Choose a useful gift that can be used over and over, such as the Literati bookmark. This elegant elastic bookmark will fit any book. They are available in around thirty styles, including monograms. Gardeners would likely be most interested in the butterfly, dragonfly, and the frog ones. These bookmarks are adorned with Austrian crystals, other genuine gems, charms, and beads. A portion of the proceeds from each sale goes to literacy organizations.
Among the most popular gifts in America are flowers, jewelry, and clothing. One survey found that the gifts people wanted to receive the most were flowers and houseplants. Give potted plants and other types of things that are suitable for growing indoors during the winter months. The nice thing about plants is that no gift wrap is needed.
Orchids are among the top best selling potted plants. They are readily available now at fairly reasonable prices, which wasn't true some years ago. Various kinds are suitable for novice gardeners. The more finicky types are best suited to gardeners with more experience.
Create your own blooming basket as a gift. Choose an African violet that is in full bloom. Place the pot in a lovely decorative basket, and put moss around the edges of the basket. Add a bow, and you're all set to go.
So far as jewelry is concerned, there are various brands with motifs to please gardeners. The 14 Carrot Design line should be available at local garden centers and nurseries. This hand-painted, colorful jewelry features floral themes and garden sayings.
Magnetic kitchen art has now reached new heights. There is an exciting new line of refrigerator ornaments. The new magnetic organizer sets include a calendar and planner along with a dry erase marker and decorative magnets. For herb lovers, an appropriate choice is Olives and Garlic. This depicts a potted olive plant, bunches of garlic, an olive branch with fruit, and bottles of olive oil. Other versions in this series include chefs, cocktail hour, and back to school.
Among the many suitable garden gifts are things for the home. These may be strictly functional, but often it is possible to find practical items decorated with garden motifs. One of the most beautiful kitchen mats I've seen was decorated with potted topiaries. Though it is sold for use in the kitchen, I see no reason it couldn't be used elsewhere in the home.
