It’s time for our Holiday Gift Guide for 2025. I know, I know, you were probably inundated with suggestions over the weekend, but we opted to refrain. Until now!
Truth is, it’s been a tough year here at Gardenerd, as it has been for many small businesses. When you shop small and local, you help keep us going for another year. In addition to these small business products below, you’ll find items from the Gardenerd Store that make great gifts for the gardenerd in your life. We hope you choose local and small this season.
Made in California, this is our favorite way to “deal with” gophers. It’s practically hands-free and it works well, over and over again. You can buy directly from the manufacturer or at many hardware stores. And shape-wise, it’s a perfect stocking stuffer, too.
This friend from high school not only creates the most beautiful hand-painted mandala art for your garden, she offers kits on how to do it yourself! These make a great gift. Follow her on IG or Facebook to find where you can shop in person for her painted stones and other garden decor. Or order a kit or a class on her website.
Another friend who makes yummy skin care products for lords and ladies. Need beard oil? Hands cracked from laboring in thy fields? She’s got you covered. Hand-made in Los Angeles, CA and sold primarily at Faires (or scroll down for her online store), you’ll find soaps, salves, balms, and even privy sprays in scents that please.
Our Ultimate Garden Bag is on sale now through Dec. 21st, 2025. Get this hand-made, locally crafted, hemp and low-impact dyed cotton garden bag to hold all your stuff. Hand trowels stay in these pockets because they’re deep enough to hold everything you throw in there. Take advantage of deep discounts at our liquidation sale before they are gone.
The perfect gift for the gardenerd who has everything (except plants and seeds, we never have enough of those). Use gift certificates for consultations (in person or on Zoom). You can’t get more personalized that that! Oh, except for this…
Give the gift of knowledge, or escape. High Yield Small Space Organic Gardening helps folks grow great vegetables. Grow Your Own Mini Fruit Garden guides people on growing fruit in small spaces. And Garden Variety, A novel is a great escape any time of year. Also, the sequel is coming out in 2026 (future gift potential). All can be autographed to with your recipient’s name to personalize each gift and make them more special.
So that’s our Holiday Gift Guide for 2025. Shop local, shop small. This helps our economy, and keeps businesses afloat during these tough times.
