Almost everyone has at least one friend who is a gardening enthusiast.
You know, that person who spends every waking moment perfecting their
garden. Well, when it comes time to giving that person a gift, it can
quite often be a challenge to think of exactly what they would like.
However, it’s always possible to come up with something that will suit
them well, so here are some ideas of things that you should consider.
The first type of gardening gift is something that will make their
gardening easier. Sometimes this could be a gardening tool. Lots of
gardeners spend lots of time doing repetitive actions, such as planting
bulbs or pruning their bushes. While you can get these jobs done with
basic tools, it’s possible to get them done easier and quicker with
specialty tools. You can get a bulb planter, a pruner, a lawn aerator,
or any number of other handy gardening tools. So if you hear your friend
complaining about how difficult a certain task is, you can make it
easier by getting the right gift.
The next type of gardening gift is to get them some sort of seeds, bulb,
or plants to add to their garden. This can be a tricky one, since there
are so many factors in play. You don’t want to get them something that
is easily found in your area. You also don’t want to cause them a burden
if your plant takes hours of work per day to maintain. Usually it is
best to do this only if you have explicitly heard them state their
desire for that plant. Also, if you go overseas, a plant from some
exotic corner of the world could make a good gift. If you aren’t sure,
it could be a good idea to ask them before you buy a plant. It may take
away the surprise factor, but at least you know your gift will be
appreciated.
If you haven’t had any chords of inspiration struck just yet, you can
consider some alternatives to what I have mentioned. A subscription to a
gardening magazine is always a safe gift. You can also buy a number of
gardening novelty items, such as bumper stickers, refrigerator magnets,
or artwork related to gardening. Just consider what your recipient is
missing, and what would make their life easier.
