Christmas Gifts for Gardeners

If you have a gardener on your Christmas gift-buying list, my first thought is you won't have any trouble finding great items they will love.

But then I realize you might think you can't get anything that looks like work (this goes back to the old admonition to NEVER buy your wife a new vacuum for Christmas), so that thought may keep you from buying gardening gifts.  

Here's what you need to know:  to avid gardeners, it's not really work - they LOVE it.  Andf you get them something that makes gardening easier or more pleasant, they will love you for it.  It's like getting a new power tool for someone who does woodworking for fun.

So here's a few ideas for great Christmas gifts for gardeners to get you started.  

Note:  each gift idea is linked to a source for buying the item, but I have not checked to see these are the best prices, best quality, or even best vendor.  The links are just so you can see examples of what's available.
