How to pick a gift for a gardener

Gardeners do not need more decor. They need tools that cut cleanly, gloves that last and some relief for their knees and back. The best gifts are things a gardener uses every week, and replaces only when it breaks.

One thing a gardener will nod about: pruning shears dull and rust faster than people expect. A fresh pair of Stainless steel pruning shears, 2 pack or a Fiskars 5-inch herb scissors is a small upgrade they feel immediately.

Tools worth having

A hori hori knife is a favorite among serious gardeners. It digs, cuts roots, measures planting depth and slices open bags of soil. The WORKPRO hori hori garden knife or PERWIN hori hori garden knife is an easy gift that many gardeners do not yet own. A Gardening apron with 7 pockets keeps small tools close.

Comfort for the body

Kneeling on soil hurts after an hour. The Gorilla Grip foam gardening kneeling pad is a cheap fix, and a garden kneeler and seat like the Ohuhu garden kneeler and seat flips to help getting up. Leather garden gloves are better than cotton for thorns and last longer.

For the indoor or winter gardener

When the ground freezes, the Indoor hydroponic herb garden with LED lets a gardener grow basil and mint on the counter. A Plant soil moisture meter helps with houseplants that drown from kindness. The Steel tongue rain drum is a musical garden piece for those who already have the basics. Shopping for a mom or a grandma who gardens? Those lists have more ideas, and everything under $25 is in one place.
