There’s nothing worse than trying to find a gift for someone and not knowing what to get them.

To take the guesswork out of gift buying, we’ve found practical and helpful gifts for any occasion, sorted by theme to help find everything you are looking for.

Top 5 “Garden Tools” Gifts

1) All-Natural Insect Repellent
Keep mosquitoes and other pests at bay with organic insect repellent. It’s non-toxic and made with 15 natural oils like citronella, lemongrass, and castor, along with other natural ingredients to ward off insects without any DEET, parabens, or harsh chemicals. Spray it on before you head outside. It helps soothe bites and stings, too. Made in the USA.

2) Grow A Tree Kit
The Jonsteen Company: Grow A Tree Kit - Balsam Fir

3) Root Slayer Carbon Steel Knife
Chop and saw roots with a garden knife that is guaranteed to last a lifetime. It’s a new take on the traditional Japanese hori knife and is crafted from strong, but lightweight carbon steel. The blade is shaped like an inverted V and is lined with 12 rip-saw teeth on one side and a knife edge on the other. Together, they make quick work of the roots you might encounter while gardening. This tough tool is guaranteed to last a lifetime, too.

4) Murphy's Naturals Insect Repellent & Relief Balm
Toss a tin of insect repellent balm or bite relief balm into your bag or car for on-the-go protection from pests or to soothe existing bites. Just apply the repellent to exposed skin to keep mosquitos away. Rub the relief balm into a bite to ease the itch and burn. Made in the USA.

5) Window Herb Planter
This window herb garden lets you grow fresh ingredients in any space. The modern, clear planter adheres to a non-porous surface (like a window, tile, or mirror) without glue or suction cups, and can easily be repositioned. Integrated drain holes and catch basin create a complete urban gardening system.
