Here’s my ultimate guide to Christmas gifts for gardeners, specifically organic gardeners. Ok, I understand it can be pretty difficult to buy Christmas presents for people who squeal when they find a particularly good pile of horse manure or a couple of pallet collars going free.
Part of the fun of being an organic gardener is repurposing things to use on your allotment and trying to do things in a way that is as un-consumerist as possible. However, that doesn’t help much when it comes to buying for them. So I’m here to help; because there are a few things that even organic gardeners would be very happy to receive!
So let’s dig in and find out why organic gardeners really want to find under their home-grown Christmas trees with this ultimate guide to Christmas gifts for gardeners!
Christmas Gift for Gardeners
(Contains affiliate links)
1. This golden spade for all their digging needs
This is hands down the best spade I’ve ever owned, and will ever own! Not only does it make me feel like I’ve won some kind of gardening award (“and the golden spade goes to…”), but it’s light, strong and sharp in all the right places. It cuts into the ground perfectly – even in my heavy clay soil. Any gardener would be thrilled to have one of these under their Christmas tree!

2. The Sow Much More Allotment Planner
Every gardener and allotmenteer will tell you how much they struggle to keep track of things on their plot. So why not give them the gift of organisation this year? This handy planner is small enough to fit in your pocket, but big enough for note-taking. It comes with monthly job lists, sowing, planting and harvesting lists, a plant tracker, a bed and plot planner, a temperature tracker and seed sowing checklists. I designed this myself with you in mind and am really proud of it – so thank me later!

3. This Brilliantly Stylish Worm Composter from Wiggly Wigglers
What’s your organic gardener’s favourite thing? You? Nope, guess again; it’s worms. That’s right, worms. They won’t admit this, of course, but if you want to stand a chance of being as highly regarded as worms, this is a good place to start. Allow them to turn kitchen scraps into compost and natural fertiliser for their gardens all whilst playing with worms! What’s not to love? Better yet, you can have 10% off using the link below and the code SOW10.

4. Cut it like Monty Don with these super sleek Niwaki Secateurs
These Japanese secateurs are just the absolute gold standard of gardening tools. They are sharper than the entire gardener’s question time panel and unlike the GQT panel are built to last. As I write this I am fighting the urge to get up and just go and visit mine and hold them. If it were socially acceptable to walk around with secateurs in your pocket, these would go with me everywhere. Lastly, they even come in a really sexy box. Your organic gardener will definitely thank you!

5. Bring them (future) flowers with this meadow in a box
You can bring your favourite gardener flowers for Christmas, but if you want to bring them joy all year round, give them seeds. This meadow in a box will help encourage beneficial insects into their garden, and give them blooms to enjoy all year. Moreover, you will be able to help the planet whilst making your gardener smile!

6. These Stylish Slate Plant Labels
If you don’t have a huge budget but you want to get the perfect present for your favourite gardener, these slate plant labels ought to do it! They’re bound to be a hit as they are reusable, organic and beautiful! Besides, we gardeners are always forgetting what we planted and where! A word to the wise if you’re getting these for yourself; they don’t stand up to the frost very well, so use them in summer 😘

7. Muckboots
The best Christmas gifts for gardeners who are always playing in the dirt; Muckboots are the most recommended gardening boots! They are hard-wearing, comfortable and really easy on the eyes! I switched to Muckboots a few years ago and have never looked back. I use them for literally everything from hiking to food shopping. Furthermore, they are available for men, women and children so it doesn’t matter what shape or size your favourite gardener is – you’ll be able to find them a Muckboot!

9. This Multi-Talented Garden Tool: The Hori Hori Knife
This is so much more than a knife, and as Christmas gifts for gardeners go, this one is brilliant. It also works as a trowel, it’s great for bulb planting, trimming roots, hoeing weeds and lots of other jobs. It also comes with a super cool canvas sheath which means your gardener can wear it on your belt and NOBODY will mess with them. Besides, the chances are, if they don’t have one of these, they probably want one. And if they don’t want one, it’s probably just because they don’t know they exist!

10. This flask for those cold days in the garden
Fed up of making them endless cups of tea? Or talking about how they can get power to their allotment shed to run an electric kettle? Well, you’re not alone. This flask ought to hold them off for a bit though. If there is one thing we gardeners love on a cold day outside it’s a warm drink, so give them the gift of a nice warm cuppa and they will thank you forever! These are available in a range of different styles, sizes and colours to suit your gardener, and work brilliantly to keep water cold in summer too.

10. Extend their growing season with this brilliant heated propagator
If you really want to make them smile, this heated propagator is one of the best Christmas gifts for gardeners who love to start their growing season early. This gives seeds a little bit of warmth so that they can germinate, and help keep your favourite gardener happy! Furthermore, this brilliant little set includes trays with lids that can be used without the heated part too, so it really is the gift that keeps giving!
