Rustic Garden Gifts
Something special for the Gardener on your list...
It's not easy finding exactly the right gift for a gardener; sure, you can always give them a beautiful coffee table book, or a gift certificate so they choose their own, but why not make something really special that they will treasure always?
Here are a few ideas for you to start with; most are made from free or very reasonably priced salvaged stuff from garage sales or the thrift store, or natural materials that you may find in your back yard or on a hike.
If you're thinking ahead, or a bit of a hoarder, you'll most likely have a few odd things that you've been dying to use in a craft.
Some of these projects require a bit more work than others, so pick and choose to suit your ability and the time you have to put these together.
For Mothers Day, find a way to give her something totally unique - a handmade gift is always welcome.
Combine two or more; a handbuilt basket filled with gardening tools and a few packages of seeds or special pots will remind the recipient of you each and every time they see it.
For the Christmas season, the ideal gift is one that can be displayed on a mantel or as a tree decoration, or even something for the outdoors, like a funky solitary bee house.
Something scented for those that appreciate essential oils and their fragrance would be awesome in an antique canning jar.
Old looking candles that can be part of the centerpiece on the holiday table, snuggled into some (non flammable) greens will be a knockout, unique addition.

Whether you have twigs around you, or other natural materials, there is always something that will inspire you; give your gardener friend or relative something that will give them so much pleasure.
It's gonna be unique and different than anything else they'll receive, that I can guarantee.
