Gifts for gardeners

Looking for gifts for gardeners that are a little more personal than another pair of gloves or a packet of seeds? This guide brings together small, affordable jewellery with a garden theme, from earrings shaped like a watering can and flower pot to floral brooches and pieces inspired by the bees, birds, butterflies and hedgehogs that visit the borders. Every gift shown is a real product from our shop, and the prices are the current ones.

Keen gardeners often have every tool they need, and the shed is usually full already. That is why a garden themed piece of jewellery works so well. It celebrates the hobby they love without adding clutter, and they can wear it long after the growing season is over, whether they are heading to the garden centre, the allotment or a family dinner.

Whether you are shopping for a birthday, a thank you or Christmas gifts for gardeners on your list, the sections below are grouped by theme, so you can match the gift to the plants and wildlife they care about most.

Unusual gifts for gardeners who have every tool

If you want an unusual gift for a gardener, start with something that could only really be for them. Our gardening themed earrings feature a tiny watering can and flower pot, and there is also a pair of studs with a flower pot and shovel, plus a watering can pendant for someone who prefers a necklace. They are playful without being silly, and they are exactly the sort of thing a fellow gardener will spot and ask about.

Leaf designs are a quieter option for someone who likes a simpler look. Green leaf studs, leaf rings and an enamel leaf bangle all bring a touch of the garden into an everyday outfit, and they suit people who would never usually wear anything novelty.

These pieces are small, light and easy to post, which makes them a good choice if you are sending a gift to a parent, grandparent or friend who lives some distance away.

Floral brooches for flower lovers

A flower brooch is one of the easiest gifts for gardeners to get right, because almost everyone who loves growing things has a favourite bloom. Our range includes daisies, roses, tulips and lilac, in enamel and metal finishes, so you can pick a flower that matches the one they grow, the one they always buy or the one in their name.

Brooches are also practical for gardeners, who often spend their days in coats, fleeces and cardigans rather than anything dressy. A brooch pins straight onto those layers and brightens them up without getting in the way of the digging. If you are new to brooches yourself, our guide to how to wear a brooch has plenty of ideas you can pass on.

If you would like to add a card, our pop-up cards include sunflower and floral bouquet designs that open into a little three dimensional scene, which suits a gardener down to the ground.

Bees, birds and butterflies

Many gardeners plant with wildlife in mind, choosing flowers for the bees, leaving seed heads for the birds and putting up feeders through the winter. A piece of jewellery that celebrates those visitors is a thoughtful way to show you have noticed the effort they put in.

Bee brooches are a lovely choice for someone who grows pollinator friendly plants, and our butterfly brooches and earrings come in bright enamel colours. For bird watchers, there are robin earrings, a bullfinch brooch and several other bird brooches that look at home on a winter coat.

A robin is a particularly nice pick as one of the Christmas gifts for gardeners, because it is the bird that so often keeps them company while they tidy the beds in December.

Hedgehogs, owls and other garden visitors

Hedgehogs are a favourite with gardeners who leave a gap under the fence or a wild corner at the bottom of the garden, and our hedgehog brooches make a sweet nod to that. One of them even carries a little daisy, which brings the garden and its wildlife together in a single piece.

Dragonflies suit anyone with a pond, and an owl brooch is a good choice for someone who loves the garden at dusk. These designs feel a little different from the usual floral gifts, which makes them a good option when you suspect they already own several flower pieces.

If the person you are buying for loves animals in general as well as their garden, our gifts for animal lovers guide has more ideas.

How to choose a gift for a gardener

Think about the kind of gardener they are. A vegetable grower who spends weekends at the allotment may enjoy the playful watering can and flower pot pieces, while someone who fills their borders with roses or daisies will probably love a brooch of their favourite flower. A wildlife gardener will appreciate a bee, bird or hedgehog design.

It also helps to think about what they wear. Gardeners who rarely wear earrings may prefer a brooch they can pin to a coat or a pendant they can tuck under a jumper, while someone who wears studs every day will reach for a new pair straight away.

Small gifts are easy to combine, so you could pair a piece of jewellery with a pop-up card or choose two pieces for a bigger present. We offer free UK delivery on orders of £30 or more, which makes it simple to order for several gardeners at once.
