I thought I would start a discussion about suggested gifts for we gardeners, items that we REALLY appreciated and use all of the time. Non gardening family always ask for your list and none of the things WE want are flying off of the shelves.
I have two suggested favorite gardening items:
1) Flexible rubber garden tote

Do your own search for different colors, I use this for moving EVERYTHING. I harvest, carry plants in small pots out for transplanting, I carry canning jars with produce to my basement pantry. I use this 12 months/year. It's flexibility makes it perfect to move things, and I have abused it, leaving it outside in the weather, but it hasn't damaged it.
2.) Garden seat/kneeler

DD (new gardener herself) bought this for me and it sat it the box for 2 years before I started to use it. I cannot tell you how often I have worked outside and sat on this thing. I asked for a 2nd one bc the canvas bags on the sides are wearing out. The old one will go to the basement to use for seed starting and other tasks.
I have also abused THIS, but it was the canvas that took the hit. No visible rust and still folds/unfolds.
