If you're still stumped on that perfect gift for the gardener in your life, hopefully Part Three in my gift giving series will reveal just the thing you've been seeking.
Let's get right to it:
- Have you noticed your gift recipient's trees looking a little lackluster? Do they wear the same old leaves every year? Is their bark that same old drab gray from season to season? This product promises to give their trees the sparkling personality that they lack. The Yelling Tree Face is bound to grab the attention of surrounding plants and people. Before you know it, their trees will be the life of the party.
- Topiary is a time honored tradition in the grand gardens of Europe. Whether it's a French poodle or the Loch Ness Monster, these whimsical additions will give anyone's garden that certain "je ne sais quoi". And just let them try to re-gift this one!
- Have you ever wished for larger hands? That's the question asked by the company selling this nifty little number. The Leaf Rake Hands will dispell any inadequacies in that department. Once they slip their puny little hands into these, your gift recipient will feel like a garden superhero as they scoop up large piles of leaves in an instant. Wolverine will have nothing on them. Great for scaring the neighborhood children off your lawn too.
- Look no further than the Lawn Stryper for the gardening man in your life. This handy invention allows him to transform his turf into Target Field or favorite golf course lookalike. Be the first on your block to get this gift. But it begs the question for us gals, when will they invent a similar device to mow cute polka-dots or a subtle check?
- Many gardeners love to grab a cup of coffee and stroll through their garden fist thing in the morning. These stylish High Tech Plant Examining Glasses will let them see what's wrong with their garden right out of the gate. Developed by Nasa these lenses filter out light from healthy green chlorophyl and spotlight disease and pest damage before it's visible to the naked eye. Who needs rose colored spectacles for their roses when they can have these?
- Gnomes lend a certain old-world charm to any garden. When you've wearied of gnomes in such tired and cliche poses as "wheeling a cart", "digging with spade", "carrying water bucket" and "picking flowers", there's nothing like "gnome in a mankini" to liven up your garden plot.
Happy Holidays to all my readers! May all your gardening gifts be wonderful and well-received.
