Every gardener knows there are no rules, but this great little book is stuffed with tips, anecdotes and warnings from two gardeners who have been there and done that. It reads like a chat between gardeners, full of insights, suggestions and a whole lot of good humor.
2. Metal Herb Plant Markers
If there's one thing we plant year after year it's herbs. This set of 8 metal markers will mark the spot (and make it easier to send someone else outside to gather herbs for dinner). They look equally charming in pots. Pre-labeled for the following herbs: basil, fennel, garlic, mint, parsley, rosemary, sage and thyme. 2 1/2 inches W x 7 1/4 inches H.
3. Blooming Teas
5. Garden Bon Bons

As charming as a box of fine chocolates and much less fattening. These bon bons are made of seeds, organic compost and clay. It's an instant way to plant, fertilize and prevent birds and insects from eating your seeds.
The Italian Herb Selection comes with basil, chives, parsley and thyme and the Herbal Tea box has seeds of lemon balm, chamomile, borage and stinging nettleLemon Balm/Melissa officinalis. Just toss them in a sunny part of your garden, water and be patient. The hard part is parting with the adorable bon bons.
7. 4-in-1 Tool Sharpener
A convenient and easy to use sharpener - who wouldn't be thrilled to find this in their stocking? I was skeptical at first, but this little gen really works. It's easy on the hands and safe on the fingers. Good for a multitude of straight-edge tools. Plastic with diamond-honed tungsten carbide 4-1/8" W x 2" W. $19.95
8. Recycled Glass Rooting Vases
They look like Christmas ornaments, even without the cuttings. Reclaimed glass, in red, blue and green, can be purchased individually or as a set. Hang them in a sunny window, fill with water and add cuttings of your favorite plants, to root for potting up. It's the perfect way to keep cuttings going all winter and have a truly low maintenance windowsill garden.
