Nothing is worse than the hectic fear buying at the famous “last minute” every year. Although there is still some opinion that retailers would reduce prices from mid-December as part of their Christmas campaigns. 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.

Finding Christmas presents for garden lovers is not that difficult

But after all, a gift for Christmas should be something special, i.e. something unique, with which you want to be remembered 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 high-quality products that you can use with joy and success in gardening without consuming them.

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 introduce you to the first three today. Since we wanted to inspire you with our first article to do something good for the birds in your garden, you are probably just as interested in how you can make life a little easier for hedgehogs in winter.

Hedgehog house made of larch wood

It's good if you still have a small pile left over from the last autumn leaves in the garden, because that would be an ideal place to set up this high-quality assembled hedgehog house made of natural wood over the winter. The square entrance, which is integrated into the canopy, turns the 5.6 kg house into a protected place where your hedgehog will find a safe retreat for the winter time. The interior can be filled with dry leaves and cleaned if necessary via 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 have their own 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, which ensures that the branch material heals as quickly as possible. Arborist, the name of the saw, is based on the professional group of the same name, which is commercially involved in tree care and tree renovation and whose design wishes have been incorporated into the concept of this particularly important tool. In practice, the saw should be able to be guided just as sensitively as we know it from a writing implement and yet function particularly cleanly and with little effort. Here are some of the most important data 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 consists of multi-layer, oiled beech wood;
  • Dimensions: leaf length 33 cm, total length 54 cm;
  • Weight: 280 grams;
  • the matching holster for attachment to the belt loop is available as an option;

The tomato house for high yields

We started our news with greenhouses and we are now coming to an end with a very practical gift recommendation.

The very robustly built foil house with steel frame (galvanized and weatherproof) makes a solid impression and with its covered usable area of just over 3.5 m2 it is also suitable for larger growing plants up to two meters high. The entire front can be easily rolled up if necessary, and the openings above the floor on each wall provide additional ventilation in summer. The EUR 169.00 house is attached to the ground using robust ground anchors, the UV-stabilized foil (0.15 mm) is fixed to the frame with spring steel clips. The whole set weighs around 14kg, but your next season's tomato harvest will definitely be heavier as you will be spared weather-related yield losses, brown rot or other plant diseases in the future.
