What to Look for When Buying Garden Gift Baskets
Before you assemble a gardening gift basket, here are a few things to look for. Start by selecting larger items first: Think Amanda shovels, gardening clothes, clothes and watering cans. These items will fill up the basket first, so place them before other items, which helps determine the size of the basket you need. The next step is to seek a basket that can accommodate your main (larger) items. From there, shop for your filler items: snippers, pruners, seeds and other accessories that catch our eye. Instead of traditional metals and colors for watering cans, look for modern materials like copper and ceramic, which make elegant gifts.
