We all have gift giving on the mind! Not exactly surprising, considering that Chanukkah starts in four days and Christmas is four days after that. A few weeks back, I wrote up a post with some gift suggestions, but if that list didn’t do it for you, quite a number of other people have written about gardening gift giving as well.

- Last Minute Gifts for Gardeners: Genevieve from North Coast Gardening has come up with a unique list of gifts for gardeners. Gen is a gardening coach and landscape designer, she wouldn’t steer you wrong!
- Handmade Gifts for Gardeners: If you’re a handmade kind of person, but don’t have enough time to DIY this season, check out Gayla of You Grow Girl’s list.
- 12 Days of Gardening Gifts: Cindy over at Walk Down the Garden Path has been posting a gift idea a day for six days thus far. Be sure to check back regularly to see the rest of her suggestions.
- Christmas List for the Beginning Gardener: Avid gardener and journalist Mary Ann at Idaho Gardener has a thoughtful list of nice gifts for beginners, although I suspect there are a number of items on her list a more seasoned gardener would appreciate too.
- Music to Garden To: Gayla also came up with this list of music she thinks would be great to stick on your mp3 player and listen to while out among your plants. I like this idea a lot. Mix tapes are a dying art, and a well done playlist is worth way more than the combined cost of the CDs.

Love the links! I’m busily checking out everyone’s suggestions. Thanks for connecting us all, Fern! Some great ideas here.
I too love the idea of a gardening mix – I have an entrepreneurial/ inspiring mix, but not a gardening one – I’ll have to work on that! Unfortunately most of the references to green I hear in modern music involves a type of plant I am definitely not growing, thank you – LOL.
Thanks for the inclusion in your post! Hope your holiday is a good one. And 2009 your best garden year, yet!
Gen — What’s on your entrepreneurial/inspiring mix?
MA — My pleasure. You too!
Hi Fern – I’ve been so busy posting I am just now catching up on my reading! Thanks for the link love
I’ve been thinking of you as Chanukkah approaches.
Can someone give me an early spring for Christmas??
Cindy — That’s so nice of you! The first night of Chanukkah is tonight!
TC — You and me both. Southern California has had an unusually cold (for us) late fall/winter.
