Gardening Gifts for All Occasions
There is nothing nicer than receiving a gift
relating to one's passion. If your loved one's passion is gardening,
then show your thoughtfulness by giving a gift that will be truly
appreciated. There are so many great gardening gifts that the only
constraint is your own budget.
If your budget is small, go for things like gloves, kneepads or even
a shady hat. A pretty pot (or a watering-can) filled with a small
bag of potting mix, a packet of bulbs, some gloves and a small
trowel or other tool will be received with delight by most
gardeners. There are many hand tools at hardware stores that are
reasonably priced.
If you feel that is too ordinary, how about a subscription to a
gardening magazine? A tiny bit more expensive perhaps, but it will
give twelve full months of delight. A book on gardening is another
idea, but make sure your recipient does not already have the one you
choose. Books are often heavily discounted at Christmas time, so you
may get a bargain.
On the other hand, a pot that contains a flowering plant is usually
a welcomed gift. Be sure to choose a plant that is suited to your
climate. Sometimes plants are sent from tropical to temperate zones
and kept in artificial conditions in the store. These plants will
not do well once taken from their environment. Shrub roses are hardy
and attractive and grow in many climates. Tulips do best in the
cooler climate.
If your budget is strong, a more expensive tool may be appropriate.
A pull-trolley is easier to use than a wheelbarrow and, like some
electric tools, is still not terribly expensive. Small electric
tools such as whipper-snippers can retail for as little as $20.00.
Or if your friend has a hose but not a hose reel, then that would be
a more useful gift that he would truly appreciate.
Automatic lawn mowers, electric cultivators, hedge trimmers and
brush cutters are in the more expensive price range and you are the
only one who can decide whether that is an appropriate gift.
However, when the recipient realizes you have given a gift that
complements his passion, expensive or not, it will certainly become
the best gift your friend has ever received.
