Plant Life Support for Indoor Plants
Here’s a gift for anyone who has ever forgotten to water a houseplant. (That’s pretty much everyone who has a houseplant.) The Plant Life Support for potted plants looks like a small hospital saline bag. Simply add water to the 350ml “IV bag” and it will drip water into the soil for up to 7 days. This handy gift prevents houseplant guilt caused by bone-dry plants. Plus, it’s a great way to keep plants happy when you’re away from home. The Plant Life Support sells for $16 on Amazon.

Protection Sleeves for Gardeners
One of our favorites among the best gardening gifts for the holidays is a set of protective gardening sleeves. Farmer’s Defense Sleeves protect arms from scratches, scrapes, and sunburn—three common ailments of gardeners everywhere. These sleeves are lightweight and comfortable—unlike the hot long-sleeved shirts gardeners typically wear for arm protection. The polyester-blend sleeves fit snugly, so they resist snags while working in the garden. The fabric provides UPF-50 sun protection to reduce sunburn and harmful UV radiation. Durable and machine washable. Plus, they come in four sizes and 12 fun patterns and colors. Farmer’s Defense protection sleeves sell for $27 on Amazon. Check Availability.
Red Glass Hummingbird Feeder
Most gardeners are also bird watchers, and watching hummingbirds in your yard is a special treat. If someone on your holiday gift list is a hummingbird fan, a high-quality red glass hummingbird feeder makes a wonderful gift.
The BOLITE Red Glass Hummingbird Feeder is designed to attract hummers. The red glass will never fade, and the five red-flower feeding ports attract plenty of hummers. This feeder holds 22 ounces of nectar, so it stays filled longer. The metal cap and leak-proof base prevents messy spills and wasted nectar. Just unscrew the container from the base for cleaning (with warm soapy water) and refilling. This outstanding hummingbird feeder costs $23 on Amazon. Buy it Now.
Tietoc Mini Cordless Chainsaw
Looking for the power of a battery powered chainsaw that fits in your hand? The Tietoc Mini 6-Inch Cordless Chainsaw offers amazing cutting power. This awesome tool can cut branches up to 6 inches thick with almost no effort. It makes quick work of trimming trees and shrubs, cutting firewood for a campfire, and many other yard and landscape tasks. The Tietoc Mini Chainsaw weighs just 3.3 pounds, so it’s great for women and older gardeners.
This mini cordless chainsaw has an automatic chain lubrication system. Just pour oil (regular motor oil is fine) into the tank, then lubricate the chain by pressing a button. Just plug in the included charger to recharge the lithium-ion battery. Sells for $60 on Amazon. Check Availability.
Gardening Apron with Pockets
This gardening apron was designed to be the ultimate harvesting apron for gardeners. The convenient kangaroo style pocket is great for carrying all kinds of just-harvested garden produce. Great for harvesting apples, oranges, salad greens, tomatoes, and more! The quick-release pocket makes it easy to empty the pouch. But even when you’re not harvesting, this handy apron can be used to carry garden gloves, pruners, and other hand tools and gardening gadgets. The premium cotton canvas is durable enough to handle many years of use. This tough but attractive garden apron comes in three great colors. Sells for $39 on Amazon. Buy it Now.
Pine Tree Tools Bamboo Garden Gloves
There is no shortage of garden gloves in every garden center and big box store. But basic gloves are for basic gardeners. The Pine Tree Tools Bamboo Gloves for men and women are made of breathable bamboo fabric to keep hands cool and comfortable. Bamboo naturally absorbs perspiration for cool hands in summer and warm hands in winter.
We selected Pine Tree Gloves as among the Best Gardening Gifts for the Holidays because they have “bare hand sensitivity” for precise dexterity. They even work on your smartphone or tablet! Why walk around with those thick, clumsy, ill-fitting gloves when a comfortable, snug-fitting bamboo glove is so much nicer. Makes a great gift—and buy a pair for yourself. A pair of bamboo gloves sells for about $20 on Amazon. Check Sizes and Availability.
Bread Basket with Bread Warmer Stone
Gardeners also love eating fresh foods. The Bread Basket with Bread Warmer Stone from Home Garden and Homestead lets you bring warm bread to your table and keep it warm.
Baking fresh bread is more popular than ever. Keeping fresh bread warm in this grass-woven bread basket with terracotta tile makes fresh bread even better. This bread warmer basket measures 10″ in diameter and 3.25″ tall, and it includes a bread warmer which fits perfectly inside the basket. Just pre-warm the terracotta stone in the oven, place it in the woven basket, and put a loaf of fresh bread on top. A great gift for anyone who appreciates good, wholesome food. Available on Etsy. The companion Beginners Sourdough Baking Kit is also available. Click here to visit the Home Garden and Homestead Etsy Store.
Gardeners Hand Therapy
Gardening can be tough on a gardener’s hands. That’s why a little TLC for dry, chapped skin can be such a great gift for gardeners. Crabtree & Evelyn Classic Gardeners Hand Therapy is perfect for moisturizing and pampering tired, garden-challenged hands. It’s only fitting that this hand therapy cream contains many botanical ingredients including avocado, cucumber, and rosemary. And it smells great, too. Available for $11 at Amazon. Buy it Now.
Radius Garden Root Slayer Shovel
A shovel may not be a top-of-mind holiday gift. But the Radius Garden Root Slayer Shovel is a great gift for a hands-on gardener who loves planting new shrubs—and maybe even moving plants around the yard to give the garden a fresh new look.
The Radius Garden Root Slayer has an ergonomic handle designed for reducing stress on your hands and wrists. This is a serious digging shovel with a V-shaped cutting blade. The serrated blade easily rips through roots and dirt. The sturdy powder-coated carbon steel tip is suitable for almost any garden task that involves digging and cutting. Lifetime manufacturer warranty (continental US only). Sells for $60 on Amazon. Buy it Now.
