Is there agardener on the gift list waiting to be filled? Someone at home or work who loves plants? Here are some top gift ideas for that green-thumb person's present.

National Home Gardening Club Membership

Gardening website access, plant magazine subscription and special seed-trading ads for members of the National Home Gardening Club make this a fun gift for gardeners. Yearly or Lifetime memberships are available with special bonus gifts for lifetime club members including a life-long subscription to the “How to Garden” magazine. If your gardener isn't already a member consider the National Home Gardening Club as an exciting gift for Christmas, Mother's Day or birthday celebrations. Just be aware that you may receive other "special offers" from the company from time to time and should simply call and ask to be removed from any further offers if you don't want them.

Outdoor Solar Garden Lights

Gardeners are proud of their landscape designs but many of them spend so much money and energy on the plants, mulch and shrubbery the finishing touches garden lights provide are ignored. Help your gardener spotlight their favorite plants and groupings by giving them solar-powered outdoor lights. These garden lights don't need any fancy wiring and are easy to install wherever an outdoor light is needed. Outdoor solar lights draw energy from the sun during the day and then use that energy to provide outdoor lighting during the night. Outdoor lighting also increases safety in the garden marking the corners of planters and garden pathways for easier access.

Gift Certificate for Gardening Aches-and-Pains Massage

Gardeners are in constant motion bending, stooping, digging, transplanting, shoveling, weeding and planting. Muscle tension and aches are inevitable when gardening. Why not treat your gardening co-worker or friend to a massage? Most massage therapists would be willing to create a special gardening themed gift certificate if requested and this would be perfect as a corporate gift in the workplace.

Flower Press and Craft Supplies

Perhaps your gardener is an art lover as well and would appreciate being able to preserve her garden flowers. A great gift idea for this type of gardener would be a flower press with card paper, stamps, and preserving spray to create cards or other crafts using flowers grown in their garden! A flower press is a unique and thoughtful gift for a gardener who would appreciate saving their flowers and displaying them in a creative way.

Whether the gardener on your gift list is a family member, a loving friend or a co-worker in a corporate setting these unique and thoughtful gift ideas will help you get started on your Christmas or birthday presents.
