63 Gift Ideas for Gardeners

If your friends and family love getting their hands dirty in the garden or spending most of their time in the yard, give them a thoughtful gift to support their hobby. Whether they're a master gardener or a novice, make their day with one of these garden-ready gifts, from small budget-friendly ideas to splurge-worthy gifts for big celebrations or holidays.

Gifts for Gardeners Under $25

Any gardener knows good things come in small packages ... like seed packets! If you're looking for a small gift for someone on a tight budget or something you can pair with a larger gift, you can't go wrong with one of these under-$25 options, from a beautiful herb stripper for cooking prep that's available in multiple wood finishes to healing cream for the recipient's hardworking hands. Plus, you could even pair a few of these together and throw in a few seed packets to make a gardening gift basket if you can't pick just one.

We especially love the tote bag—HGTV's senior director of editorial and content strategy Kelly Smith Trimble doesn't leave the house without it. "I love anything heirloom garden-themed and anything that folds up into its own pouch, so this reusable tote bag has quickly become my favorite," she said. "Carrying this seed packet tote to the grocery reminds me to eat my veggies and buy myself flowers (even out of gardening and farmers market season), and because it folds up into a small package, I can keep it in my backpack or car so that reusable bags are always on hand – no excuses! The nylon material also makes this cute bag durable and easy to clean."

Tools and Supplies for Their Garden Shed

For someone who is building up their tools, this inexpensive pair of pruning shears will be a great addition to the set. This compact tool is precise and the safety hatch makes it ideal for beginner gardners. If you need something to hold all your new gadgets, a canvas tool bag would be a great way to store everything.

Garden-Inspired Decor and Home Accessories

Bring their favorite place — their garden— indoors with thoughtful home accessories. This Fresh Boquet scent from the popular candle brand Homesick is sure to leave the recipient dreaming of rose petals and freshly picked flowers, even if it's burning in the dead of winter. For a more traditional candle scent, this Crushed Mint candle is actually a two-for-one gift; the packaging contains plantable seed paper so they can grow the real-deal scent in their garden. (Pro tip: if the recipient is a beginner gardener, remind them to plant mint in containers, unless they're okay with it taking over their planting space.) Beyond garden-inspired scents, decor like tea towels, mason jars, wall posters, notecards and even a brass bee door knocker are all great gift options for gardeners.

Seeds and Seed Storage

An avid gardener can never have too many seeds, and if they've been at it for more than a year or so, they've probably already accumulated a collection that could benefit from some organization. This beautiful seedbox is something the gardener you're shopping for might not buy for themselves but would get a lot of use out of — the best kind of gift in our book. With two spacious interior compartments, your gardener will be able to keep their seeds organized all season.

Yard Accessories and Decor

For people who spend just as much time in their gardens as they do some rooms in their homes, consider presents that make it an even nicer place to be like bee hotels for their pollinator friends and birdhouses for their morning choir. If they appreciate practical gifts, functional products that happen to be more stylish versions of what they might otherwise buy themselves will ensure they'll love the gift and use it frequently, such as a beautiful copper bin for hose storage or a stylish tool bag and gardening seat combo.

Gardening Gear and Workwear

Make sure they're comfortable and protected to tackle any garden task with some outdoor attire, from waterproof boots and clogs to gloves and sun hats. Gloves always make a great gift, and even if they already have ones they like, most gardeners could use a spare pair if, like me, they're often misplacing them. Kelly Smith Trimble, master gardener and senior editorial director at HGTV, is a big fan of Dovetail Workwear's overalls that are made by and for women and come with ample pockets for carrying the essentials. Read more about why she recommends this brand in her review.

For the Herb Grower

Herbs are one of the easiest and mode rewarding things to grow. Help the gardener in your life get the most out of their herb harvest with practical items like a covertible tote, herb preserver or herb scissors. If they're using popsicle sticks or plastic markers that come from the plant nursery, upgrade their markers with these stylish copper garden markers for herbs.

For the Eco-Conscious Gardener

If the gardener in your life prioritizes sustainability, gift them something with Mother Nature in mind. Felicia Feaster, a contributing writer at HGTV, recommends the Lomi countertop composter in her recent review, and it'd make a great splurge-worthy gift, especially for a joint couple's gift. It turns your food waste into nutrients for your plants in a matter of hours! If you're not looking to spend quite that much, this worm farm composter is pretty cool, too, and more aesthetically pleasing than it sounds. If they're a vegetarian or just striving to eat plant-forward meals with in-season ingredients, cookbooks like Six Seasons: A New Way With Vegetables by Joshua MacFadden or The Weekday Vegetarians by Jenny Rosenstrach are excellent choices that will keep them excited about vegetables. Lastly, help them avoid plastic with a bundle of silicone Stasher bags for food storage and prep or a stylish cotton tote that's perfect for holding all their tools.

Garden Kits and Growing Systems

Gardening kits are inherently giftable because they usually come with everything the recipient will need to get growing. Kits are great for beginners, young and old, but if they're interested in growing indoors or extending their growing season, consider gifting a hydroponic gardening system that allows you to grow plants without soil. Hydroponic gardening is ideal for anyone, really, but especially for people with limited garden space, those who want reliable and consistent harvests for eating and cooking and gardeners with short or unpredictable growing seasons. Available in small countertop models for a handful of herbs or small greens all the way up to multi-level gardens where you can fit up to 36 plants in at one time. Several HGTV editors love growing hydroponically, and we like brands like AeroGarden, Lettuce Grow and Rise Gardens.
