If your loved one is a keen gardener, then there are so many gifts you can find for birthdays or Christmas (or a just-because present). We’ve cultivated some of our favourite gifts for gardeners, whether they have been green-fingered for decades or are new to the hobby and have only just acquired their first garden.

Whether you want to buy something super practical and will elevate their hobby to the next level, something ornamental for their garden, or a funny plant-related comedy gift, we've uncovered a range of presents that they're sure to love! Why not dig around in our selection?

Christmas Gifts For Gardeners

RHS Flora and Fauna Gardening Gloves

Every gardener needs a good pair of gloves, but there's nothing to say they have to look boring and brown? We love these colourful gloves from the Royal Horticultural Society. They're machine washable - super handy - however, they are "one size fits all" (which we know normally means the opposite) so do make note of this if your gardener friend has a slightly larger green thumb.

It's available in sizes A4 or A5, with black or white pages, and you can even add more pages if you wish. This gift is ideal if you want a personal touch to your gift-giving.

Bluebell Handmade Recycled Metal Garden Sculpture7 of 11

Bluebell Handmade Recycled Metal Garden Sculpture

This unique handmade bluebell sculpture will create interest in any garden, and who doesn't love a bluebell? Editor Sophie Knight says: "I bought this for my dad for his birthday and he loves it - and I covet it. One day I might steal it and hope he doesn't notice. It's charming and different - plus, it blooms all year unlike real flowers haha!"

Wirework Holder and String Dispenser

We love the simple design of this garden string holder (and no gardener worth their salt is ever far away from a ball of twine). The design allows the ball to sit centrally, feeding the end of the string through the hole in its base.

Snail Family Garden Sculpture Set11 of 11

Snail Family Garden Sculpture Set

We love this rustic (and rusty!) family of snails ornament collection. Their handmade designs will continue to weather while they're out in the garden - and the whole family is frost-proof, so can be left out all year round. Suitable for outdoors - or indoors!
