Gardening Gifts for Men

Kelly Spies
Buying gifts for male gardeners can be challenging at best. Men aren't into cute little gardening aprons and designer watering pots. If it isn't manly enough to show off their hunter - gatherer side they aren't likely to be too interested. So instead of buying the gardening man in your life a gift that is sure to be shoved in the corner of the garage try one of these handy gardening gift ideas.

Wireless Outdoor Speakers - If you gardening man enjoys music while working outside or relaxing in his hammock then why not give him a gift that lets him experience high quality sound from anywhere in his yard?

Wireless outdoor speakers come in all shapes and sizes - including the shape of rocks. Outdoor speakers should be weatherproof and rain resistant. Bose is obviously a top choice for purchasing outdoor speakers however retail stores like Circuit City and Linens & Things carry sets with up to a 150 foot range with the capabilities to be heard through walls.

Depending on the brand, you will pay anyway from $99 to a couple of thousand for a whole system.

Upside Down Tomato Garden - You can't help loving this unique vegetable growing system. The upside down tomato garden allows gardeners to grow up to 4 tomatoes, peppers and rosemary inside its pvc frame.

This little gem of a gardening gift for men will run you around $80 bucks and can be purchased at Montgomery Wards or online.

Personalized Fish Shaped Stepping Stones - What better way to tell your man you love him than with his own personalized stepping stones. Stepping stones can be personalized with sayings like, "The World's Greatest Dad," his name or any other quirky saying of your choosing.

This gardening gift for men can be with a mosaic kit purchased from Michael's Arts and Crafts stores.

Rolling Garden Cart - Now here's a gift the keeps on giving. With a rolling garden cart your gardener will no longer have to lug tools back and forth from the shed or garage. He can simply place his supplies in the car and roll it around the yard with him.

Rolling garden carts can be found just about anywhere, from Big Lots to Sears. They range in price from $34.99 to $75 depending on the brand and store you purchase it at.

Lawn Aerator Shoes - Talk about making things easier for the gardening man of the house. Now he can stomp his yard into the fine manicured lawn of his dreams.

The gardening sandals are equipped with long metal spikes on the bottom that are easily pushed into the ground with the wearer's body weight.

Lawn Aerator shoes can be purchased online at Yardiac dot com or Amazon for around $15 bucks a pair.

Pocket Chainsaw - This is a man's gardening gift if there ever was one. The Pocket Chainsaw is portable and compact enough to dangle from a belt loop but it's also powerful enough to cut through a branch 3 inches in diameter.

With the pocket chainsaw your man will be able to clear out tree roots, cut shrubbery, trim branches and even cut his toe nails. This cool little gadget sells for $19.99 at the pocket chainsaw dot com website.

Wearable Strap-on Gardening Stool - Why carry a stool around with you when you can wear it around your waist? The wearable gardening stool has a small plastic seat and soft nylon harness straps that allows your gardener to keep his hands free to be in the soil.

Treehuggers recommend the wearable gardening stool because of its ability to adjust to the height and weight of the wearer. You an get one online at clean air gardening for only $49.99.

    I'd be afraid he'd forget to take the Lawn Aerator Shoes off when he came in the house. Wow, perforated linoleum!
