Gifts for gardeners who have everything
Gardeners buy their own trowels. The best gift for a gardener is something that belongs to the garden, not the shed. Here are ideas the person who has everything will still be pleased to open.
Something for the plot
- A good pair of secateurs. Gardeners are fussy about them, and they do wear out.
- Seed packets chosen with them in mind: unusual tomatoes, old-fashioned sweet peas.
- A hand cream that stands up to soil.
- A kneeler or a small outdoor cushion.
- A subscription to a seed catalogue.
Something for the wall
A print for the shed, the kitchen or the greenhouse wall is a present that is used every day. Our Allotment Plan print can be personalised with the gardener's name, plot number and allotment site, which makes it a one-off.
For the person who grows what they cook, Mrs Beeton's Kitchen has the lemons, mushrooms and herbs of a Victorian larder.
A personalised present
Add the details in the personalisation box on Etsy and they are set on the print. It is a gift that cannot be found anywhere else, and it is the one a gardener will mention to visitors.
What to skip
Skip anything with a slogan about gardening and wine. Skip plants unless you know what they have already and what their soil is like.
