For the gardener, a gardening-themed gift from a friend or loved one is a real treat. It shows they've taken notice, and appreciate you for who you are. As a gardener, it is also a pleasure to share some of your own gardening passion in gifts you give to others. Two years ago I shared some of the fun gardening-related gifts I've received and given (see
Christmas Gifts for Gardeners). Now I'm back with more (not a promotional piece, just real life)!
This planter by Peropon provides a taste of indoor gardening. The planter is self-watering, so could not be easier
– just plant and add water periodically. I received this stocking stuffer in December and grew the tiny crop of clover in February while waiting for the days to lengthen and warm. The clover continued to grow and thrive into summer.

This beautifully made cloisonne key chain is easy to find when searching through my purse. The leaf is tropical and exotic, which adds interest.

Books are always welcome. This one about German botanist, Alexander von Humboldt, and his associates is right up my alley
– history, exploration, the Americas, and beautiful plants. What more could a gardener want?

Vases of all sizes, shapes, and kinds are welcome. This glass vase in the form of a sea urchin is perfect for displaying tiny, delicate blossoms.

Almost anything floral is a great gift for gardeners. What gardener doesn't like beautiful flowers on almost anything!
