Our top 5 gifts for gardeners this Christmas!?!

With just 27 days left until the big day, the annual Christmas shopping marathon is now well and truly underway!!! As most families seem to have at least one keen gardener to buy for, here at Aquatic and Pet Warehouse we decided to take a closer look at the range of gardeners’ gifts available this Christmas. So take a sneaky peek at the list below and you’ll be able to cross one person off your shopping list at least!?!


1. A birdfeeder or bird table is a great gift that will give hours of pleasure to anyone who loves birds and wants to attract regular feathered visitors to their garden. The
Conniston Hanging Birdfeeder is a great example of the attention to detail that now goes into the latest designs. This feeder has a copper patina roof that will gain more character as it weathers and the feeder has even been featured in BBC Homes and Antiques Magazine!!

2. The right footwear is essential for any keen gardener and wellies seem to fit the bill perfectly.
Town and Country make some great wellington boots that are not only practical, but look good too!! Each wellie is handmade so they are extremely comfortable to wear, and as they are available in a choice of colours they make an ideal gift for any stylish gardener!?!

3. Let’s face it; gardening gloves probably get more wear and tear than any other garden essential so it makes sense to invest in a quality pair of gloves. Nowadays quality doesn’t have to mean boring though and both Town and Country and Briers offer some wonderful
gardening gloves in a variety of styles, sizes and colours to suit every taste!?!

4. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the beauty in some of the outdoor ornaments currently available on the market does seem to leave a lot to be desired!?! If you’re looking for inspiration, Bermuda make a great range of hand crafted resin
water spitters that would look terrific in any garden whatever the size or shape!!

5. Metal post boxes offer peace of mind keeping your post dry and secure instead of being shredded in the letter box, and with the range of
post boxes now available on the market – they also make a stylish and individual gift. With so many designs and colours available they can be matched perfectly to any style of home and offer a great focal point to every garden!!

Christmas shopping needn’t be a chore if you know where to look – the trick is to try and find something that the masses haven’t all nipped out to buy during their lunch hour!?! So where can you buy all these great gardening gifts – the
Aquatic and Pet Warehouse of course?!?! Check out our website at www.aquaticandpetwarehouse.co.uk and complete your Christmas shopping in the click of a button!?!
