-purpose glove? Great stocking stuffer. ($5.95 on Amazon.com)

    Oooh Yes a pair of Atlas gloves would fit the bill nicely. To bad I already put in, and have received my Amazon order, of books.

    Cool stuff. I admit that I’m usually suspicious of any “great gifts for the gardener” list, but you really nailed it–for me, anyway. Now, to just figure out how to subtly direct my boyfriend over to Heavy Petal, hmm… :)

    Luvs them…They are great for transplanting seelinds, container planting and all around garden/ yard work.

    Can’t say enough about the Atlas gloves. Great for gardening, horse care and just about anything that involves your hands. Well, ok. That’s an overstatement. But they’re great. Comfy and very tactile-friendly. They better be in my stocking tomorrow.
