Any keen gardener will know that having the right equipment is essential for the job. If you know someone who loves to garden, consider buying them some gardening presents that they can make good use of while they work. We have plenty of gardening gift ideas listed on our site, but here are just a few suggestions to get you started. Many gardeners put on their oldest, scruffiest clothes while working in the garden because they know that they’ll get dirty. While obviously no one wants to wear their Sunday best to rummage around in the soil, there is no reason why a touch of style can’t be added to an outfit that is worn in the garden. One simple way to do this is through a pair of gardening gloves by ultra feminine range Girlie Gardening. All of their products make great gardening gift ideas, but in particular we love their gloves, which come in fabulous colours and designs. Choose from their best selling Pink Lady Gloves, which feature super soft goatskin palms and pink stretchy backs. Designed for women, these gloves are also a great fit, allowing for better grip and manoeuvrability. Other designs by Girlie Gardening include ...
... the cow print or snake print gloves.

Another item to glam up a gardening outfit is a pair of welly warmers, which are a fantastic gardening gift, particularly for Christmas to see the gardener through the cold winter months. These large, cosy socks made from microfleece line the inside of the wellington boots and keep the feet really warm and comfortable while working in the garden, while the wellies keep them dry. They have a faux fur topper to help keep them in place, which is then visible over the top of the wellington boot. We love the funky designs such as Chinchilla and Zebra which really jazz up boring green wellies! These are available in small and large, so make sure you check the size you need before ordering.

If you don’t fancy going down the clothes route, tools also make great gardening presents. Another wonderful gardening gift from the Girlie Gardening range is the Cool Tools set, which comprises a metal fork and trowel in a little hessian bag tied with a pink ribbon, which can be reused. Another of their gift sets, the Penelope Gift Set, contains the Pink Lady gloves mentioned earlier, plus a roll of pink twine, plant labels and packet of herbs, all presented in an attractive pink gift box.

Another practical gardening gift every gardener will love is a pair of Folding Pocket Secateurs. We have two different designs available, in pink or black, both of which fold up to neatly slide in a pocket when not in use. Because they fold up, there are no sharp edges exposed once folded. In the handles of each you will also find some extra mini tools, so she won’t have to go traipsing back off to the garage to get what she needs every time.
