    My best present last year was a "good" kneeling pad for the garden. Mine was a Kneelo and it's worth every penny. Oh, and I think your idea is great, I would be over the moon with such a thoughtful gift.

    I'd love the gift as well.

    I was only thinking the other day that we never have enough pond netting (which we use for covering brassicas) and weed surpresent. I doubt anyone would buy me that for Christmas as it dosn't seem like "a present", IYSWIM but it would be very useful.
  • If they struggle with Clay soil how about a Mattock? I love mine - An hour or two breaking up my clay is an excellent stress reliever!

    If not, how about a proper snow shovel and bag of rock salt for the path / driveway - not essential but for clearing a drive quickly and easily its the tool for the job!
  • Last year I asked for a decent set of secateurs and got some! I'd also like one of those plant labelling machines but don't know if they are worth the money. Failing that some plastic write on sticks to keep track of everything I plant.

    This year I'd like a decent saw that can cut straight every time as 'm hoping to do home made window boxes....... I've never been a great carpenter though.
