Here are some fun options.

Red Pig Garden Tools

I had the fortune of living close to Bob and Rita Denman’s garden supply shop several years ago before they relocated to their location in Oregon. The Red Pig garden tools I got 14 years ago are still in excellent shape, because the workmanship is superior. Bob, who played a key role in developing Corona’s range of tools in the early 2000s, is likely the only blacksmith in the U.S., who specializes in hand-forged garden tools. They carry garden tools for just about any purpose—from trowels to bulb planters to weed yanks and root hooks. Many of their tool designs you won’t find anywhere else.

Native Cast

Chances are the gardener in your life is also at least a little bit on the crafty side, which makes this gift doubly perfect. These “Cast Your Own” DIY ecofriendly gardening kits allow you to quickly and easily make your own containers in a wide variety of designs, including cupcakes, circles, stars, squares, hearts, hexagons, ovals and rectangles. They also carry a wide variety signature planters, including ones made from logs and upcycled denim jean pocket planters.

Longfield Gardens Amaryllis and Paperwhites

Forcing bulbs indoors during the winter is a time-honored tradition, and Longfield Gardens makes the process so easy with their stunning amaryllis and paperwhites. You simply plant these beauties in soil, gravel or water and watch magnificence unfold. Paperwhites also perfume the house with their delightful fragrance.

Potrisers

You know those ugly stains that arise when you have pots or garden statuary sitting in the same spot for a while? Just put these handy invisible pot feet under your containers, and you’ll avoid those problems. Floating containers off the ground during freezing weather also prevents pot cracking. Potrisers come in several sizes and are perfect for indoor and outdoor use. They are made from 100 percent vulcanized rubber material that grips surfaces, while also providing cushioning.

Cate’s Garden Pruners

It’s not easy to find garden pruners that don’t hurt your hands and cut well. Cate’s Garden Premium Bypass Pruning Shears and Easy Action Ratchet Pruners have a lightweight aluminum frame that means less fatigue for your hands as you work. The ratchet pruners cut tree branches up to 7/8-inch and the bypass pruners allow you to make clean cuts, even in hard-to-reach locations.

Jeff Price Handblown Art Glass

There’s something magical about glass garden art. In addition to the brilliant colors found in glass, the light refractions and reflections you get when the sun hits can be spellbinding. And colorful glass art can light up the garden when blooms are scarce. I’ve had the privilege of watching Jeff Price blow glass in his studio. The pieces he creates for the garden include Solar-Powered Garden Lights and Levitating Marbles, which are hanging sculptures that give the illusion of the marbles rising and falling.
