    1

    Gardening Clogs

    Instead of ruining a pair of good shoes in the dirt of a garden, most gardeners have a pair of gardening clogs. These useful shoes are easy to slip on and off and rinse off under the hose if needed.

    They also feel great on your feet. You can find a variety of options online, but these are the most popular and come in numerous different colors. 

    2

    Pruning Shears

    Every gardener should have a trusty pair of pruners they carry everywhere in the garden with them. Pruners are used to trim plants and cut them back where needed.

    Depending on the size of the plant or bush, it can be difficult to cut through some branches, so you need reliable and sharp pruners. You can find many different options on Amazon, but these are the best value.

    3

    Unisex Sun Hat

    Hats might seem like a simple choice, but they are a necessity for any gardener spending hours outside every day in the sun. They keep direct sunlight off the face and neck area, protecting from sunburn and heatstroke.

    You can find standard unisex styles, or find one that suits your gardener's style. 

    4

    Multi-Variety Seed Pack

    Although many experienced gardeners use their own seeds saved from previous years, a multi-variety seed pack gives them a new variety to choose from. This heirloom pack gives gardeners premium traditional seeds that will allow them to grow better strains with more abundant and tasty harvests.

    Get them quick though, these types of heirloom seeds have been difficult to find since everyone started gardening at the start of the pandemic. If you're searching for simple gifts for beginner gardeners starting a low-maintenance low-cost garden, this could be a good choice.

    5

    Garden Tool Apron

    Some gardeners use an apron while they’re working in the garden. Others use gardening tool belts to hold their tools. Luckily, you can buy an all-in-one garden tool apron.

    It prevents dirt from getting on the front of your clothes and has many handy pouches for your trowels, hand rakes, and other supplies. Plus, these pouches will help keep your tools organized and within reach.

    6

    Plant Markers/Labels

    Also known as plant markers, these simple mini-signs help gardeners label which seeds and plant varieties have been planted around the garden. They can be customized with a personal touch, or you can choose from some basic options like these.

    If someone you know is planting a variety of seeds this spring, these simple signs will help them keep track of expected progress and what was planted where.

    7

    Watering Can

    Watering cans might sound like a boring gift for someone, but they can actually be very special. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes and provide you with an opportunity to buy something personalized or unique for your gardener.

    You can find traditional water cans, or certain designs you know the recipient will love. 

    8

    Knee Pads

    Knee pads, or kneeling pads, provide much-needed knee protection while gardening. As you may know, gardening involves a lot of kneeling to weed, plant or tend to your garden. 

    And if you're trying to grow a garden to feed your family and secure your food supply, your knees could take a beating. This will lead to sore and dirty knees, which can be prevented with simple knee pads.

    These easy gifts for gardeners are practical and inexpensive.

    9

    Gardening Tool Set

    This basic hand tool gardening set from Amazon includes a trowel, a weeder, a weeding fork, a cultivator, a transplanter, and more. Plus, it even comes with a folding stool and portable tool bag that the entire set fits into.

    If the gardener in your life is just getting started building their gardening tool collection, this is an ideal gift. These essential gardening tools will help gardeners with daily chores in their backyard garden such as weeding, planting, transplanting, and pruning. 

    10

    Leather Gardening Gloves

    Every gardener needs a good pair of gloves, and could probably use a new pair. They keep your hands clean and safe while gardening, protecting you from prickly thorns and other hazards.

    Check out the wide selection of designs, materials, and sizes available.

    No matter the occasion, you can always find perfect gifts for the gardener in your life.

    Buying gifts for gardeners is one of the most straightforward tasks, with so many options available. You can buy personalized gardening gifts or just find something that reflects their personality or uniqueness.
