Holiday Gift Guide: For Absolutely Everyone On Your List

– This post is sponsored by Garrett Wade –

This Holiday Gift Guide is near to my heart because I adore this company, Garrett Wade. I worked with them earlier this year to create some fun videos that promote hand tools and doing it yourself in the garden. It was such a joy!

I LOVE the mission of the business and the love for craftsmanship, artisanal goods, and USA-made. Garrett Wade is known this time of year for its stunning vintage toys and true one-stop-shop approach to quality goods.

Pictured here, G and I are making orange garlands with their to-die-for vintage knives, and also latkes with the grater. Beautiful and high-quality kitchen goods are hard to come by, and these stunners make amazing gifts.

I’ve chosen 12 of my favorite things here, but you can find a lot of their tools in my home!

Here’s a video of me using the wire cutters, here is a post with some excellent gardening tools that I love and use daily, and here is a video of the ravioli trays in use! I also use the stovetop espresso maker here to make lavender lattes! Seriously, I’m in love with this company.

I hope you enjoy this holiday gift guide and collection of goodies.

The holiday gift guide for everyone
  1. My favorite garden shears, $39 – perfect for gardeners (of course).
  2. Gorgeous outdoor thermometer, $49.90 – this has Dad written all over it. Anyone else’s parents watch the weather channel?
  3. Mushroom nut crackers, $13.25, Stocking stuffers with all the charm!
  4. Children’s garden tools, $21.50, all the children need these – even mine.
  5. Travel croquet set, $125, this is for your fancy friend and the person who has everything. We do a picnic every Mother’s Day so this is on my personal list.
  6. Beautiful birdhouse, $89, my in-laws will get this along with a regional birding book – don’t tell!
  7. Indoor kitchen garden, $209, I love this for business associates.
  8. Vintage knife set, $42, Secret Santa no-fail.
  9. Stovetop espresso maker, $59, my super cool and hard to shop for step brother gets this. He’s into vintage and camping and novelty items.
  10. Oil lamps, $65, we all have a friend who’s into hygge and Anne of Green Gables (also this is me).
  11. Vintage rocking horse toys, $38.40, perfect kid toys and restaurant toys for those of us trying to beat screens.
  12. Garden model kit, $52.50, my Aunt is getting this – it’s an elevated puzzle moment and I think she’ll love the project. ef

Happy holidays my loves – I hope your shopping adventures bring joy and satisfaction.

Edible flowers are a garden staple for me. I’ll grow any and ALL of them. 

Up first in this little series: flower ice cubes. As simple as putting flowers in the ice cube tray, filling it with water, and then freezing! 

It’s making mocktail hour very festive around here! 

Flower featured: dianthus. I grow it as a perennial and while I love it, the petals get separated when you destem them and they’re a bit fragile so I prefer to use them this way or fresh.

A tiny pollinator garden! In the dead heat of summer ☀️

I planted a meter lemon (which, yes, will be great in this pot forever) and some fennel for the giant swallowtail butterflies. Then parsley which attract the black swallowtail butterfly, and Pentas which will give nectar to all the hummingbirds and bees and butterflies. 

I filled the very bottom of this pot with some rocks, then added a bag of citrus mix soil (good drainage) and potting soil above that. It’s just what I had laying around. 

I chose to place the parsley behind the citrus for a little shade and then the fennel on the sides and the pentas up front. 

Hope this is helpful for any of my small spacer gardeners - there’s so much you can do in one pot!

It started on a dead patch of lawn, which I turned into two raised beds. 

And now after *years* of research, trial, moves, waiting on global pandemics to end (♾) we have a garden with 10 beds, an arch trellis, a potting bench, and 8 hours of sun! 

Honestly, my husband has pushed me to not half-ass it. I like progress over perfect, and without his help and nudging I’d just have thrown some seeds in the ground and called it a day. Which is totally fine, and so very good enough. 

But he knew I wanted a specific place. A room. A setting for my dreams. A location that beckons visitors and creates admirers not for the sake of ego, but to inspire into appreciators of the garden in general. 

So, go all in on yourself. Don’t half ass it.

I love this plant. Calendula is an edible and medicinal flower that self sows quite well. I haven’t had it growing in my garden in about 6 months, and yet here she is! 

She likes a cooler season, but apparently end of July works too! Once I saw this volunteer pop up, I immediately started the rest of my seeds. 

Follow natures queues to best learn your own garden. Mama 🌎 knows best. 

Hoping for a big calendula year to make salves for friends and family. We love it for cuts, burns, and irritated skin. 

Oh and then there’s the pure unadulterated joy of calendula flowers adorning a cake or salad. She’s a queen, this one.
