When Christmas comes around, it can pose a challenge to find a gift for gardeners that’s both thoughtful and connects with their interests. That’s why our experts at Mr Fothergill’s have picked out some of the best suggestions for what gifts to give for Christmas that offer garden lovers something unique this festive period.
Finding the perfect Christmas present should be simple and enjoyable, so take a look at our expert gift ideas and find something that suits every type of gardener and budget.
For the Beginner Gardener: Kickstart a Lifelong Passion
At Mr Fothergill’s, we love that more and more people are always discovering the joys and rewards of gardening. This Christmas, why not give the gift of gardening with a present that ignites a loved one’s passion for growing their own plants, fruit, and vegetables?
For young ones, discovering the wonderful world of gardening can begin with opening an All-In-One Kit on Christmas morning. Not only do these kits provide everything children need to sow their first vegetable seeds or start their very own flower display, but they can also help them better understand the connections between what they grow in the garden and the food on their dinner plates. Perhaps no kit does this better than the Veggie Garden Starter Kit, a fantastic gift to inspire any youngster to get into the garden.
It isn’t just young people who can be inspired by the perfect gift. Mr Fothergill’s bundle and save collection is full of excellent gardening gift ideas to encourage friends and family to get their hands dirty. Pick an accessory bundle that comes with everything they need to start their first greenhouse, or perhaps a seed mix that’s sure to give their first garden variety and colour.
For the Gourmet Veggie Grower: Delight Their Taste Buds
Knowing what to buy a gardener for Christmas can be challenging, but if your friend or loved one loves sowing and growing their own garden vegetables, we recommend picking them something that speaks to their passion and tantalises their taste buds.
For flavour that never goes out of style, every veggie grower will love something from our heirloom vegetable seeds range. Having been carefully passed down through the generations with little change in their natural form over the last 50 to 100 years, these open-pollinated seeds have been renowned for their incredible shapes and flavours, making for a gardening gift like no other. Those with an eye for the quirky and unusual will also find modern varieties, such as the Purple Sun Carrot seeds, a joy to unwrap on Christmas morning.
For the Flower Fanatic: Fill Their Garden with Colour
The warmth and sunshine of an Australian Christmas might have you thinking about flower seeds, and at Mr Fothergill’s, we’ve got the collections to turn a great gift idea into a present your loved one will never forget.
Flowers that look and smell wonderful are certainly a good gift for Christmas, but why not go even further and select an excellent gift that also brings practical value to their garden? Choose from our range of pollinator-friendly plants, perfect for turning a garden into a haven for bees and butterflies, or browse our Cut Flower Garden seeds for the gift of dazzling displays that last all year round.
Perfect Stocking Stuffers: Gifts Under $25
Are you the office gardener’s Secret Santa? Or maybe you need that perfect stocking stuffer for your landscaper mum or dad? Don’t worry, because our gifts under $25 collection has just what you’re looking for!
For rustic charm and style, our Mason Jar Plants are ideal for veteran gardeners and beginners alike. Self-watering and packed with everything needed to grow strawberries, spearmint, basil seeds, and more, these sets take care of themselves for a relaxed, rewarding growing experience.
Equally practical, yet just as charming, are our Windowsill Grow Kit Tins. Eco-friendly and made for growing flower or herb seeds with ease, this gift will look right at home in your parents’ garage, grandparents’ living room, or best friend’s kitchen.
The 'Wow' Factor: Gifts They'll Treasure for Seasons to Come
When deciding what makes a good gift for a gardener, premium products are certainly one way to make a loved one feel special. From intricately designed bee sanctuaries that offer a safe place for much-needed pollinators to work their magic to expertly designed topiary shears or pruner secateurs, selecting a premium gift for your loved one this Christmas can not only enhance their gardening experience but also improve their seasonal yield.
For a Christmas gardening gift that will really impress, our HydroGardens help gardeners grow smarter, not harder. With timed grow lights, water level indicators, and smart soil pods, these kits make growing herbs and vegetables indoors easier than ever.
