We all have that friend or relative who spends their free time rooting around in the garden. So, when shopping for a holiday gift for the special gardener in your life, it makes perfect sense to lean into this hobby. Whether they grow flowers, produce, or prefer to garden indoors, we’ve got some thymeless gift options for them. Turnip the holiday spirit with these fun products with absolutely no thorns involved.
Punny Literary Plant Markers
Know someone who loves plants and books? These literary plant markers are so darn cute they’ll have the recipient wetting their plants. Each one features a punny book title, like “Rosemary and Juliet and “Of Mice and Mint.” They can use them to mark their outdoor garden or inside their potted plants.
Folding Seat With a Detachable Tool Bag
Tool belts are great, but what about a tool seat? This handy folding stool is a great place for your favorite gardener to sit while tending to their plants, but what makes it so special is the detachable tool bag. We love comfort and convenience, and this awesome gift checks both boxes!
Novelty “Gardener of the Year” Mug
I’m a firm believer that you can never have too many novelty mugs, and this one just about made me spit out my coffee when I first saw it. The mug looks just like a terra cotta clay pot and reads “GARDENER of the year” on it. Oh, and did I mention it comes with a spoon that’s shaped just like a shovel? You can’t get much cuter than that.
Gardeners Hands Therapy to Protect Dry Hands
Playing in the dirt all the time can lead to dry, cracked hands. Gardeners Hand Therapy is a thoughtful gift that’s designed to hydrate and protect those hardworking hands. And unlike other bath product gifts, this one is especially for gardeners (although it works for everyone and anyone, so don’t let that deter you from snagging a tube for yourself).
Cushioned Kneeling Pad for Outdoor Gardening
A cushioned kneeling pad is on every gardener gift guide for a good reason: they’re handy. Your loved one can use it to protect their knees while gardening. It can also double as a helpful tool during exercise, camping, and other everyday tasks. This one is amazing because it’s water-resistant and won’t compress over time. As a bonus, it comes in tons of cute colors to match the rest of the gardening supplies.
Gift a Year-Round Garden With an Indoor System
An indoor hydroponic herb garden can be a fun project for the gardener who gets antsy during the winter months when their plants are dormant. This contained system doesn’t require soil or sun and also doesn’t take up a lot of space indoors.
Solar Fairy Garden Lights as Seen on TikTok
These solar lights give any garden a sense of the mystical; best of all, they don't have to be plugged in. You'll want to get a few bunches of them for bigger impact, but even a small cluster can brighten an evening in the garden.
Vibrant Wind Chimes Fit for a Wildflower Garden
Garden baubles and décor is always a great choice when looking for gardening gifts, particularly if you don’t know what the person already has or doesn’t. These vibrant wind chimes are great for someone with a wildflower garden or anyone who loves a pop of color. But what’s even more beautiful than the outward appearance is their whimsical sound in the breeze.
Give the Gift of Magic With a Fairy Garden Kit
Fairy gardens aren’t just for kids. If your bestie is into fantastical creatures and has an enchanted garden vibe, little figurines and accessories can be great gifts. This kit includes a miniature fairy door, two windows, and a realistic and weatherproof little lamp post.
“Never Too Old to Play in the Dirt” Baseball Cap
Keep the sun out of your buddy’s eyes while allowing them to make a statement with this cute baseball cap. It reads “Never Too Old to Play in the Dirt,” which any gardener will agree is 100% true.
“A Beautiful Garden Is a Work of Heart” Stepping Stone
Stepping stones don’t just add a beautiful aesthetic to a garden, they’re also super functional. Your friend can place it in their garden so they know exactly where to step or kneel while tending to the plants, and every time they see it, they’ll be reminded of your friendship and love.
Thymeless Gifts for Gardeners
Whether or not you’re into gardening yourself, getting a plant-focused gift for your gardener friend is a great idea. The gesture will show them that you genuinely care about their interests, and the gift will be something that they’ll truly love and use. You can’t go wrong with any of these plantastic items!
