1) Go online (again) and order a gift membership for your local botanical or other favorite garden. Any dedicated gardener would most appreciate this gift.
2) Check your local garden center for a high-quality garden knife, my favorite tool for weeding and everything else.
This one is from amleo.com ... there might still be time to order for Christmas. It's simply the best for weeding, digging, planting and the like. And the inch measurements are invaluable. Your local garden center may have this one or something else very similar. You can order it here.
3) Paperwhites. Garden centers -- and even some supermarkets -- now carry glass jars with a paperwhite or two that may bloom just in time for Christmas or the New Year. And check Trader Joes to see if their amaryllis bulbs are yet in stock. Can't go wrong with those, either. Nothing like a blooming flower in the early months to get you ready for spring.
4) And if you can't think of anything else, some seed packets that will produce colorful blooms or desirable veggies will be welcomed by anyone with a large backyard garden.
