18 Coolest Outdoor Gadgets for Nature Lovers

Outdoor gadgets
This article contains affiliate links


We all know somebody who seems to spend more time outdoors than inside. Whether camping, hiking, gardening or crafting, they can’t get enough of Mother Nature. The grass is their sofa, the birdsong their morning alarm. They don’t care for Netflix, but a new edition of their favourite wildflower almanac is bound to raise a smile. 
 
If you’ve got an outdoorsy type in your life, you might be wondering what to gift them at the next birthday or Christmas. The good news is there are plenty of great products for people who love being out in the wild. Perhaps your family is planning a big camping trip and you need some new outdoor gear. Or perhaps you just fancy treating yourself.
 
Whatever your reasons for browsing outdoor gadgets, we’re going to show you some of the coolest. We’ve listed our favourite outdoor products and equipment to give you some inspiration. Here are our top picks:

1. Bio-Lite Wood-Burning Stove

​Bio-lite wood-burning stoves have become very popular with camping fans because they provide a ‘clean’ way to cook outdoors. To create a fully functional electric oven, the user simply needs to build a fire (as many people already do when they go camping). Then, they position the bio-lite stove on top of the fire. 
 
The heat from the fire powers a thermoelectric generator inside the stove. This generator charges a fan which injects air into the burn chamber to create a more efficient, more eco-friendly cooking process. It even stores excess energy as electric to be used for charging devices via an integrated USB port. Pretty cool, huh?
 
The only downside to these cool outdoor ovens is their size. They can cook almost anything – including pizzas – but they tend to be on the bulky side. For this reason, we think they’re best suited to campers who travel by vehicle. If you’re going to buy one, you need an easy way to transport a portable stove that’s on the larger side.

2. Thermal Imaging Scope

​This next gadget is for the serious outdoorsman (or lady). As high-quality thermal imaging scopes can be very expensive, you should have a clear purpose in mind when browsing for one. Are you hoping to capture nocturnal animals? Do you need a thermal scope for hunting expeditions? Are you hoping to increase your home’s security?
 
Whatever your reasons for buying a thermal scope, shop carefully. Thermal vision doesn’t need a light source to operate, unlike standard night vision. This means it’s perfect for night-time hunting trips and detecting movement whether from people or animals in extremely low light conditions.
 
You should be aware thermal imaging scopes are normally a little heavier than night vision scopes. Make sure your chosen gadget has ergonomic features that allow it to be gripped tightly without discomfort. You don’t want to lose this piece of kit in the woods!

3. Go Pro

Go Pro cameras have been a staple in the equipment bags of mountain bikers, hikers and climbers for a long time. Yes, they can be rather pricey. However, depending on the type of video footage you’re trying to capture, they may be the only viable choice. Nothing matches Go Pro cameras for rugged, fast-paced action shots and videos.
 
These ‘action’ cameras are popular for two reasons. They can be mounted in an almost endless variety of ways on car hoods, bike handles, skateboards, rucksacks, shoulder harnesses and lots more. They’re also designed to withstand very fast movement so, unlike many other portable cameras, they are capable of recording things like extreme sports in crystal clear quality. 
 
You don’t need to empty your bank account quite yet because Go Pro cameras come in a wide variety of models. Some models can be bought for as little as £120. Other Go Pros retail for more than £380 and come with an array of sophisticated features like super time-lapse vision, HyperSmooth stabilisation and 1080p live streaming.

4. Metal Detector 

​Metal detectors have experienced a serious surge in popularity over the last five years. They’ve become cool gadgets and now everybody wants one. There’s something unmistakably relaxing about an afternoon spent metal detecting. It’s not really about finding valuables; it’s about getting outdoors and paying attention to things.  
 
These devices come in a range of different sizes and prices. If you want to make metal detecting a regular hobby, you might consider a more expensive product with an interchangeable coil and a large ID LCD meter. Or you could spend less on a midrange detector with a medium-sized waterproof coil and a non-slip adjustable neck.
 
If this is your first foray into metal detecting, we recommend a midrange product, at least to begin with. You’ll find some fantastic machines on the market for under £80. Some of our favourites come with universal headphone jacks so you can plug in and tune out the background noises. This can be very helpful when detecting in locations like the beach.

5. Solar Battery Charger 

Anybody who goes camping regularly or likes to embark on long hikes (particularly in rough terrain) should purchase a solar battery charger. If you know somebody who fits the above criteria, consider getting one for their kit bag. These clever gadgets can be lifesaving in emergencies.
 
They’re also very easy to use. Simply roll the foldable panels out and place them facing upwards in a sunny spot. While they can take a while (several hours in some cases) to fully charge, the idea is that once juiced, users rarely allow them to go flat.

​If you keep a solar battery charger in sunlight most of the time, it theoretically won’t ever run out of power no matter how far you are from civilisation. 
 
The more you pay for your solar charger, the more efficient it will be. If you’re looking for a wireless charger for your car or just to carry around in your pocket, a less expensive gadget will likely do the job.

​If you’re planning to take the charger out on overnight camping trips, it might be worth spending a little more for larger panels and a dual USB output for charging multiple phones or cameras.

6. LED Lighted Beanie Cap

​An LED lighted beanie cap is a wonderful gift for anybody who spends a lot of time in the garden. Even on long summer days, time can run away from you when you’re outside gardening, crafting or reorganising the shed. With a lighted beanie, the encroaching dark is never a problem. Keep one of these hats by the back door and there’ll always be a reliable light source to hand.
 
Our favourite products are the ones which come with a USB port for fast recharging. Yes, that’s right. You can really plug a beanie hat into your computer. It sounds peculiar but it’s actually a very useful feature. It turns a warm beanie into what is, essentially, a hands-free flashlight. Even with a USB port, these hats can be thrown in the washing machine without fear of breaking the light source or charging socket.
 
Ideally, you want an LED that can light up to thirty metres away at least. Some lights are detachable. Others are part of the beanie and cannot be removed. The important things to remember when shopping are comfort and efficiency. Is the head-light going to last for the duration of whatever outdoor activity you’re doing? Is the beanie comfortable to wear?

7. Emergency Go Bag Survival Kit 

​Not everybody needs an emergency go bag or an outdoor survival kit. For some people though, they should be considered essential. If you or somebody that you know regularly vanishes into the wild on days long adventures, an emergency go bag survival kit is an affordable way to protect yourself.
 
It’s not one of the coolest outdoor gadgets around, but it is one of the most valuable. The typical emergency go bag contains a foil blanket, rescue whistle, flashlight, fire starting tool, folding saw, compass and a bracelet which turns into a climbing rope. Some other kits substitute the saw for a small axe. Larger bags may also include medical equipment.   
 
The point of an emergency go bag is to ensure hikers, climbers, mountain bikers and other wilderness seekers carry the tools needed to save their lives. Whether you get caught in a storm, stuck on a mountain or injured in the forest, your chances of making it home in one piece are significantly higher when carrying one of these kits.

8. Camera Drone

​Now to a product that consistently ranks among the cool gadgets and gizmos. Remote controlled camera drones are everywhere at the moment. They’re not just fun to fly around the backyard, they’re great for shooting adrenaline-pumping action footage. For instance, lots of mountain bikers use camera drones to capture jumps and other aerial stunts.
 
Yet, you don’t need to be a stunt biker to appreciate the magic of drone technology. Other people use these cameras for capturing majestic, sweeping shots of their favourite landscapes. Shooting directly from the air provides a unique perspective that it’s almost impossible to replicate in any other way.
 
If you’re thinking about buying a drone as a gift or a treat for yourself, spend time browsing the market. Don’t jump into a purchase too quickly, because there are so many different devices out there. For those who’ve never flown a camera drone before, it’s probably best to start with a less expensive product. That way, you can get used to flying via remote control and, if you do crash, you’re not going to ruin a £200 machine.

9. Multi-Function Axe Tool

​Here’s another handy tool for the passionate outdoorsman. Multi-function axe tools are compact chopping devices designed to slip neatly into a rucksack, climbing harness or camping bag. They’re noticeably smaller than a standard two-handed axe. They’re also different because the axe heads on these tools serve multiple functions.      
 
Most have an axe blade on one side and a small hammer head on the other side. The very best axe tools come with a folding knife and screwdriver as well. The mini knife swings out from the handle like it does on a Swiss army knife. With hammering, chopping and cutting capabilities, there’s little you can’t do – even out in the wild – with one of these gadgets.

10. Camping Hammock 

​They say you never go back to camping on the ground after you spend a night in a properly designed hammock. They’re certainly a lot more sophisticated than they were twenty years ago. Don’t be put off by images of palm trees and cocktails; modern camping hammocks are tough and can tolerate a great deal of wear and tear.
 
They also come with additional features such as mosquito nets and rain shelters. We love camping hammocks which zip closed all the way around. You want a nice, breathable fabric for comfort while sleeping, but you also want to shut out any bugs, critters, leaves or debris that might disturb your slumber.
 
We recommend a parachute style camping hammock with a mesh or cover which fastens all the way around. That way, there’s no chance anything can crawl inside overnight. These hammocks tend to be very lightweight and easy to carry. The high strength nylon is exceptionally tough but it’s thin and doesn’t weigh much. It’s great at moisture wicking and drying fast in damp climates.

11. Handheld GPS Unit

You’ve got a satnav for the family car. Did you know you can get GPS for your legs as well? It’s not quite as silly as we’ve made it sound. Handheld GPS units have been available for some time and are commonly used by hikers and orienteers. They work in much the same way as the vehicular GPS systems we’re all used to. The only difference is they map established hiking trails, campsites and rural landmarks rather than highways.
 
We recommend a handheld GPS unit if you’re buying a gift for somebody who loves orienteering. Most are fully compatible with GPX files and users can download their geocaching data from a computer directly to the unit.
 
Even if your outdoor adventures are more relaxing than hair raising, it’s worth picking up a handheld GPS unit with waterproofing features. If your device is waterproofed, it’s probably dirt and dust resistant too. You might not plan to wade through any country streams, but outdoor trips and falls can still damage less sturdy handheld equipment.

12. Kelly Kettle 

​The term ‘kelly kettle’ is a catch-all for a specific type of camping kettle originating from the 1800s. There are many different brands of kelly kettle. Each is shaped a little differently, but all share the same characteristic feature. Kelly kettles include a tall container for holding the water. This sits directly above a hollow base where a small fire can be started.
 
The user starts a fire in the base, then places the metal water container on top. The metal walls heat up quickly due to the fire. This heats the water and, voila, you have a full container of boiled (and bacteria free) water.
 
If you’re wondering why a person wouldn’t just use a gas stove, think about all the circumstances in which this wouldn’t be possible. Then, consider how convenient it is to transport spare gas canisters with you. Kelly kettles don’t need gas. They won’t ever run out of fuel or power. If there are twigs nearby, you’ve got hot water. That’s why these outdoor gadgets are among our favourite camping products.

13. Motion Sensor Camera

​Motion sensor cameras are having a moment right now. Since the introduction of doorbell cameras, there’s been a huge surge in demand for motion sensor devices that can be used as home surveillance. It’s not their only function of course. Before homeowners saw their benefits for security, they were a common part of hunting kits.
 
There are some very high-quality wildlife cameras on the market. The majority are motion sensor-controlled to allow for covert filming. You may not be out hunting deer. Perhaps you just want to get a look at their nocturnal activities. In any case, you’ll need a covert filming device like a motion sensor camera to capture notoriously skittish animals.
 
Some essential features include waterproofing – your camera will be left outdoors for prolonged periods – a fast trigger speed, an infrared sensor for detecting movement in the dark and full HD capabilities (if possible). Ideally, the trigger speed of the central PIR sensor should be 0.4 seconds or less.

14. Digital Weather Station

There are countless ways to use a digital weather station and as many good reasons to purchase one. Weather stations are valuable garden gadgets due to their ability to produce large amounts of detailed meteorological data.

​This benefits people in different ways. For anybody with a high maintenance garden, precise information on humidity and outdoor temperatures can mean the difference between planting at the right and wrong times.
 
On the other hand, you don’t need to be looking for detailed insights to find a digital weather station useful. Many homeowners buy them to get regular weather updates as, being very sensitive, they’re capable of providing meteorological readings that are local to your neighbourhood, street and garden in some cases.

15. Umbrella Hat

Now to what is, arguably, the least cool of all the gadgets on our countdown. However, it’s such a classic, we couldn’t help ourselves. When we say, ‘umbrella hat,’ you probably know exactly what we’re referencing.

​These quirky hats have appeared in more comedy movies than we can count. You may scoff, but they do the job. If you want to stay bone dry while keeping your hands free for tasks, you could do far worse than an umbrella hat.
 
They happen to be very affordable too. You can pick these rain hats up for a few dollars in outdoor stores. We found our umbrella hats most helpful when trying to light a fire on a camping trip. Not only were we free to use our hands, wearing the umbrella hat aided our efforts to keep the flames safe from a deluge.

16. Outdoor Pizza Oven 

​Outdoor pizza ovens get our vote because they can turn simple backyard cookouts into something really special. We all envy the perfect pizza bases we get at our favourite Italian restaurants. They’re almost always stone baked over an open flame which is not normally possible in a standard kitchen oven.
 
It is why passionate foodies love outdoor pizza ovens. They can be pricey, but there’s no substitute for the taste. Traditional pizza ovens use wood as fuel. However, many modern devices now come with gas compatibility as well. It’s not always convenient to be chopping wood for a fire. Sometimes, you just want to gas your pizza oven up and cook a quick late night snack. 
 
If you’re thinking about buying an outdoor oven, we recommend a gas-powered machine for this reason. Or, if you can afford to spend a little more, get one that can do both. Some premium ovens use wood for fuel, but they can be fitted with a detachable gas burner.

17. Emergency Hand Crank Generator

​Hand crank generators have been around for a long time, but they continue to be one of the cleverest outdoor gadgets on the market. With one of these boxes, you can produce electric energy from nothing but manual force. You don’t need a fire or any kind of fancy internal mechanism. This is old technology, but it works because it’s based on reliable science.
 
When you turn or rock the handle (different generators work in different ways), the kinetic energy produced by your moving muscles gets turned into electrical energy. The faster you turn, the more electric you get. When the crank generator is fully juiced, you can then plug electrical devices into its sockets.     
 
It’s common for hand crank generators to come with integrated radios that can support communication and navigation efforts when a person is stranded outdoors. They’re very lightweight so they can be easily carried in a regular hiking bag. No matter how far you walk or bike from the nearest town, you’ll always have the ability to create power for your smartphones, rechargeable flashlights, GPS units and other gadgets.

​18. Outside Hidden Spy Camera

​There are many reasons why a homeowner might purchase a covert outdoor hidden spy camera. The most obvious is for home surveillance. Not everybody likes the aesthetic of larger, bulkier CCTV recording equipment. Full-sized cameras can make a property look intimidating in some cases and even cause disputes with neighbours.
 
The benefits of a hidden spy camera are discretion, ease of use and affordability. Most are compact enough to be placed (not necessarily installed) on a windowsill, shelf or another flat surface. They can also be clipped to the tops of fences, birdboxes and even your pet cat’s collar. Surveillance has never been so inconspicuous.

For those women who love gardening, the magnificent nature of green spaces has always been abundantly clear. Today, as the world waits indoors for society to restart, few things feel as special as having a garden. It’s no surprise sales of gardening equipment and vegetable growing supplies have soared during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Gardening can be relaxing, entertaining and deeply inspiring. In this turbulent world, it is a privilege. So, treat the one you treasure to a green-fingered gift.

​There are some superb gardening themed products on the market right now for women of all ages. From skin care hampers for peppy planters to hedgehog houses for wildlife watchers, read our gift guide to find the perfect product.

1. Ladies Gardening Gloves Gift Box

No ‘Queen of the Garden’ is complete without her trusty set of gardening gloves. Whether pruning, planting or picking up yard debris, a pair of thick and flexible gloves is needed for protection.

While it’s true you can get throwaway gloves from almost any supermarket, spending a little more guarantees you a quality pair that will stand the test of time. With a Ladies Gardening Gloves Gift Box, you don’t just get tough gloves made from sturdy leather or canvas, there are other treats too.

​Many of these gift boxes come with everyday gardening tools such as plant clips, peat pots, netting, seed labels and more. It’s a gift that shows you care about the gardener in your life.

2. Gardeners Skin care Hamper

Skin care hampers are very popular gardening gifts right now. If the woman in your life is sowing and growing a little more these days, she’ll be washing her hands a lot more.

​As we know, extensive hand washing can wreak havoc with the skin. Add to this the risk of prickly thorns, harsh garden chemicals and intensive mowing and you’ve got a recipe for cracked, flaky skin.    
​
So, give her the gift of beautiful skin with a Gardeners Skin care Hamper. There are many different types available. We especially like the botanical skin care sets that are themed to evoke wild spaces. Plants like jojoba, jasmine and sweet orange are blended to create intoxicating lotions that rehydrate rough skin.

3. Floral Watering Can

Gardeners can be sentimental creatures. For many, the tools on their workbenches and in their sheds are so much more than tools. Some have been handed down through the generations.

Others are treasured gifts. The point is, a high-quality gardening gift is likely to enrich your favourite lady’s life for a long time. For example, consider a Floral Watering Can for your next gift. Sure, watering cans do a simple job, but there are some wonderfully artistic versions out there.

​ The various copper, pewter and tin pitchers available are the perfect shabby chic accessory for gardeners who love vintage aesthetics. Look for one with a large capacity that is still lightweight enough to carry about the yard.

4. Composting Roller

If your gardening gifts for her are, ideally, very practical, a compost roller might be a good option. These composting devices can be quite expensive, but they’re also designed for long term use over many years.

This is no pretty trinket. It’s a special tool to help the eco-friendly gardener in your life increase their green credentials. The way it works is simple. The composting container hangs on a sturdy frame that’s raised off the ground.

​With a handle or crank lever, the user manually rotates (or ‘tumbles’) the container on its frame to aerate the materials and encourage faster decomposition. It’s designed to be easier than taking a stick and ‘stirring’ the inside of a compost bin. Some of the best compost rollers also have a container for collecting liquid fertiliser tea.

​
Trugs tend to be much bigger and broader than modern gardening baskets. It makes them perfect for harvesting fruits and vegetables. You can sling a trug basket on one arm and harvest a garden’s worth of produce in a single trip. Many of our favourite trugs are hessian lined to ensure your veggies and flowers have a safe trip to the house.

For older gardeners especially, it’s important to minimise time spent bending and kneeling while sowing and planting. The best way to do this is to use a Gardeners Potting Table.

Available in a wide variety of designs and sizes, outdoor potting tables provide a dedicated upright space for manual tasks like potting, watering, feeding and labelling. Many of these products (though not all) come with a one-wheeled edge.

​Being made of lightweight wood – pine, fir wood, acacia, etc – they can be easily lifted and wheeled to important areas of the yard. It enables a gardener to work more efficiently. Rather than carrying sowing supplies across the yard, they can pot on the patio or move their whole workstation close to flowerbeds.

They come in very handy for sowing, pruning or fertilising flower beds. The best gardening kneeling pads have memory foam cushions to provide a springy, supportive surface for the knees and thighs.

​The product you choose should have waterproofing features because, even in good weather, there’s plenty of moisture in the ground. Ideally, it should also have a removable cover so you can keep it dirt and stain free.

8. Weed Puller

Weed Pullers are another practical gift for older gardeners though they can be useful for growers and planters of all ages. These long devices with a handle at one end and an intimidating looking spike on the other end get directly pushed into the ground.

The user pushes, twists and pulls the device back out to remove a weed from the soil. This can all be done without bending or kneeling because weed pullers are long enough to operate while standing.

​You’ve just got to make sure you centre the spiked end right over weeds to grab and yank them out. It’s a straightforward tool, but it substantially speeds up summer weeding sessions in the back yard.

The compost tumbler is a simple gadget but it can transform a man’s efforts in the garden. Tumblers make composting easier and more efficient by providing an enclosed, rotating barrel for organic materials to break down in.

Think of it like a large composting bin but, instead of agitating the contents with a fork, you can just turn a handle and let the materials tumble and aerate with no dirt, mess or smells.  

For gardeners who are serious about composting, these gadgets are a valuable tool. They benefit all types of gardeners but are particularly useful for those with mobility problems that prevent them from manually aerating their mulch.

​Plus, there’s the perk of having perfect quality compost. As every rotation is consistent, the organic materials get aerated at an optimum rate and produce the richest, most nourishing compost.

6. Thermal Weeder

​Thermal weeders are great gardening gadgets because they look cool, they’re fun to use and they produce impressive results. If the gardener in your life is sick of hand weeding, treat them to a bit of luxury with an electronic device that shocks unwanted visitors right out of the ground.

The thermal unit heats up in seconds and ‘zaps’ weeds at a cellular level to ensure they don’t return to a meticulously tended garden. 

Our favourite thing about the thermal weeder is it doesn’t use chemicals. If you have one of these devices, you don’t need to use weed killers or other products that might damage the environment.

​It’s wonderful news for the bees, butterflies and other insects that kindly pollinate your garden’s flowers.

7. Funny Gardening Sign

Now for something a bit more frivolous, because gardening isn’t always a serious affair. If you can’t have fun in your outdoor space, why put so much hard work into making it feel like a sanctuary.

Great gardening gifts for him might include funny gardening signs that encourage him to showcase his personality and put his unique stamp on the yard. 

Funny gardening signs come in many shapes and sizes. There are gardening puns, naughty gardening slogans, silly gardening jokes and a whole bunch of other delightfully cheeky options.

​Just make sure your recipient installs your gift in pride of place out in the yard or vegetable patch. This is a cheerful sign to say ‘welcome to my garden, I weed hard and water harder.’

8. Grow Your Own Hot Chillies Kit

For brave gardeners, you might consider a Grow Your Own Hot Chillies Kit. Not only does a recipient get to learn how to raise chillies, they also get a fun and unique tasting experience once they do.

​Just be careful who you give this gift to. They might insist you sample their beautiful homegrown chillies on your next visit. 

DIY kits like this are ideal presents for both chilli lovers and gardeners who are curious about growing and trying new foods. Chillies are remarkably easy to grow, so you don’t need much experience or physical space to produce a good harvest.

​The typical kit contains hot chilli seeds, growing pots, plant markers, compost or peat discs and detailed instructions.

9. Motorised Garden Multi Tool

Motorised garden multi tools are highly practical and particularly useful to those with large gardens who work on landscaping all year round. The typical multi tool combines strimmer, hedge cutter and tree pruner attachments to make heavy duty maintenance work as safe and efficient as possible.

By combining three separate cutting tools in one, eager gardeners can save time and enjoy more consistent, even results. 

These multi tools are sometimes a good choice for gardeners with low mobility. They make it easy to cut and prune trees from the ground, thereby reducing the need for ladders.

​However, they still require a reasonable amount of upper body strength. The user must be capable of lifting and controlling a cutting attachment mounted on a 2.30 metres pole (average).

10. Gardeners Seed Tin 

​If you’re looking for a modest but personal gift for father’s day, you could buy your dad a gardeners seed tin. These dinky little boxes are designed to store seed packets, plant labels, twine and other planting supplies. They can be tucked safely away in an indoor cupboard or stored in a shed or on a gardeners bench. 

Gardeners seed tins come in a wide variety of shapes and styles, so it should be easy to find one to match your giftee’s personality. If durability is a priority, opt for one of the many stylish tins made from heavy gauge steel. The material will weather exceptionally well.


​Your tin shouldn’t be left out in the rain but, if it does get wet, it shouldn’t rust or corrode. Look for easy grip clips or fasteners to prevent unnecessary fumbling when trying to use the container.

11. Elbow Length Gardening Gloves

​Is there anything more stylish than a pair of elbow length gardening gloves made from soft leather? We bet your favourite gardener approves.

Elbow length gloves are very valuable outdoors because their thick ‘gauntlet’ arm coverings protect the wearer from thorns, spikes, gravel and abrasive surfaces. If you want to do any type of heavy duty pruning with efficiency, you need thick gloves to ensure safe handling. 
​
Gardening gloves can be bought for very cheap, but it’s worth spending a little more for authentically durable materials. Goatskin, for example, is extremely scratch resistant and difficult to pierce with spikes or tools.

​At the same time, it’s a lot more breathable than something like calfskin and allows cool air to reach the fingers. Vegans should opt for an artificial material that mimics these qualities.

12. Mini Polytunnel 

If you know somebody who has attempted to grow tomatoes or chillies and repeatedly failed, you might be able to help by providing a change of apparatus.

There are lots of DIY gadgets designed to help gardeners ‘hack’ unsuitable outdoor spaces and turn them into green machines. The mini polytunnel, for instance, is a tubular PVC tent that is used to house vulnerable seedlings that need protection from the elements.

Polytunnels are transparent so gardeners can keep an eye on their plants’ growth without introducing cold and moisture. Zipped sections give easy access when it’s time for watering, pruning and harvesting.

​The important thing about polytunnels is they enable the growth of plants and vegetables that, ordinarily, can only be grown indoors in warm spaces such as tomatoes and tropical flowers.

13. Cordless Hand Shears

Some gardeners prefer to keep it simple. Others are thrilled by gadgets. If your giftee is the latter, they may be delighted by cordless hand shears.

They’re significantly smaller, lighter and easier to handle than full sized electric shears, so they’re not designed for heavy duty yard work.

However, cordless hand shears are ideal for edging and trimming low shrubs. 
They’re particularly useful in small, carefully manicured gardens with paths and borders. With cordless shears, it takes mere minutes to run the blade along the overgrown grass and get borders looking tidy again.


​Buying a cordless gadget means you don’t need to worry about tripping on wires, snagging cables or running out of line. It’s definitely a handy feature but we’d still recommend using hand shears in small spaces and standard shears in larger gardens.

14. Folding Gardening Knife

​Chefs and gardeners are two groups of people naturally drawn to high quality knives. Just as chefs need the sharpest possible blades to ensure precision, gardeners also benefit from beautifully crafted blades.

There are endless uses for a folding knife outdoors, everything from snipping twine to pruning flower beds, shortening strimmer cords, taking cuttings and more. 

It’s handy to have a gardening knife close by as it’s often much quicker to cut than pick up shears. Knives offer more precision so they can cut more carefully around things like ripe vegetables and delicate seedlings.

​They also look great. There are some exquisite looking gardening knives on the market with stained wood handles and gently curved blades.

15. Wheeled Gardening Seat 

Some older gardeners may find their mobility levels decline while their love for gardening continues to grow. To combat this, there are lots of clever gardening gadgets and aids such as wheeled gardening seats.

These mobile seats aren’t exclusively for older people, some gardeners never feel comfortable kneeling to prune or sow, but they’re particularly kind on joints as they reduce the need to kneel and bend for long periods.  

​What’s more, you can buy a wheeled gardening seat that doubles up as a mobile storage container. It’s common for these gadgets to have a storage area under the seat for carrying seed packets, gloves, gardening tools and other supplies.

If you know somebody who spends long hours tending to flowerbeds, this could be a helpful gift.

16. Gardening Tool Set

For those struggling to find great gardening gifts for him, there’s always the classic gardening tool set. Maybe your dad already has one but it’s looking a little worse for wear or perhaps it’s his first foray into the world of backyard landscaping.

It’s a winner of a gift in any case. Just make sure to pick a set with all the basics (at a minimum). Your gardening tool set should contain at least a hand trowel, hand weeder, hand cultivator, hand rake and hand transplanter.

​To further increase your gift’s appeal, look for a set with a sturdy pair of secateurs as they’re the quickest, neatest way to cut thick plant stems. The handles need to be soft but also easy to grip, so a material like rubber or thermoplastic is best.

17. Cupboard Cold Frame

​The cupboard cold frame - also known as an outdoor grow house - is a more sophisticated version of the mini polytunnel. Yet, it’s still easier to install, more affordable and less high maintenance than a standard greenhouse.

When a greenhouse is much too big and a polytunnel isn’t big enough, you can upgrade to a covered, ventilated growing container.   
It’s essentially a freestanding cupboard that houses any delicate plants and vegetables that cannot tolerate cold weather.

​As there’s more heat and better temperature control inside a cupboard cold frame, gardeners have the freedom to try species that prefer warmer weather and require robust frost and wind protection. It’s a great place to raise seedlings until they can withstand exposure to the elements.

18. Bonsai Starter Kit
This year, you could give the old man in your life the gift of a brand new skill or experience.

​Even veteran gardeners haven’t seen it all. The beauty of gifting a bonsai starter kit, for example, is most people have never tried to grow one. They might not know it’s possible, so what a surprise to receive a DIY kit with Bonsai seeds, growing pots, plant markers, nutrient enriched soil and miniature clippers.

These itty bitty Bonsai trees look stunning if grown successfully and they can last for many, many decades. This is the type of gardening gift that costs little but could, realistically, end up passed down through generations.

It’s a treat best left for patient personalities though. It can take years for mini Bonsai trees to grow to a mature size.

19. Gardening Tool Belt

All gardeners are different with their own unique habits and ways of working. Some like the security of carrying their tools in a metal box or canister.

Others prefer to operate hands free and store their gadgets and supplies in a belt. There are lots of high quality, weatherproof gardening belts to choose from. They use soft leather or canvas to provide flexibility while protecting against scratches, pricks and stains. 

Gardening belts are recommended when working around electronic tools or cutting devices because it’s much safer to leave the hands free and unobstructed.

​If your gardening friend or relative does lots of kneeling and bending, make sure you give them a flexibly designed belt with segmented pockets. The pockets must be deep enough to hold any sharp tools securely and the material tough enough to do so without putting the moving gardener at risk.

20. Robotic Lawn Mower

Robotic lawn mowers are expensive gifts but they’re guaranteed to delight passionate gardeners with an eye for gadgets. They’re every bit as cool as they sound. Robotic lawn mowers can turn themselves on and trim the grass exactly when needed if you programme them with the right set of instructions. 
 
Some of the more sophisticated models are ‘smart’ devices that can search online weather reports for conditions you’ve programmed as suitable for mowing. When a day matches up to your requirements, they automatically activate and complete the mowing with no intervention.

They even know how to get back to their designated storage area. Robotic mowers are undoubtedly one of the best gardening gadgets on the market right now.      

When looking for the perfect gardening gift for father’s day, consider the simple changes that could improve your giftee’s experiences of their garden. Many of the best gardening gifts are simple and fulfil straightforward needs.

​They don’t take away the work from tending to green things - it’s definitely part of the reward for most - they just help gardeners spend more time growing more beautiful things.

21. Gardening month by month

​The RHS Gardening month by month breaks down gardening tasks into the months of the gardening calendar.

22. Seed sack

There is no gardener out there that does not enjoy the process of sowing seeds. Growing plants from seeds is not only exciting it is also economical.

If gardeners are prepared to take the time and care seed growing can produce numerous plants at a fraction of the cost.
 
This seed sack is full with 30 different types of vegetable seeds including some weird and wonderful varieties.


From Romenesco Cauliflower to Rainbow chard and hot chillies this gardening gift has something for everyone. If the gardening man in your life loves growing vegetables he will love this seed sack gift.

This is perfect for hanging over a tool shed, vegetable border or patio. This slate sign comes with hanging string and has two lines with space for up to 30 characters.

This makes a great gardening gift for him with that little personal touch.

24. Garden Greenhouse

Gardening is all about growing plants to their best within the constraints of the gardening season. This is a skill as late frosts and weather conditions can ruin a gardener’s hard work.

What better way to select a gardening gift than acquiring one which can prevent this. Greenhouses allow gardeners to not only protect plants but provide perfect growing conditions at the same time.
 
Typically greenhouses are large industrial structures for commercial use. This garden greenhouse however is the perfect size for most gardens.

Being versatile and easy to put together it will also mean the male gardeners you love can grow exotic plants during the summer. This growing space is a great way to treat the gardeners in your life whatever the occasion.

25. Bosch garden shredder

Gardening is not all sunshine and flowers! Most of the time behind a beautifully manicure garden is months and even years of hard work. It is these gruelling maintenance regimes which carry on throughout the year which make a beautiful garden in summer.

Much hard work such as pruning and clearing is done in all weathers and at the coldest part of the season. One of the best ways to show a gardener you care about them is to provide them with the tools to make this process easier.
 
This Bosch garden shredder turns the most hard and awkward of garden materials into fine, compostable chippings. With its portable wheels and powerful blades it can shred garden waste in any location.

This makes the perfect gardening gift for men during those big garden clear ups at the end of the year.

19 Gardening Gifts for Under £45.00

Gardening gifts under £45
This article contains affiliate links


The great thing about buying gardening gifts and gadgets is it’s difficult to run out of good ideas. It’s not all novelty gnomes, hanging baskets and ‘grow your own’ kits. There are products out there to suit every personality including bird watchers, lawn lovers, cookout connoisseurs, flower fans, nature nurturers and more.


With such a wealth of gardening gifts to choose from, you can expect prices to vary wildly depending on what it is you’re shopping for. For budget hunters, there are plenty of inexpensive products such as backyard games, planting tools, seed tins, almanacs, barbecuing gadgets and nature feeders. If you’re splashing the cash, there’s no shortage of fancy electronics to mow, blow, saw and trim an unruly garden into submission.


Today, we’re focusing on gifts for gardeners which have the power to impress without emptying your wallet. We’ll take a look at some bargain products that can be picked up for less than a tenner and some pricier, midrange items too. The important thing is all of the featured products can be bought for less than £45.

​

1. Folding Pruning Saw

The traditional garden saw has a pretty clever design. It can’t really be improved except for when it comes to size. Full-size saws can be cumbersome and awkward to carry around particularly if you’ve got a wild and sprawling outdoor space.

​The folding pruning saw deals with this problem by keeping the classic design but adding a mechanism which enables a smaller, more compact blade to be folded inward.

This makes it lighter, safer to carry and compatible with toolboxes and gardening aprons in a way a full-size saw cannot be. While folding saws certainly aren’t as powerful as traditional saws - they can’t cut through thick tree branches – they’re ideal for eliminating younger branches, thorns, shrubs and weeds.

2. Herb Garden Growing Kit

​Growing kits may not enthral an experienced gardener but there’s nothing better for encouraging a rookie. DIY herb growing kits are a fantastic way to start growing because they’re very low maintenance. Everything you need is included in the kit from peat plugs to markers, labels, planter trays, pots and a variety of herbs such as basil, coriander, chives, parsley, mint and thyme. 
 
Another big benefit of herb growing kits is they can be started indoors and moved outside later. Plus, you get to eat them afterwards. Is there any better reward for all that careful nourishing and nurturing; we don’t think so. While DIY herb growing kits come in a range of sizes and prices, they’re an inexpensive way to give a gift that lasts.

Most kits come with plant pots or a planter tray, peat growing plugs and seeds like basil, coriander, chives and parsley. You normally get markers and labels too so you can easily distinguish your seedlings even before they sprout.

​This is important because, often, herbs have slightly different watering requirements. For a beginner gardener, we think these affordable kits are a valuable introduction to planting and growing.

3. Bee Friendly Seed Balls

 
Bee-friendly seed balls are a relatively new concept, but they can make a difference to the welfare of wildlife in a garden. They’re also one of the quickest and easiest ways to grow wildflowers.

All you need to do is scatter the seed balls on top of soil in a garden or inside a pot. Then, just add water and wait for a serious burst of beautiful blooms to appear in their place and start attracting wild bees.  
 
The idea here is both the user and the wildlife benefits. The recipient of your thoughtful gardening gift gets to plant vibrant flowering species like foxglove, wild marjoram, corn marigold and chamomile.

​At the same time, they get to lend a hand to struggling bees by ensuring there’s plenty of to feed on. They’re one of our favourite garden gifts for this very reason; they make it effortless to help the native species in your backyard.

4. Gardeners Hand Cream Set

If you’re looking for a gift that’s inexpensive but still feels fancy, you might consider a gardener’s hand cream set.

These cosmetics sets don’t cost much, but they can be just the type of gift a passionate gardener doesn’t know they need; that is until they get one and realise that they can’t live without it.

When you’re working outdoors in the soil and changing weather conditions, skin can dry out quickly. The best hand cream sets are, therefore, nourishing and designed to replenish the moisture lost after prolonged periods of outdoor work.

​Effective ingredients include jojoba, aloe vera and chamomile. If you want your gift to be impressively practical, shop for hand cream ‘minis’ which slot neatly into a favourite apron

5. Germination Propagator

Germination propagators are superb garden gadgets because they can make indoor so growing easy. Whether your gift is for an amateur gardener or an experienced grower with less time on their hands, it’s a smart way to speed up the germination process and get fully grown plants faster without extra work. Germination propagators work by delivering a controlled source of heat as part of their pot or tray.


The tray gets placed on a windowsill to be watered and tended to like any other plant. The difference is the user can grow a much broader range of species and, in particular, plants which only thrive in warm temperatures. Some plug in propagators also come with self-watering functions to make raising seeds to maturity even easier.

6. Stainless Steel Hand Trowel Gift Set

Hand tools always make wonderful gifts for gardeners because, if you’re a keen outdoor grower, sower or planter, you can never have too many tools.

​We recommend tools made from stainless steel because the material is lightweight, but it has an impressive degree of durability. It makes these tools easy to carry and you don’t need to worry about the metal warping or folding at the first sign of stubborn weeds.


If you’re looking to save cash, a three-piece hand trowel gift set is an inexpensive option. These gift sets often come with two different types of trowel and another complementary garden tool such as a compact hand fork.

​Don’t forget to consider the quality of the handles when shopping; they should be tough and weatherproof without feeling rough or uncomfortably thick in the palm.

​

7. Garden Weed Puller

We all know a gardener who wages war on weeds. So, for the friend or loved one with a serious vendetta, pick up a weed puller.

These nifty garden gadgets don’t cost much and they’re available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Some weed pullers are compact and designed for use in close quarters. They require the user to get up close and personal to wrangle out unwanted plants. 
 
For older gardeners or anybody with impaired mobility, it’s better to pick out a full-sized mechanical weed puller. They cost a little more, but they can be used without stooping or bending.

​There’s a handle at the top of a long pole which is used to pluck weeds from the ground once the puller has been correctly positioned over them.

8. Cut Resistant Sleeves

We’re excited to talk about cut-resistant sleeves because, even though they’re not really a new product, lots of gardeners are unaware of them. For under £20, you can buy long gloves with fabric which stretches right up to the elbow.

This fabric is made of a substance called ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. Surprise, surprise, it’s extremely strong. It’s often referred to as ‘the world’s strongest fibre.’


So, these cut-resistant sleeves are a lot more than just ordinary gardening gloves. They’re ideal for use in heavy sawing, chopping or pruning scenarios. No matter the type of blade being used, the fibres are strong enough to repel any cuts or slices.

​Clumsy (or fast-paced) gardeners should own a pair of these sleeves to ensure their arms are fully protected in all situations. It’s not just blades which pose a danger; stones, glass particles and other types of debris can also cause injuries to bare arms.

​

9. Gardening Apron

The gardening apron is a more traditional gift but certainly no less valuable than the other fancier garden gadgets. There’s a lot of variety to choose from too; it’s the type of gift you could match to your recipient’s personality.

There are gardening aprons with vibrant flowery fronts, others with comical slogans and some which prioritise utility with lots of pockets and multiple straps. The gardening apron you choose will depend on your reasons for giving it as a gift in the first place. 
 
Are you trying to make somebody smile by showing them you recognise their passion for outdoor work? Or is this a practical gift you’re hoping will streamline their routines and make gardening easier?

​From a practical perspective, we think the design of the apron is less important than the fact it needs a tough, rugged outer material. Canvas is a top choice for its durability and capacity to withstand rain, dirt and jagged surfaces.

​

10. Gardening throughout the Year

 Sometimes, the best gifts for gardeners are not made to be used outside at all. The Royal Horticultural Society’s ‘Gardening Throughout the Year’ by Ian Spence is one of the most popular gardening almanacs available.

​The guide was updated in 2018, so it contains plenty of up to date information on plant care, landscaping projects, lawn maintenance, taking care of backyard ponds, identifying flowering species and lots more.
 
As this particular book is designed with beginner gardeners in mind, it includes ‘to do list’ templates, season by season walkthroughs, seasonal pruning advice and a detailed photographic encyclopaedia featuring nearly 350 species. Not only does it make a fabulous coffee table book, but it’s also a handy resource for anybody curious about the flora and fauna in their own garden.  

​

11. Gardening Mug

When you’re struggling for gift ideas, a gardening mug is an inexpensive choice with a lot of scope. Just like aprons, the level of variety is almost endless.

You could go for something comical with a funny or naughty slogan. Or you could pick out something cool or elegant that you feel matches your recipient’s personality. In any case, mugs are something we all need and have a use for, and this makes them a classic gift.
 
If you want to put some real thought into your purchase, we recommend opting for a broad-based mug. Ideally, it should be sturdy enough to stand upright on any surface.

This allows the user to take it outside with them during long planting or pruning sessions. Alternatively, shop for a mug with an insulated flask-type interior that keeps liquids hot or cold for longer.  

​

12. Bee Hotel

​We’ve already mentioned how much we love products that can benefit both gardener and garden wildlife. Bee hotels are a good example of this. Like bird or bat boxes, they are constructed in a special manner to make them extra appealing to solitary bees. Inside the ‘hotel’ are rows and rows of tightly coiled tubes that are perfect for sheltering and nesting. 
 
Bees will take refuge in the hotel provided it’s placed against a flat surface in a location protected from strong winds. The optimum position is with a southerly exposure, so the front of the hotel gets lots of warm, nourishing sunlight. The best thing about bee hotels is they require no intervention after installation. The user gets to watch wild bees set up residence and thrive without putting in any work.

​

13. Hedgehog Boot Brush

 
Hedgehog boot brushes are just the kind of quirky gift gardeners love. They can’t compete with futuristic garden gadgets like robotic mowers, but they rarely fail to raise a smile. Plus, they’re moderately priced and offer a real-world practical application. If you position a hedgehog boot brush by your front or back door, you’ll never have an excuse to track mud through the house again.
 
Some of these brushes are quirkier than others. You can purchase some which are, essentially, traditional boot brushes with cast iron frames in animal shapes. Or you could go for the full novelty choice and have a hedgehog shaped brush. It depends whether the user feels happy to wipe their feet on that cute hedgehog face.   

​

14. Leather Pruning Gloves

​All passionate gardeners need a pair of strong gloves to withstand thorns, jagged branches, sharp stones and cutting blades. Leather is by far the best choice for its durability, weather resistance and general ruggedness. Leather is difficult to cut through, so it provides excellent protection when working with secateurs, clippers and snipers.
 
It’s also resistant to thorns which are why lovers of rose plants tend to spend a lot of time in leather gloves. If you’re choosing a gift for a gardener who does intense, labour heavy maintenance, consider gloves that extend to the elbows. Or, at the very least, make sure shorter gloves have a tight fastening mechanism across the wrists.

15. Garden Kneeler

While garden kneelers are a superb accessory for the older gardener or anybody with joint problems, they shouldn’t be thought of as only a specialist product.

​Fully mobile gardeners can also benefit from extra support beneath the knees during long periods of raking, hoeing or planting. There’s no set up or work involved. The kneeler is placed on the ground and the gardener rests upon it instead of resting their knees on a wet, cold or dirty surface. 
 
These clever garden gadgets are among the most affordable; even larger kneelers with integrated arm frames rarely cost more than £18. To save cash, opt for a basic kneeling mat which is lightweight and easy to move. If you’re willing to spend more, you can get a combination kneeler and seat. Some even hide handy storage compartments beneath the seat rest. 

​

16. Gardening Secateurs Set

Secateurs are powerful hand tools designed for chopping moderately thick branches. They can’t chop through everything – they’re not quite the equivalent of full-size shears – but they are still impressive when used against shrubs, young branches and thick and thorny stems.

​The construction of secateurs means they deliver a lot of cutting power in exchange for a relatively small amount of hand strength.
 
In other words, they make pruning easy. With a sturdy pair of secateurs or a secateurs gift set, there’s no more wrangling with rose bushes. It’s chop, snip, lop and done.

​The added benefit of buying a gift set is they often come with gardening gloves or another compact hand tool. It’s an easy way to get more gift for your money and add another layer of practicality to your purchase.

17. Digital Soil Tester

​The more you know about your soil, the easier it is to nurture your garden’s plants correctly. It’s why many keen gardeners like to work with a digital soil tester. These small devices have a probe that can be inserted into the soil to test PH levels, sunlight exposure, moisture content and temperature.
 
For a modest price, you can get a lot of valuable information about growing conditions and their compatibility with various plant species. Not only will a digital soil tester tell its user whether a particular species is well suited to current soil conditions, but it also helps them to identify the nutrients required for ideal conditions.

18. Bonsai Growing Kit

​Give a different kind of gardening gift with a bonsai growing kit. The miniature ‘tree in a pot’ species is celebrated all around the world for its diminutive stature and measured stately growth.

​As bonsai trees grow for as long as regular-sized trees, they take an extremely long time to raise from seed to plant. In some instances, it takes five years before the tree is old enough for trimming and pruning. 
 
On the other hand, this ‘eternal’ nature is precisely what draws people to the bonsai tree. Growing a bonsai is an exercise in patience. It’s very different from growing other indoor plants because, if cared for correctly, its lifespan could be greater than your own. It makes bonsai growing kits a special type of gardening gift for a special type of person.

19. Gardener Seed Box Tin

We end our list of affordable gifts for gardeners with another favourite. While being a great gardener isn’t about having all the right equipment – many gardeners work wonders with minimal tools – accessories like gardener seed box tins, monogrammed gloves and other personalised items bring personality to the adventure.

It’s why we like the idea of having a seed box tin with reusable paper sleeves and other handy tools for labelling and sorting. It’s an appealing gift because it’s practical but enables passionate gardeners to customise their work. Plus, there is no more misplacing, mixing or mishandling seeds with a perfectly designed storage container.

17 Outdoor Angel Ornaments & Statues

Outdoor angel ornaments
This article contains affiliate links


Angels have been depicted in religious ornaments and statues for thousands of years. They almost always take a female form and are thought to be messengers and protectors. It has been believed that angels are beings which bridge the heavens and the human world.
​
Some believe angels have been sent to both guide us and protect us. It is also a held belief that angels can be direct messengers from god. It has always been interesting that angels seem to appear in many different religions. Some cultures also hold very solid belief in angel like beings such as fairies. This has led to some scholars speculating that angels and fairies could be similar entities.
Outdoor angel garden statue
Furthermore it could possibly be more than myths and legends. Celtic religious have a strong belief in fairies and in some countries today a similar belief is held. In Ireland for example a recent motorway project was redirected around a spiritual bush. It had been believed for hundreds of years that this bush was a home for fairies.
​
