(BPT) - Imagine sitting back and actually enjoying the holiday bustle knowing the gifts for everyone on your list are bought, wrapped and hidden away. With Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals right around the corner, you could have your shopping done in a snap, and save money, too.
But, finding inspiration for those gifts is a little tricky. Good news! Professional landscape contractor, author, TV host of "I Hate My Yard" and STIHL spokesperson Sara Bendrick can help with that. Here are Sara's best gift ideas for the gardener or lawn enthusiast in your life.
Get to pruning!
Late fall and early winter is the time to prune trees and bushes while they are dormant. The STIHL GTA 26 is a versatile battery-powered garden pruner that offers high cutting performance, power and precision in a lightweight handheld tool. Whether it's cutting back small to mid-sized tree branches, pruning hedges, cutting away errant Christmas tree branches or trimming the trunk to fit in your tree stand, this is a great tool for the job.
For that garden of the month look
If you have friends or family who want to get into gardening, or just enjoy the fun of getting a package in the mail every month, check out Plantfix's monthly subscription boxes. These are kits that contain seed packs, soil, planters or mini greenhouses, planting and care instructions and more. Choose a home garden theme, which lets you grow your own food with herb and vegetable seeds, or an ornamental garden theme, which comes with seeds for houseplants, succulents and more. Hint: These are great for teens, too.
Keep it clean and tidy
During the winter months, many gardeners bring their gardening inside their greenhouses, basements and porches for projects like repotting plants or starting seeds. If you've done it, you know it makes a mess, and the STIHL SEA 20 battery-powered, handheld vacuum is the perfect, lightweight clean-up tool. Hint: this is also a great tool to vac around the base of your Christmas tree to clean up those needles.
Embrace nature in your garden
Looking for the perfect gift for a gardening enthusiast who loves birds? Consider a bird feeder with a built-in camera! This innovative device not only attracts a variety of birds to your garden, enhancing the natural beauty and biodiversity of your outdoor space, but also captures stunning close-up photos and videos of the birds in action.
Achieve a prize-winning garden
Whether you're trimming ornamental plants or small shrubs, the STIHL HSA 26 battery-powered garden shears deliver unparalleled precision in a lightweight package. These are perfect for garden lovers who appreciate artistry and desire a neatly trimmed, prize-winning garden look. They're lightweight, too, and come with two interchangeable blades included, so you can trim those shrubs like an artist.
The lawn and garden lovers on your list will be delighted to find these gifts wrapped up under the tree. Need more inspiration? Find more great gift ideas from the pros in the STIHL Gift Guide.
