Five perfect Father's Day gifts for dads who love gardening
Father's Day is fast approaching on June 16, so you might be wondering what to get your dad. If he's the type of person who spends a lot of time in the garden, you might want to take a look at our handpicked selection of shears, gardening gloves and more.
Father's Day is right around the corner now, but the good news is that if you're reading this there's still time to pick up a top-class gift for your dad.
If that father is a keen gardener, even better - we've scoured Amazon to find you a selection of top-class gift options if you're looking to give them a new tool, or just a thoughtful little something to make their green-fingered life easier.
1. Bosch Cordless AdvancedShear
Anyone with any sort of hedge in their garden will know that shearing things by hand is a massive pain. Sure, it's how people used to do all their garden work, but it's tiring and inefficient. Bosch has a whole heap of excellent garden tools to offer up, and this is a superb time-saver.
It's basically a little automatic shearer, and is perfect for quickly trimming hedges - plus, it's down to £94.99 from £134 on Amazon, making it a great deal right now at 29% off.
2. DIY Doctor Unisex Leather Heavy Duty Gardening Gloves
Amazon is full of gardening glove multipacks, with one or too not leaving everyone full of confidence where quality is concerned. These gloves, though, are from a more trusted brand and have over 1,000 customer ratings averaging out at 4.5 stars - all of which suggests they're more reliable.
They're heavy-duty and protective, and quite big, so will suit larger hands. Plus, they should be more than capable of helping to shield your dad from thorns and other garden hazards. At £9.99 for a pair, this is a much more affordable gift option.
Now, we're not going to pretend that this is a sensible gift for every gardening dad out there. It's much more of an option for those with big gardens, wooded areas to take care of, or tree trimming to do. Still, if that sounds like your dad, and they normally use a handsaw, this compact chainsaw is a life-changer.
It's miniature enough to be easy to use and not so intimidating, while still being nice and powerful. You can get it on Amazon for just £109.99 at the moment, down from £129.99.
4. Spear & Jackson Kew Gardens Razorsharp Secateurs
An absolute garden essential provides another cheaper gift choice for those who think their dad needs some new basics. This twin-pack of secateurs comes with the massive endorsement of a partnership with Kew Gardens, and should offer really reliable snipping and cutting.
There are cheaper options available, but few will match the reliability of this pair - and a 10-year guarantee underlines that nicely. They're currently £19.49 on Amazon, which is a great price for a thoughtful gift.
5. Spear & Jackson Kew Gardens Gift Set
We're going to stick with Spear & Jackson's Kew Gardens linkup for our final gift pick, in fact, since it has the perfect option for those looking to refresh their dad's toolshed.
This three-pack offers a standard trowel, a transplanting trowel and a weed fork - three completely essential tools for any gardener, and all are really nice quality finished in stainless steel. At £13.49 down from £16.25, a 17% saving, they're perfect for those who want the range of a gift set rather than one bulkier device.
More gardening gifts can also be picked up from the likes of Wickes and B&Q.
