6 Unique Christmas Gift Ideas For Gardeners
#1 – Real Steel Garden Markers
This might just be our favorite gift idea on the list this year, and wow will these Real Steel plant and seed markers ever look great in the vegetable garden. Even better, because they are made from steel, they will last!
These garden markers are laser cut into steel and create an incredibly beautiful and elegant look for any garden setting. With 40 different vegetable and herb markers available, you can create a set to match any layout or garden method. In addition, at 11 inches tall and 6 inches wide at the marking point, they really stand out!
What we love most about these garden marker signs are their strength, durability and good looks. And talk about fun, they even have special marker signs for “Weeds”, “I Don’t Know” and “Oops”.
The “I Don’t Know” & “Oops” markers are perfect for all of those random seeds and plants that you have no idea where or when you planted. And let’s face it, we all end up with those plants somewhere in our garden every year!
The steel signs are powder coated for durability and can be purchased individually or in sets made to order. Product Link : RealSteel – Seed & Plant Marker Signs
#2 – The Everything For The Garden Puzzle – 6 Christmas Gift Ideas For Gardeners This Year!

Let’s face it, winter can be tough on those who love to garden and be outdoors. Gardeners live for spring and planting season. And as those long, dark winter days seem to just get darker, at least working a puzzle with all of your favorite vegetables can make you feel closer to the growing season ahead.
The “Everything for the Garden” puzzle features vintage catalog covers from 1893 to 1906. With old-time seed packets and classic vegetable photos, this 1000 piece colorful puzzle will brighten up those long winter days in style! Product Link: Everything for the Garden – 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

If you know of someone who might not have the hand strength they used to, or might suffer from arthritis or aching hands, the Meperez German pruners are an incredibly thoughtful gift of grip.
At just 8 ounces in total weight, the pruners are lightweight but still tremendously powerful. The ratchet mechanism saves on your hands, increasing the force of your power by 3 times. Thick branches can be easily cut without force. The pruners can do wonders for eliminating hand fatigue and soreness.
The super sharp and strong steel blades can last for up to ten years without ever needing to be replaced. And even better, they have a Teflon coating to keep them from rusting. A wonderful gift indeed for any gardener when working in their yard and garden. Product Link: MEPEREZ Garden German Clippers & Pruners.
#4 – Saker Mini Chain Saw – 6 Christmas Gift Ideas For Gardeners This Year
Speaking of cutting big limbs with ease, the Saker mini chain saw is definitely one of the favorite new tools on our farm! So much so, that we will actually be featuring this great little battery powered chainsaw in an upcoming article on best electric gardening tools to own.
The Saker mini chainsaw is easy to operate and control. In fact you only need to use one hand when cutting. Mary loves it for using all over the farm. She simply doesn’t want to handle a bulky, heavy chainsaw. But with the Saker, she can cut down even large limbs and small trees with little effort!
I love it because it eliminates me having to drag out and start the big gas chainsaw for small jobs. It has surprising cutting power for such a lightweight tool. Even better, the 20 Volt battery lasts more than long enough for small and big jobs alike.
Last but not least, it also happens to be great for getting into tight areas to make cuts without trying to use a heavy, gas powered chainsaw. Product Link : Saker Mini Electric Chain Saw

A must for every gardener, whether you grow flowers, a vegetable garden, houseplants – or all three! This instant read soil probe can tell you the moisture level of the soil, the PH of the soil, the temperature of the soil, and even the intensity of the sunlight!
It is so nice to have all of those features in just one tool. The moisture meter is probably our favorite tool of the four on the instrument – allowing us to check hanging baskets and pots in an instant. No more wondering if plants need to be watered or not.
The digital read out makes it easy to see results, and this little probe stores away easily. It is one tool that truly every gardener should have in their tool bag! Product Link – Instant Soil Tester 4 In 1 With LED Display
