I would like some good quality gardening gloves, I bought myself 2 pair last year and one has holes in the fingertips so no use for anything really, even bringing in the turf I end up getting splinters and the likes.
My daughter is getting me a propogator as I dropped the hint to my wife and she took the bait.

I have mostly bought books for myself (see other thread I started), but listening to GQT the other day I decided to try a gardenia, so a few clicks of the mouse later I have a
Gardenia Jasminoides Kleim's Hardy for £6.39
and a
Blueberry Vaccinium 'Spartan' 9cm also for £6.39 (seemed churlish no to add in some fruit)
winging their way towards my doorstep :-)

I’m giving seeds in homemade seed envelopes to my gardening friend. It’ll be quite a large selection because I’m going to be sharing all of the seeds I get from the seed circles I’m in.
Just in case anyone’s been living under a rock I’m asking santa for building equipment, materials & contents

I have 80+ packets of seeds of unknown variety from the Chiltern Seeds Bargain basement and 10 2nd hand books, mostly about gardening, from Awesome Books, all in the post now!!
Why let others buy you what they think you'd like, when you can do it so much better yourself.

Things that get used or wear out quickly, like canes, twine, wooden sticks for plant labels, gloves, secateurs.
Things to keep like fruit bushes, really nice trowel, wellies, paper pot maker, shed, greenhouse (more expensive items second hand or combine contributions from every member of a large extended family if you have that option)
Manure delivery (with or without your help to shift it)
Stuff for rest breaks like garden chair, flask, camping stove/kettle, parasol
£10 to spend in a seed shop
For giving, you might be able to make things like dibbers, pot tamper, holster for secateurs, seed sowing ruler - browse an exclusive/expensive catalogue for ideas...
If you want ideas for young kids to make for family members, try a tray of paper pots or some handwritten seed labels (supervise carefully with indellible ink!), or a homemade cress growing kit (reuse a plastic container with lid , pop in little compost and cress seeds, apply lid and wrap - then add water after unwrapping)
