Gift Guide: 10 Stocking Stuffers for Gardeners

December 17, 2017

When my daughters were small, one of them (who know you are) loved stocking stuffers so much that she sneaked downstairs in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve and replaced hers with a pair of tights. Weirdly, Santa did not fill both legs—but I heard he applauded the ingenuity.

Here are 10 pint-sized presents so appealing they might persuade even a grownup gardener to try the tights trick:

Pocket Scissors

A petite pair of hand-forged shears from Japan, Kobayashi Harvester Scissors measure 5.5 by \2.7 inches and are ideal for snipping herbs or soft stems; \$80 from Ode to Things.

Spools of Twine

I cannot get enough twine. A Givande three-pack (with spools of black, beige, and white twine) is \$\2.99 from Ikea.

The perfect choice for gardeners who need to write thank you notes for all of their holiday gifts is a pack of six letterpress Fern Ensemble Notecards; \$\15 from Moontree Letterpress.
