Desperately Seeking Garden Gift Ideas
Got this from Xvmercy at our little round up,LOL!LOVE Him.
Hey, Root, no monkeying around now. lol
Gardeners always need skin care products, especially hand stuff. Soaps with pumice, special lotions, little cotton gloves to go on freshly lotioned hands. My sister got a nail brush in a trade box, and was thrilled! Look for things that you would like to have, but wouldn't buy for yourself.
I love the monkey!!!
I like using the light weight disposable rubber gloves for potting and working in the garden unless I need a leather pair for sticky plants. I sometimes put vaseline on my hands and then put on the gloves. With warmth and perspriation that accumulates in the gloves, it sure softens the rough hands or use any cream or lotion you like.
Plant markers the plastic ones you put in your seedlings would be a great gift those a marker and some gloves a little scoop and some fertilizer in a basket that would be nice you know how every one loves and needs to fertilize there brugs, oh there is a site that sells worm castings in a watering can tied with a straw bow just for gift giving that i thought was so cute, It would make a great gift for any gardener, check it out, google search under worm castings
Oh I just thought of the best thank you as It just happened to me I gave someone a plant and they posted a thread showing off there plant and said who it was from and that was the best thank you i could get just to know how well they appreciated it. That made my night, and was all the thanks I needed

Springsong, Please..... anything but worms!!!!
Gee, I might have to go to this RU if such great gifts will be given! LOL.
Frannie, what a great idea! I wear those disposable gloves also but no matter, I still get so much dirt under my nails that they dry out from cleaning them and then they break.
My favorite garden thingey is the garden velcro. It is so great to tie trees to stakes and you can loosen them as the trees grow. I use it all the time! It comes in little rolls. Great stocking stuffer also!
back2back not worms fertilizer LOL but you know gardeners some would be exstatic to get worms, they can get expensive to buy, if you are into composting
Some of the simple things that aren't easy to find are wonderful gifts. The crash scissors make great garden clippers and they're only a couple of bucks a pair. Long tweezers are good for hybridizing with and aren't easy to come by. Seed envelopes, rooting powder, rolls of twine, garden marking pens, velcro tape...
Go visit a couple of stores with seasonal gardening sections. Usually they mark stuff down to get rid of it. I bet you could find some real bargins out there you never even thought about...
Great Ideas Everyone! Thanks so much.
