Overview

If your giftee loves gardening or has expressed a desire to learn more about it, consider using this theme.

Gift Ideas

Think about things that a gardener would love to receive or do:
- Perhaps a gift card to their favourite garden store or nursery. If they don’t have the space for a garden, consider a gift card for a company that delivers responsibly grown, organic food (eg: spud.ca)
- Activities: classes to work on their skills (there are often several events and workshops around gardening available if you do a little online searching), visit some botanical gardens, zoos frequently offer some botanical information sessions as well.
- Gardening supplies like soil, plants, flowers, gloves, hoses, etc can be very useful and appreciated gifts.
- Gardening can be tough on hands, so something simple like hand cream can easily work here.
- On a budget? Make your giftee a meal with garden fresh ingredients.
You can keep the theme simple and just present gifts around gardening or you can incorporate other themes. For instance:
- Gardening is very earthy and environmentally friendly so it can work well with our Elements and Going Green themes.
- Gardening is usually associated with spring and summer so think about using our Seasons theme.
- Rocks can be an integral part of a garden so consider our Rock, Paper, Scissors theme. Gardening shears could easily work as scissors here.
- Do you have gifts in all sort of colours? Or would you like to go with a green thumb theme? Try our Colours theme.
Feel free to stretch terminology here. The word ‘bedding’ is common in gardening so if you have a bed or sheets to give, they could fit nicely into this theme.
Stuck for ideas? Consider donating to a charitable organization that promotes community gardens or using gardening as therapy for those with mental health concerns.

Wrapping

Apply pictures of different types of plants/flowers or gardening tools to each gift.
Tie a small garden related item into the ribbon around the gift (eg: a flower, small trowel, seeds).
If you have some time to order it, using wrapping paper embedded with seeds would be a unique touch. There are a few companies out there that make it and you can actually plant the paper and watch it grow.

Presentation

Take your giftee out into the garden to give the gift or, if you don’t mind getting a bit dirty, plant your gifts in some soil and make your giftee dig them out.
Use quotes or phrases that relate to your theme when you present the gifts or in your card. For example:
- Happy birthday to a guy/gal who’s anything but garden variety.
- Always take time to stop and smell the roses.
- I hope this gift sows the seeds for a great birthday!
- Happy anniversary to someone who always looks at life through rose coloured glasses.
