Luma Electric Kitchen Composter by NewAir

Sabrina is completely in love with this, and even Rusty has started setting aside scraps for the composter. We can attest that it is quiet and, thanks to its filter system, doesn’t give off the food-scraps odor that other composters do.

Turn food scraps into nutrient-rich compost with this countertop composter. It’s compact, fast, and ideal for eco-conscious gardeners who want to give their soil a boost. We’ve cut down on waste significantly since using ours, and we love getting my kitchen scraps back out into the soil. At $399, it’s spendy, but it’s a sustainable gift that any gardener will love. (You can also check for sale prices on the website.) Get it here.

Woodland Tools Heavy Duty Hori Hori Garden Knife

The Halvorsons got deep into gardening this year, as Sabrina enrolled in a 2-year herbalism program. One of the recommended tools was a good Hori Hori knife. We’d never ever heard of a Hori Hori knife before, but after doing due diligence in researching, we discovered this has all the features you need. It’s sturdy, durable, and the numbers are a good size (helpful for our middle-aged eyes!)

Every gardener needs a reliable tool, and this Hori Hori knife is a true workhorse. From digging and cutting to weeding and measuring, it does it all. The heavy-duty construction and ergonomic handle make it a joy to use. At $20, it’s a budget-friendly yet invaluable addition to any gardener’s tool kit. Purchase here.

Whether you’re shopping for a seasoned farmer or a passionate gardener, these gifts are sure to make their work a little easier and their days a lot brighter. Happy gifting!
