Need to do some peaceful, non-stressful holiday gift shopping? Come take a stroll at Gill’s and pick out a few gifts for the green thumbs on your list! We’ll help you find the right plants, useful tools, nature-related holiday ornaments, holiday cards, and all kinds of other unique and fun gifts to help connect your loved ones to the outdoors. Here’s our gift guide for gardeners!
1. Terra Cotta ReGrower!
These things are so simple and so cool! Place atop a glass or jar, add a little soil (or not, depending on the plant), and sprout new plants. Excellent for herbs, onions, and houseplants that can be propagated from cuttings.
2. Gifts that Grow
Now is a great time to plant winter flowers like petunias, geraniums, and snapdragons, and they’re quick and easy to plant! Easy for Santa to sneak in and secretly plant a few flowers.
Roses, herbs, and onions are all great to plant right now too. Or if you want to make it a truly memorable holiday, plant a tree! Remember that trees benefit greatly from being planted in fall and winter, including nice citrus trees! And if you don’t want to do any hauling or digging, we can deliver and plant it for you.
3. Poinsettias and Other Holiday Classics
Poinsettias are THE classic holiday décor and centerpiece for holiday meals. They make great gifts for teachers, bosses, coworkers, and friendly acquaintances – they just make people happy! A blooming Christmas Cactus or Kalanchoe is great too, or a small living holiday tree like a juniper or rosemary. We can gift wrap these for you, too!
4. Fun Pottery & Houseplants
Our greenhouse is brimming with all kinds of fun pottery for house and patio plants. Let us help you find the perfect plant + pot combos.
5. Mushroom Grow Light for Houseplants
Level up your plant parent gift game with these super cute mushroom-shaped grow light! Perfect for adding more houseplants to those tricky low-light spots.
6. Quality Garden Tools
We don’t carry a huge selection of tools, just nice tools that are made to last – the tools we sell are the tools our pros use. Pruners, loppers, kitchen/herb shears, or even a quality sharp-shooter shovel make great gifts. Working with quality tools makes gardening a lot more fun.
7. Soothing Wind Chimes
Lots of different tones and styles for relaxing in the garden, including our favorite chimes of all time, Music of the Spheres. Hand-made and hand-tuned here in TX.
8. Birding Supplies
Got birders on your list? Get them a nice stone birdbath, a decorative feeder, a lacquered or natural gourd house, some bird food, and maybe some bird-supporting plants!
