Want more hand-selected products?
I think they are as fun to use as they are practical.
I also think a gardening journal, like theGardener’s Logbookmakes a great gift for gardeners of all levels.
Target
For my birthday this year, I’ve added theRifle Paper Co. x Target Indoor Planterto my wish list.
They can also find garden tools and accessories for the gardening season ahead.
I put them to the test in my garden, too, and found them extremely versatile and comfortable.
While I sometimes garden in flip-flops (not recommended!
), I usually wear myBogs Patch Ankle Garden Bootsto keep my toes dry and protected.
They also come in handy as rain boots.
Our favorites are self-watering, with adjustable lighting and built-in timers, requiring little maintenance.
TheClick & Grow 3is one of thebest indoor garden systemswe tested.
It’s easy to set up and maintain and takes up very little counter space.
I also love a good two-in-one product, like theCanvas Carry-All Garden Stool from Anthropologie.
It features a carrying tote that snaps onto the bottom of thefoldable garden stool.
They come with a lifetime warranty and are made to last: every part is replaceable.
But I love tools that make the dreaded chore easier.
Thisrain gaugealso doubles as adorable decor.
The nozzle’s thumb control feature is also comfortable and super easy to use.

Adding ahose timerto my watering routine has been a game-changer.
My favorite indoor planter is theBergs Palace Pot and Saucer Setfrom Anthropologie.
I also think it’s great for herbs or any small houseplant suitable for a clay pot.
Just properly clean the ceramic pot and use the included non-GMO seeds, soil, and plant food.
Theres also a rack underneath to hold supplieswho doesn’t love extra storage space?
TheUncommon Good Solar Tealightsare high on my wish list.
Each one is sold separately, but I can’t decide which one I love best!
Outdoor string lightscan be left up year-round to add functional lighting and ambiance to your patio or garden.
One of my favorites we’ve tested is theBrightech Ambiance Pro Solar String Lights.
The Edison-style bulbs are shatter-proof and solar-powered, making them a practical addition to any patio or garden.
One of myfavorite bird feedersI’ve tested is theBrome Squirrel Buster Mini.
I’m very intrigued (and amused) by smart bird feeders like theNetvue Birdfy Lite Smart Bird Feeder.
I always plant flowers known forattracting hummingbirdsand butterflies so ahummingbird feederis a must.
I have it in my backyard flower garden and finally saw hummingbirds visit last summer!
Another option we love is gifting a gardening class, whether online or in-person locally.
