25 Best Gifts for Gardeners
1. Gardening Gloves
Hard work is easier with cute gloves! While there are a wide variety of gardening gloves out there, I love my DIGZ gloves – they’re cute, practical, and touchscreen compatible! For gardeners, new gloves are always in style.
2. Gathering Basket
Whether it’s time to harvest flowers, vegetables, or herbs, a gathering basket makes it so much easier to bring the harvest inside. I love classic designs like this wicker basket – perfect for carrying almost anything! You can also use it as a start to a gardening gift basket. Add packets of seeds, gloves, books, a hand trowel, or a t-shirt and wrap it all up!
3. Gardening Hand Tools
A complete set of gardening hand tools is one of the top garden gifts for anyone! Whether you’re shopping for a newer gardener or want to replace your loved one’s older tools with a new, matching set, this adorable organizer bag has plenty of pockets and comes complete with nearly every hand tool one could need.
4. Garden Knife
A good garden knife is an invaluable tool for digging, weeding, transplanting, and so much more. I recommend a Hori Hori knife – they’re precise and easy to use!
5. Flower Vases
Flower vases are another excellent choice for flower gardeners (or just flower lovers). These rectangular vases are my favorite lazy girl way to arrange flowers!
6. Zinnia Seeds
Zinnias are my favorite, go-to flower. Earth Science Zinnia Mix is what I grab year after year for planting these beautiful blooms!
7. Pots and Planters
You can never have too much gardening space! For those with decks, patios, or other yet-to-be-gardened outdoor space, pots and large and small planters are the type of gift that you can’t really go wrong with.
These tall black planters are perfect for houseplants, outdoor herbs, or other arrangements. For those with a little more space, consider an elevated raised garden bed for herbs and veggies. Elevated raised beds are perfect for decks and even apartment patios!
8. Hose Timer
A hose timer makes the job of watering effortless and is perfect for keeping plants watered while on vacation or just away for the day. I have this one and love it!
9. Drip Irrigation System
A good drip irrigation system is so handy for keeping pots and raised beds well watered. It’s one of my favorite garden tools for keeping plants happy and healthy!
10. Raised Bed Fencing
This expandable willow fencing is perfect for setting up around raised beds. It’s easy to install and versatile for fitting different sizes of gardens.
11. Neck Fan
As an avid gardener, I love my neck fan for staying cool on hot summer days in the dirt! Sometimes gardeners can get too focused – but a neck fan is the perfect way to help keep your loved one cool, even if you’re not there to remind them!
12. Gardening Hat
A gardening hat is another great way to keep your gardener cool and protected from the elements. This wide-brimmed hat is a good choice for your favorite Lazy Girl Gardener! I love that it’s foldable and travels well, too. Shown in the picture above with my neck fan!
13. Sunscreen
Here’s another way to make sure your favorite gardener stays safe on long, sunny days outside! Sunscreen is the perfect gift for showing the gardener in your life that you care! I love Supergoop sunscreen. It’s invisible, scentless, and oil free.
14. Kneeler Pad
Anyone with a green thumb understands the ache of kneeling or squatting over the garden for too long. I love this comfortable kneeling pad that also transforms into a padded gardening seat.
15. Solar Lanterns
Lantern lights are magical on summer nights. As a Lazy Girl gardener, I am all about these adorable solar lanterns that soak up the sun in the daytime and radiate shimmering petals of light in the evenings. (Check out my blog post to see how I used them in my garden!)
16. Plant Terrarium
A plant terrarium is a great gift for winter giving if you want to buy something that can be used right away! It’s also ideal for anyone who loves to bring greenery indoors. They’re perfect for offices, living rooms, apartments, or any other indoor space!
17. Gorilla Cart
For serious gardeners, a Gorilla cart is a must! Once you have one of these handy carts for toting around plants, dirt and garden tools, you’ll never go back. A steel cart with mesh sides is perfect for plants, potting soil, and so much more. Dump carts are also so handy for moving loads of soil, wood chips, or basically anything else around the yard.
18. Raised Bed Kit
There are so many benefits to raised beds – easier maintenance, better drainage, no weeds… the list could go on! Metal planter beds make it nearly effortless to add some extra gardening space . I love VEGO products like this raised bed.
19. Potting Bench
Outdoor potting is so much easier with the right tools. A good potting bench means your favorite gardener can get to work without having a sore back afterwards!
20. Bistro Set
How cute is this bistro set?! After spending hours in the garden, there’s nothing like sipping some fresh tea or lemonade and admiring the work that was accomplished. This rust-resistant, collapsible set makes the perfect spot for taking a break while enjoying the outdoors.
21. Wood Trellis
A trellis makes it easy to grow climbing plants like cucumbers, peas, beans, and vining flowers. Love the look of this one too!
22. Solar Fountain
A fountain makes the garden come alive with the soothing sound of water. Birds, butterflies, and other animals love it, too! I have loved using this inexpensive solar fountain in my garden. (See how I set it up on the blog!)
23. Lazy Girl’s Garden Club T-Shirt
Is your favorite gardener part of the Lazy’s Girl’s Garden Club? Whether she’s in the club or just a fellow Lazy Girl Gardener, our soft t-shirts are casual and cute.

24. The Lazy Girl’s Garden Guide to Zinnias
My e-book includes all of my secrets for growing bright and beautiful zinnias! For anyone looking to get into cut flowers, this guide includes all you need to know.
25. Gift Card
Running out of time? A gift card to a local nursery or online seed source makes a quick gift that anyone will love! I love Park Seed, Terrain and Vego!
