Christmas Gift Ideas

Holiday Gifts for Gardeners from the Practical to the Sublime

Dec 7, 2007

Multitude of garden gift ideas. Get inspired with suggestions from gardening tools to home made flower themed cards to potted poinsettia sand drunken paperwhites.

It's prime shopping season right NOW when it comes to holiday gifts for gardeners. Plants may be a bit problematic if it is freezing cold outside, but you can find all kinds of perfect gifts nonetheless.

I've listed a ton of gardening themed gifts to help inspire you.

Next, if you are thinking along the lines of gardening tools as gifts, keep in mind that some tools need to be tried out or the right size for best results.

If you are not sure where to shop locally, or can't find what you have in mind, you can always try mail order catalogs. Gardening is prime catalog shopping territory. Here are a few tips on how to shop the garden catalogs. If you need to locate the right catalog, try these references and resource listings.

You could always skip the shopping mall routine and do the gift certificate route or cash in an envelope deal. You could dress it up by making your own little flower pop up card and crafting your own cute little envelope.

If you are stuck on the idea of picking out that perfect poinsettia, take heart. Here are my tips on selecting a good poinsettia out of all the ones at the store.

Last but not least, you still have time to pot up some paperwhites to bloom around Christmas. (Well, starting now it might be closer to New Year's.) Remember to give them a little tipple to keep them from toppling over. Cheers!
