‘Jingle Bell Rock’ is on repeat everywhere, even from your neighbour’s garden while they put up holiday decor. Suddenly, you realise Christmas is just around the corner!
Do you remember what you got your favourite gardener last year? This time, you can do even better with this guide of what to buy a gardener for Christmas.
Use this list of gardening Christmas gifts and start wrapping!
1. Portable BillyOh greenhouse
Did you know that greenhouses come in portable versions too? Take this Greenhouse with Easy-Fit Frame and Heavy Duty Cover, for instance. It features a metal frame covered with clear plastic and has a zippered door at the front. Inside, there are three metal shelves for potted plants and seedlings.
Portable greenhouses are easy to set up and use, making them a practical gift for a gardener who’s just starting out or needs extra growing space.
2. Gardening kneeling pads
Spending extended time tending plants often means kneeling, which can lead to knee pain. Kneeling pads can be a game changer, making any ground-level task more comfortable.
Are they worth it? Absolutely, so add this to your shopping list now! It’s never too late to help save your loved one’s knees from joint pain.
3. Outdoor clock
It’s easy to lose track of time when doing garden chores. But you can make this a thing of the past with a garden clock. Choose a weatherproof clock that’s medium to large in size. It must be reliable year-round, so the gardener in your life can manage their time more efficiently.
4. Handy wheelbarrow
Treat your favourite gardener to the gift of ‘less physical effort’ with a wheelbarrow. It makes moving mulch, compost, garden debris, and plants much easier.
If this gardening gift idea interests you, consider getting them this multi-function wheelbarrow. It’s more than just a wheelbarrow — it can also serve as a hand truck, rock lifter, plant transporter, and bag holder.
5. A brand new Leafblower
Give gardeners the gift of cordless freedom with this efficient leaf blower. It’s a rechargeable and powerful model that will revolutionise lawn care and cleaning.
No petrol, pollution, or cables are involved. This makes it simple to reach every part of the garden, too, from corners to large lawns. It’s an eco-friendly option perfect for gardeners who prefer a sustainable lifestyle.
6. Bistro set
Every gardener has a favourite spot in the yard where they can sit and admire their hard work. The BillyOh Windsor bistro set, for one, provides that comfort.
Its foldable and compact design allows for easy storage during the colder months. Made from dense acacia hardwood, the set is naturally water-resistant and can even be left outside in the rain.
7. Slate garden sign
Gardeners use these marks to label areas or plants in their vegetable gardens. They may not be as significant as the gift ideas above, but their versatility helps them organise and personalise their growing space. Ideal for use in pathways, flower beds, fish ponds, driveways, and as plant and herb markers.
Tip: Choose from classic slate or blackboard styles, or personalise them with a name! Or take inspiration from this mosaic slate garden sign.
8. Raised wooden planter
It’s surprising how much back and knee strain can occur just by weeding a garden. Thanks to raised beds, this can be resolved — and the recipient will surely appreciate it.
This wooden raised planter features a unique barrel-shaped design. It adds a touch of floral elegance to any garden and provides ample space for various flowers and plants. It will look great on your gardener friend or loved one’s patio, porch, or lawn.
9. Compost bin
If you know a gardener who wants to start composting but doesn’t know where to begin, a compost bin is a great way to get them started. Not only does it provide excellent fertiliser, but it also helps reduce waste.
A robust and durable plastic bin is an excellent choice because it’s likely lightweight but sturdy. Opt for one that can hold up to 300 litres of waste.
10. Insect-repellent spray
Does your gardener friend love working in their garden on warm summer days? Working in the garden often means dealing with mosquitoes and insects that can harm both the plants and the gardeners. Keep mosquitoes at bay by gifting them with insect-repellent sprays! Consider DEET or plant-based sprays.
11. Hanging bird bath and feeder
Help your gardener friend to attract more wildlife to their garden with an open feeder like this. The feeder can double as a bird bath, as long as the dish is shallow so these creatures can drink and bathe. It’s the perfect gift, especially if they enjoy birdwatching or feeding their feathered friends.
12. Expanding garden hose
A hose is one of the garden tools every gardener must own. While it can help save them the hassle of carrying heavy water cans, the hose can get tangled easily. So, instead of a standard model, go for an expanding hose model as a gift.
This expanding hose pipe is a great example. It’s designed with eight functions and pattern sprays, and is lightweight and easy to manoeuvre. This ease of handling allows your gardener to water their plants less cumbersome.
13. Flower and veggie trug
Harvesting is often the most anticipated season for gardeners as they collect and transport their homegrown fruits and vegetables. What better gift than a trug to accompany them during this time? A trug is essentially a basket that can also be used for indoor displays or decorative storage just in time for the holidays! It’s an indispensable tool for gardeners, indeed!
14. Soil moisture sensor
A soil moisture sensor is a handy tool that helps water plants just right. It measures the amount of moisture in the soil, helping gardeners decide when to water. This prevents overwatering or underwatering, saving money on water bills. You can choose from a stationary model or a portable handheld probe.
15. Galvanised steel pangs
Small but essential tools can make gardening much easier, and these pegs are perfect for a variety of tasks. They’re great for securing landscape membranes, netting, and ground sheets, keeping everything in place — something every gardener will find useful.
Durable steel pegs will last for years, making them a thoughtful and long-lasting Christmas gift!
16. Shed storage
Nobody wants to spend their time picking up leaves, but a leaf scoop makes it quick and easy! Collecting leaves will be simple with these handy tools. They turn hands into large leaf-collecting trays, making it easier to clear leaves efficiently. You might even want to get a pair for yourself!
17. Leaf scoop hand rake
Weeds are one of gardeners’ common enemies. Giving your friend a handy tool like this shows you’re on their side in the battle against pesky weeds. Talk about true friendship!
An electric weed burner can zap away weeds in yards, paving stones, and driveways. It gets the job done quickly and effectively without harming nearby plants. It’s especially useful in the cooler months after Christmas when gardeners are preparing their spaces for spring, making it a practical and timely gift.
18. Electric weed burner
Gardening work seats are an upgraded version of garden knee pads. They provide ample cushioning for both kneeling and sitting. Most come with handles designed to offer support when getting up, which is perfect for senior gardeners. Others feature built-in side pouches or trays for tool storage, so gardeners don’t have to bend down or walk back and forth to get something.
This gift idea is convenience in a nutshell.
19. BBQ grill
Half the fun of growing your own food is finding delicious ways to enjoy it. With their love for cultivating, it’s only natural that they’re also into cooking or grilling.
They might have all the essential veggies for the BBQ but are missing the grill. This kettle charcoal BBQ can solve that problem! It’s easy to BBQ or smoke with the included thermometer, wide-opening lid, and control vents.
You can also go for portable BBQ options like pizza ovens, which let them make fresh, homemade pizzas with their harvest.
20. Garden room
We’re not talking about full-sized garden buildings like summerhouses, but a more petite option that can be very useful for gardeners. Enter garden sheds, the perfect storage companion for keeping their growing space neat and organised.
This vertical shed is perfect for the job. It comes in easy-to-assemble panels, so you don’t have to worry about your recipient having trouble putting it together.
Also worth considering is a small corner wooden gazebo. It provides gardeners a perfect spot to unwind after working in the garden. They can relax, enjoy a cup of tea, and take in the beauty of their hard work and the garden they’ve tended.
While this might be an investment, it’s certainly a worthwhile gift for your loved one.
These garden Christmas gifts provide some great ideas — all sure to bring a smile to their face. There’s something for every skill level to enhance their plant-tending skills!
Don’t let your own garden miss out on the festivities! Decorate it with these Christmas garden ideas to spread cheer to your outdoor space.
