Kneeling Pad and Hat

I think a nice kneeling pad and a garden hat. I love the foam kneeling pad I have because it keeps my knees from getting stained and also saves my knees

Tools and Pmapering

Gloves, if $$ permits, hand pruners, an orchid, gardener's soap and hand cream, ties.

A basket of goodies!

A gardening diary and a flower press would be a nice keep sake. Also a little book of gardening thoughts and quotes to give inspiration on those rainy days. A cook book with delicious Jam and Chutney recipes for all those bumper crops of fruit and veg. Lovely handmade soaps with natural scents of rose and lavender and a big jar of hand balm for those hard working hands!

gardening gift bucket

Japanese bulb planter, Korean small hand hoe, Hori Hori knife, Fiskers titanium pruners. Good quality long handled (12-18 inches) garden trowel. One that wont fold in half the first time you pry with it. Japanese sickle has about a 6" blade

Hand care products

Two of my favorites -- Badger Balm (an intense hand cream that softens hands) and a good nail brush. Top it off with a good pair of gardening gloves and you'd have a nice gift pack for an avid gardener.
