What’s Better Than a “Hot Stuff” Apron?
When holidays and special occasions roll around, there’s really only one way to go when you’re searching for that “just right” gift for your Grill Master. Grill-related gifts abound, but it can be a challenge to sift through them all. Instead of that selection of internationally inspired barbecue sauces or spice rubs that your Grill Master may or may not ever use, and instead of the amusing apron that reads “Hot Stuff!”, consider choosing a gift that is not only useful and practical, but that would be appreciated by even the most seasoned Grill Master.
The one thing that every Grill Master needs are grilling tools, and well-made grilling tools make a welcome gift. Choosing a high quality grilling tool set containing a variety of tools that are built to last will help your Grill Master take his or her grilling skills to the next level. Don’t be surprised, though, if you’re feeling a little selfish about giving a gift such as this — it’s natural to hope for the opportunity to taste some deliciously grilled specialties that your Grill Master will create using the new tools. What a scrumptious way to say thank you!
A Spooktacular Solution for Landscape Lighting
How do you keep the walkways to your front door safe and well lighted, especially on spooky nights like Halloween? Cute little ghosts and goblins will be more likely to come looking for tricks and treats if they can see cle
arly how to reach your porch. There are any number of holiday-themed lighting options that would work for lighting the way, but if Halloween lights are only used for Halloween, what will you do for landscape lighting the rest of the year?
Patio Lanterns offer a different approach to landscape lighting than traditional path lights or garden lights. Reminiscent of the decorative street lamps found in Paris and other European cities, patio lanterns bring old-world charm to a patio, deck, or walkway. They dress up a home’s landscape much more effectively than standard path lights or garden lights, and they are easy to decorate from season to season.
Unique Gift Ideas For the Backyard Gardener To Fit Every Budget
You want to get a gift for that special person in your life, but the hard part is deciding what to buy. Gift cards are an easy solution, but they tend to be a bit impersonal. To find a unique gift that your friend will love and appreciate, spend a few minutes thinking about that person and who he or she is. What does your special person do for fun? How does he or she spend spare time? What activities bring joy or contentment to your friend’s life?
Is gardening a favorite activity of your special person? If so, here are a few unique gift ideas that would please any backyard gardener, and they won’t break your budget:
- Garden Tools — Every gardener has a set of gardening tools, but having a spare set of tools on hand is a good
idea. A unique twist on the gift of gardening tools is a gift that encompasses more. A garden tool set that comes with a handy storage tote and sturdy folding seat offers multiple uses and adds value for the gardener.
- Decorative planters — Every gardener has a stash of planters tucked away for use when necessary, but choosing a unique decorative planter for your gardener will ensure that it stays filled with beautiful flowers and plants year round. Lighted planters are one example of a decorative planter that is affordable and serves more than one purpose — not only are lighted planters used to display flowers and plants, but they provide a soft, comforting glow at night. Lighted planters are available in solar-powered or electric varieties.
- Potting Bench — Does your gardener have a dedicated space for re-potting, transplanting, or working with plants and flowers? If he or she uses a random table top or even the ground to do this work, then a proper potting bench would make the perfect gift. Choose a potting bench constructed of a hardy, weather-resistant wood, such as Western Red Cedar. It should also have at least two shelves for storing potting soil and extra pots, and hooks for hanging gardening tools. A feature much appreciated by gardeners is a lip that goes around the sides and back of the potting bench — this keeps the soil on the table top and makes it easier to clean up that spilled soil when potting is done.
Finding just the right gift for your special person really is possible. With a little thought, the gift you choose can not only be unique, but affordable and practical, too.
Wishing For Something Special in Your Garden?
Everyone, at some point, wishes on a star. It is a whimsical and fun way to hope that you get that which you desire. So what do you do during the day? Adding a wishing well to your garden or backyard will ensure that you are ALWAYS able to make that wish! The one in the picture above is so beautiful and versatile. It is made of red cedar that is beautiful as is and unfinished. However, it can also be stained, finished, or painted any way you choose. You could really let your imagination run wild! It has a fully functional crank and handle and has plenty of tub space that is perfect for hiding unsightly objects or adding plants. Wishing wells are also perfect for wedding or anniversary gifts! Don’t you WISH you had one?
