Here at Garden Boutique we have been carefully selecting products for a range of gifts suitable for gents whether they are horticultural pros, gardening novices or just summer BBQ enthusiasts. So next time you’re stuck for a present take a look; you’re sure to find something that will inspire the recipient to step out of the back door and take on the garden.
1. Gent’s Pruning Gauntlets, £32
These classic gauntlets are an essential for any gentleman. Handmade from high quality leather in a British tannery they are totally thorn-proof and provide excellent protection against scratches and cuts. With a suede cuff that protects to the elbow, they are tough, resilient and long-lasting. They’re also quite dashing. Available in green and chocolate.
2. BBQ Firesteel, £14.95
We’ve scarcely met a man who didn’t claim dominion over the BBQ, or any other fire-related event. Whether you’re camping, having a bonfire or enjoying some tasty grilled chicken you don’t want to be left hunting for matches or trying inventive but precarious fire-lighting techniques. This firesteel, originally designed by the Swedish Department of Defence, is guaranteed to spark up to 12,000 times even when wet. With a 3,000°C spark, ergonomic oak handle and steel striker attached it definitely beats a soggy match.
3. Recycled Sundial, £26.95
This horizontal sundial made entirely from recycled coffee cups has proven incredibly popular amongst our gentleman shoppers. Perhaps it’s the earthy, no-frills presentation or the ingenuity of the material that appeals. It is an attractive, efficient piece of gardening equipment that is also 100% recycled and made in the UK – an ideal addition to any garden or outdoor space. The classic Wall Clock and Clock and Thermometer in this range have proven just as popular.
4. Fairtrade Cotton Hammock, £41.95
For relaxing, reclining and enjoying the fresh air you can’t beat a hammock. Any gentleman who enjoys his outdoor space will jump at the opportunity to get out there, drink in hand, and take some time to appreciate it. The neutral colour and simple cotton weave are suitable for a man of any age and style. This high quality cotton hammock is made in Brazil using sustainable resources and fair labour practices. So it’s good for him and good for the producers too.
5. Grow Your Own Chilli Plants, £12.95
This Grow Your Own Chilli kit is perfect for the man with a flat or apartment with little gardening space. It can be grown on a balcony, in a propagator or on a windowsill depending on his resources and is perfect for those making a start at growing their own. With five varieties of chilli from the red hot Scotch Bonnet to the classic Jalapeno it’s a great addition to a kitchen garden.
6. Retro Tin O’ Twine, £6.95
Our top gift under ten pounds, this tin o’ twine with retro styling is classic gardening fare. With seventy-five mini labels in red, green and black and one ball of high-quality British twine it’s ideal for a man who’s serious about his gardening, and likes everything to be tied up, labelled and put in order. We also have refills available in several colours, so the tin dispenser can be used time and time again.
