The winter holidays are tough times for gardeners: With the ground frozen, there’s not always a lot to do except wait and wait and wait. (Gardeners learn patience, right?) Still, if you give the green thumb in your life any of these charming gifts—a chic tool bag, a moon gardening clock, a garden cart—you can rest assured that as soon as they’ve torn off (and recycled) the packaging, they’ll rush right out into the yard to put their new tools to the test. And if it’s too cold to do outside work, some of these gifts are perfect for inside activities.
Gifts for Gardeners
Bijou Build Mainstay
When it comes to playsets, it’s hard to find one that’s minimalist in design but still challenging and entertaining for kids. The Bijou Build is not only incredibly good looking, it’s also light enough to move around the yard, plus with so many accessories and add-ons it can grow along with your child’s needs.

Flying Colors Organic Squirrel-Proof Bird Seed
While native plants and their seed heads are the prime choice for feeding your local feathered friends, if you do choose to supplement with a feeder, make sure it’s filled with seeds that are healthy for the habitat. These mixes are 100% USDA organic, with no fillers or pesticides and with options like no-mess and squirrel-proof blends, you won’t be dealing with any additional hassles.

Mill Food Recycler
As a devout tumbler and vermicomposter, there are definitely times when I wish I could further reduce my food waste with items that I’m unable to toss into the bin or feed to the chickens. The mill not only breaks down dinner scraps, dairy, and small bones, but it also turns it into a nutrient rich “dust” that you can either use in your raised beds or feed as a supplement to your hens.

Sophie Conran Tool Bag & Essential Tools Set
If you’re one who tends to lose your tools in the garden, a tote is a great way to stay organized and ready for any task you come across. This ultra-stylish, yet practical tote is filled with high-quality gardening tools, making for a gorgeous garden upgrade and gift.

Niwaki Canvas Tool Pouch
This lightweight, no-fuss tool sling is perfect for those who like to walk the garden with a pair of shears on their hip, but don’t necessarily want the discomfort of clipping a tool belt on. The pouch holds all your grab-and-go essentials, whether it’s garden tools, gloves, or even a camera and notebook for garden visits.

Botanicum by Katie Scott and Kathy Willis
Take your love of gardening to the next level with this gorgeously illustrated deep dive into the world of botany. From perennials to bulbs to tropical exotica, Botanicum is a wonderful feast of botanical knowledge complete with superb cross sections of how plants work. For the smaller enthusiast, grab the companion activity book for younger kiddos.

Gardener’s Supply Company Garden Cart
Move over old wheelbarrow, we’ve got a new garden whip. This heavy-duty cart holds up to 400 pounds and has thick wood paneling with a rust-proof aluminum frame. It’s even got an easy-sliding end door for easy dumping, and it’s so pretty we wouldn’t want to hide it behind a shed.

Vego In-Ground Worm Composter
For those who like the idea of vermicomposting, but are looking for an entry-level way to compost vegetable scraps. This in-bed system allows worms to enter through vented openings, which break down food scraps and in turn leave you with a nutrient dense supply of castings, which improve soil and plant health.

Barebones Living Classic Work Glove
We’ve never met a gardener who didn’t need another pair of gloves. These buttery-soft work gloves get a revamp in a delicious naturally dyed olive-hued leather. The gloves provide maximum comfort, outdoor versatility, and quality protection with a keystone thumb stitch improves dexterity and a shirred elastic back keeps gloves in place.
