If personalised gifts aren’t quite hitting the mark, you can’t go wrong with some classic gardening goodies for your gardening chums. Sometimes, practical presents like a herb care guide or eco-friendly gardening kit can really steal the show. Here are some top picks to consider this year:

  • High-Quality Antique Hand Tools: Every dedicated gardener needs a trusty set of hand tools and they don’t make’m like they used to!

Shears, spades, trowels, forks, sickles, rakes, hoes – the options are endless and they make make fab gifts for both men and women.
  • Gardening Books: Whether it's how to grow culinary herbs, an indoor herb care guide, or a herbal with the best advice on medicinal herbs to plant, these books are always in vogue and make great gardening stocking fillers.
  • Customised Herb Gift Box: Looking for an unusual gardening gift? No worries! Put together your own herb plant box for your loved ones. It’s a win-win—low-cost and a surefire hit for anyone wanting to expand their herb collection.
  • Wellness Herb Gift Box: For the gardener and health lover who seemingly has everything, a Wellness Herb Collection could be just the ticket! Containing herbs traditionally used for promoting health and wellbeing it comes with labels, ornamental pots, herb snips and a growing guide—everything they need to look after them.

These gifts are some of the cream of the crop this year. But if you're looking to keep an eye on the budget, let’s dive into some brilliant gardening gifts that won't break the bank.

There’s an entire garden of options—whether you're after a thrifty trio of culinary herbs or something with a bit more zing, like an indoor herb garden gift set. Here’s the lowdown on the best gifts for gardeners that fit tight budgets, sit nicely in the middle, or go all out with luxury:

  • Affordable Gifts: Even if your wallet's feeling a bit snug, you can still wow the gardeners in your life! Grab a few of packets of herb or vegetable seeds, or a couple of hand tools and useful items like garden twine and herb snips. These make brilliant, affordable gardening gifts for those who love getting their hands dirty.
  • Mid-Range Presents: If you’ve got a little wiggle room in the budget, a gardening tool set or an indoor, culinary herb garden box is spot on. You could even throw in some herb drying racks for those serious about cooking and preserving all year round.

Tips for Choosing the Perfect Gardening Gift This Year

So, we've had a good old natter about some unique, top-notch, and wallet-friendly gift ideas for gardeners. But how on earth do you pick the best one for your partner or dear aunt Lucy? You can't just whip out the first indoor herb garden gift you see and call it a day! Let's dig a bit deeper, shall we?

First off, get to know their green-fingered passions. Are they into culinary herbs, medicinal herb plants, or maybe growing their own spices? If they're the next Jamie Oliver or a fan of natural remedies, choose gifts that match their botanical interests and will help them achieve their gardening dreams.

Next up, space. You wouldn't buy a combine harvester to cut a garden lawn. The same goes for the best gardening gifts. If your loved-one is squeezed into a tiny flat, a book on herb gardening and a collection of indoor herbs could be just the ticket.

But if they're the proud owner of a sprawling garden, an extensive herb planter gift set might be spot on.

Consider whether you want to go for practical or decorative gifts. Not every garden lover dreams of flashy, grand gestures. Sometimes, the best gift is something useful that they'll actually, you know, use. If you're still stumped, you can’t go wrong with a gift certificate to their favourite garden centre. It's the gardening equivalent of a free pass to happiness!

This mob of herbal heavy lifters will have your back all year round. They're all evergreen, shrubby or woody types and once mature will be as tough as they come, giving essential culinary herbs through the autumn and winter. Slower growing than most, they'll happily sit on a sunny windowsill for a while (especially over winter) but will only reach their impressive potential outside in pots, a herb garden or border.

Popularised by the famously multi-estranged folk duo Simon & Garfunkel, Scarborough Fair is a traditional northern English ballad about the impossible tasks a girl will to do to claim her true love. However, the inspiration from this collection came from the fabulous ‘Scarborough’ sausages of butchers Burton & Son in Saffron Walden. Original lyrics used ‘savory’ instead of ‘parsley’ – which is handy.
