Garden tools for the hours she loves outdoors
Useful little companions for planting, tending and pottering, chosen around the garden she loves.
Read the guideA few ideas to begin with.
for container gardening or raised bed planting
Orange Three Piece Garden Hand Tool Set
Someone who wants a compact, focused hand-tool set for planting and transplanting rather than a large multi-piece kit.
A trowel, hand rake and transplanting spade form a compact set for planting jobs. The transplanter has a depth scale, and the TPR handles include hanging holes for storage.
The named contents are three hand tools. If she wants pruning shears or a carry bag, check those separately.

for moving between flower beds

It suits someone who carries her gardening seat between flower beds and stores it away afterwards.
An 18mm-thick EVA cushion provides the kneeling surface, with side handles on the convertible frame. The unit weighs 2.75 kg, folds for storage and includes two 600D Oxford fabric tool bags.
At 2.75 kg, it still needs carrying between work areas; check that this weight suits the recipient's routine.

Retekess TR604 Plug-In AM/FM Portable Radio
Someone who wants a straightforward radio with large, easy-to-grip controls and the option to run it from the mains or batteries.
