Well, we are down to the wire here for gift ideas for the gardeners in your family. Many garden tools that a gardener finds useful will need to be bought by the gardener, but there are some tools that it seems every gardener lacks that they could use. There are also some supplies that are very useful but get used up, so restocking the gardener’s supplies can be very helpful.
You won’t believe how useful a magnifying glass is until you start carrying one around. A folding 10x jeweler’s loupe fits in your pocket and costs about 10 dollars. It is especially useful for getting splinters out. Gardeners will use it to identify small insects like aphids and spider mites. Plus, there are many very tiny flowers that go unnoticed until you have a magnifying glass with you.
