Happy Friday! Here are a few of my favourite gardening things, some ideas for that gardener on your list.
These recommendations are things that I have, things I use regularly and highly recommend, plus a few items that I really would like to have.
This one is pricey and sadly is not on a Black Friday sale, but I thought I would share with you all just in case it is something you have always wanted, as I did.
This chipper/shredder is a good one! I know it is super hard to find a smaller one that works in the everyday garden, does a good job, is worth the money. This is that chipper. It really works, so well! We use it on all smaller tree and shrub branches, corn stalks, sunflower stalks, and even garden debris (after it has sat and dried a while).
All Renee's Garden Seeds are on sale at 20% off till Monday. Great time to pick up your seeds for spring, and for gifting. My favourites?
Flowers - The zinnias! The sweet peas! Signet marigolds, all the sunflowers but the Birds & Bees is my favourite. Oh, and the larkspur! Love the blues.
Veggies - All the cucumbers, especially the Chelsea Prize. The purple cauliflower, King Midas and Starica carrots, the Italian scallions, Chianti Rose and Black Krim tomatoes.
These Tools
These wooden garden tools! I try to always buy wood or metal everything. This set has not only the basics, but also a few extras that I would love to have, like the dibber for planting seedlings and bulbs! That weeding trowel! And the cultivator. I love this set.
Mini pruners! I love the minis! I have several, and use them all the time! I rarely use the bigger ones as these ones do the bits of deadheading, easy clean, and they fit in your jacket pocket, or apron.
Or these minis.
Or these ones from Fiskars - always a reliable brand.

This wagon is on sale! This is one of my most used things in the garden. Top 3, for sure.
It comes in several colours, not just the red one that I have here. Grey, black, yellow, green, and blue, too! I love the blue one. You need this wagon in your life! It has the big tires so goes smoothly over everything, is big and sturdy, fits several grandies, or flower pots ; )
A garden spading fork is a must! I have about 6 of them! They are great for turning soil (if you are into that kind of thing), digging up potatoes, turning compost, digging up plants, dividing perennials, mixing soils and compost together... I never use a shovel, just one of these spading forks for everything! I like this one a lot, easy to find in the garden. This one is shiny and beautiful, is on black Friday pricing, this one is all metal so might not break as fast as the other ones I have.
This box of 600 coloured tags is on sale at an amazing price! Tags are 4 inches tall. I go through so many of these! You can also remove the ink with nail polish to use again. If you grow a lot of seedlings, these are for you. If you don't, buy them at this great price and never have to buy more again!
These soil blockers! No more plastic seed trays. I have these and love them! On sale Black Friday sale!
Or, if you prefer seeding trays, I bought these last year and really like them.
Seedling heating mats are a necessity when starting seeds. I always say that you can get by without lights but not without bottom heat. This is a two pack for a great price. You should be able to start as many seedlings as you want with 2 mats!
I LOVE my compost tumbler so much! It has 2 chambers so you fill one first and then add your compostables to the other side while the first side breaks down the compost. You will have compost from both sides in one summer! I am going to be adding another one for next summer to make even more of my own compost.
Here is another one that is also on sale and looks very similar. This tumbler has just one chamber, very heavy duty! Looks super good!
Last is this coldframe. I use it inside the greenhouse in late winter and early spring, then move it out to a part shade area outside to harden off seedlings before putting them in the ground. Great for flowers or your tomatoes! This one here is a bit cheaper but requires more bending, hah, in case bending is not an issue ; )
I hope you enjoyed this read about gifts for gardeners, my most favourite gardening things, things that I use all the time.
