When it comes to shopping for a gardening friend or family member, the choices go way beyond a pair of gloves and set of hand tools. Now, you can get gifts that are useful, decorative, and as highly unique as the gardener themselves!

Do you know someone with a passion for matching sets of decorative items to brighten their outdoor décor? Take a look at some of the great ladybug themed items. Once you’ve chosen your own present, pass along tips to others saluting the birthday boy or girl. There’s lots more to choose from, including ladybug keyholders, ladybug garden stones, ladybug bird feeders, and even an engaging ladybug figure dressed as a gardener with a pair of shears. Her head will bobble in agreement with everything a gardener says as they work away at their flowerbeds and shrubs.

Other great items that can be mixed or matched, are house and garden flags, as well as mailbox covers. House flags come in a variety of sizes, and with a choice of brackets for mounting them at one angle, or with an adjustable feature. Garden flags come on simple but elegant metal T frames that are easily inserted in a garden, or along a walkway. The mailbox covers fit small, medium, or large boxes, simply by folding over the box, and anchoring to the metal sides with magnetic strips. They’re a great way to decorate the yard year-round, with seasonal themes, floral patterns, nature scenes and more.

Of course, a little help in the garden from our Nature friends, doesn’t hurt, either. Alabastrite figures make great gift ideas for gardeners, and come in a wide variety of animals, as well as whimsical and charming characters. Select from a hilarious range of garden gnomes that are sleeping, bathing, or just sitting. Show that there’s no place like “gnome", with a set of four gardening gnomes, hard at work mowing the lawn, digging a hole, raking leaves, and the last one is pruning the hedges!

While they’re slaving away to help keep your gardener’s beds neat and trimmed, the gift of an exquisite mosaic tile bird bath will keep feathered friends coming back over and over. And when they do, they’ll be looking for a snack, so a frog bird feeder, hummingbird feeder, or delightful cherub bird feeder make a wonderful companion gift.

Everyone who works hard at making their lawns and garden a delight, deserves to enjoy the results in style and comfort. For relaxing under the trees, there’s nothing like an original style Adirondack chair, of slatted wood. Or if the gardener has a “helper" that can be paid off with a snuggle, there are beautiful natural wood swinging lounges that can be set up on the porch or by the garden.

Don’t forget there are also gifts for gardeners that will not only light up their faces, but the yard as well. Distinctive and decorative solar lights for lining the driveway, lighting a path, or placing around a flowerbed or pond to showcase it at night, are sure to please.

Cultivate your gardener’s good side with a creative gift, pop it in a recyclable bag, add a froth of tissue and a bow, and you’re ready for any occasion!
