25 best Christmas gifts for stylish gardeners

Let’s be honest – most gardeners are easily pleased. A precious cutting, a handful of seeds or a new pair of gloves. Our needs are simple but specific, from functional tools to must-have kit. That’s not to say we don’t love indulgent treats – a snazzy new pair of secateurs hand-forged by craftsmen in Japan? Some shearling-lined, Scandi boots to keep feet cosy in the garden? A subscription to an online course to watch whilst winter planning and seed ordering? Yes please to all three. Personalised gifts are also easy to put together – you could order a whole cutting garden or veg patch worth of seeds and then package it all neatly in a beautiful box (Cambridge Imprint’s A5 box files are perfect for this and are a gorgeous gift in themselves; cambridgeimprint.co.uk).
