Nothing is worse than the hectic last-minute panic buying every year. There is still some opinion that retailers would reduce prices from mid-December as part of their Christmas promotions. In exceptional cases it may be the case that certain slow-moving items are sold off at bargain prices in order to empty the warehouse.
What are good gift ideas for gardening lovers this Christmas?
Three special gift ideas for garden lovers for Christmas are: 1. a hedgehog house made of larch wood for 76.00 euros, 2. the high-quality Arborist tree saw for 74.00 euros, and 3. the robust tomato house for high harvest yields for 169, 00 euros. All products are available at Manufactum.
But after all, a Christmas gift should be something special, something unique that you want to remember for a long time and, above all, in the best possible way. Therefore, for the first part of our gift recommendations, we were looking for products with value that you can use while gardening with joy and success without using them up.
At Manufactum, the classic for useful things with special quality and at the same time high standards of sustainability, we found many gift ideas, of which we would like to give you a little insight into the first three today. Since our first article wanted to inspire you to do something good for the birds in your garden, you will probably be interested in how you can make life a little easier for hedgehogs in winter.
Hedgehog's house made of larch wood
It's good if you still have a small pile left in the garden from the last autumn leaves, because that would now be an ideal place to set up this high-quality hedgehog house made of natural wood over the winter. Thanks to the square entrance, which is integrated into the downwards canopy, the 5.6 kg house becomes a protected place in which your hedgehog will find its safe retreat for the winter. The interior can be filled with dry leaves and cleaned if necessary using the lockable flap that opens upwards. With a size of 20 x 38 x 46 cm (height/width/depth), the stable shelter, which costs 76.00 euros, is large enough for the echinoderms to be able to create their own and additional supply of nesting materials from your garden.
For real practitioners: the Arborist tree saw
Tree saws should not only enable ergonomic and easy handling, but also a clean cut that ensures the wound healing of the branch material as quickly as possible. Arborist, the name of the saw, is based on the professional group of the same name that is commercially involved in tree care and tree restoration and whose design wishes were incorporated into the concept of this particularly important tool. In practice, the saw should be able to be handled just as sensitively as we know from a writing instrument and yet function particularly cleanly and with little effort. Here are some of the most important details of the high-quality tree saw, which is available from Manufactum at a price of 74.00 euros:
- Hard chrome-plated carbon steel saw blade;
- Handle material is made of multi-layered, oiled beech wood;
- Dimensions: leaf length 33 cm, total length 54 cm;
- Weight: 280 grams;
- The matching holster for attaching to the belt loop is optionally available;
The tomato house for high harvest yields
We started our news with greenhouses and we are now coming to an end with a very practical gift recommendation.
The very robustly constructed foil house with a steel frame (galvanized and weatherproof) makes a solid impression and, with its covered usable area of just over 3.5 m2, is also suitable for larger growing plants up to two meters high. The entire front can easily be rolled up if necessary, and the openings on each wall above the floor provide additional ventilation in summer. The house, which costs 169.00 euros, is attached to the open field using robust ground anchors; the UV-stabilized film (0.15 mm) is fixed to the framework using spring steel clips. The entire set weighs around 14 kg, but your tomato harvest next season will definitely be heavier as you will be spared from weather-related yield loss, brown rot or other plant diseases in the future.
