Here at Waltons we are passionate about creating an easy and efficient shopping experience for our customers and although we’ve already done that for our range of garden buildings, we want to continue that experience into the Christmas season with what gifts to buy for friends and family. So in this guide we’re going to suggest a range of Christmas gift ideas for the humble gardener all the way to the prosecco party-goer.
The Best Gift of them All
Our speciality, although on the higher end of the cost spectrum, is a Christmas gift that lasts for years both in memory and in the garden, a high quality garden building from Waltons. A Garden Shed makes for a great addition to any garden, perfect for storing all the new garden supplies they’ll get for Christmas or even turning it into a hobby shed. If you think they’ll prefer the latter of those two options then consider getting them a more substantial garden building in the form of a Log Cabin or Summerhouse, additional rooms to focus on hobbies such as the gym, craft or even running a small business. And for the more green fingered inclined consider a Greenhouse, with a range of different sizes and materials you’ll be able to find the perfect place for your friend to grow veg and flowers right into spring. So no matter what garden building you think your friend will prefer one thing is for certain, they can thank you for their gift while having a peaceful chat in their new building.
Gifts for Prosecco Drinkers and Chocolate Eaters
For those who could think of no better past time than sitting on some nice chairs “discussing” a mutual friend in between sips of Morrisons finest prosecco and some delicious chocolates, then we’ve got the gifts for you. Classic gifts for these friends are of course, prosecco and chocolates; but alternatively some nice glasses, chocolate trays or a classy bottle of top shelf booze. Drunk Jenga and other fun board games make for a great pastime to play while chatting and for a more relaxing vibe after all the games perhaps a self care kit or at home spa treatments. And where better to enjoy all these fun gifts than within their own specialised relaxation room, one of our very own IGR’s.
For The Outdoor Adventurer
Anybody who loves going outside on a new hike they found on AllTrails or to visit the must see spot they found on Instagram knows that the right gear can make or break a walk. From head to toe, shoes to hats, waterproof gear is a must. If you’re not sure what type of gear to get them then a voucher to somewhere like Go Outdoors or Decathlon would make the receiver rush to quickly replenish their gear. If you’d rather they have some more physical open, something as simple as a new Swiss army knife or collapsible water bottle for easy storage in a water proof bag (another great gift).
Peace and Quiet for Arts and Crafts
One trip to HobbyCraft and you’ll be bamboozled with more arts and crafts than you thought would be possible for a human to do, but that is the amount of different gifts and ideas you could get for your creative friend. If you know what they like then head straight to that section and start buying. If they’re into paints then they’ll always need some fresh brushes and of course more paint. The sewer needs thread. The sketcher needs paper. And the sculptor needs clay. If you’re not sure what craft they’re into then don’t stress, as any creative person would relish the opportunity to try their hand at a new hobby. The only problem is getting that peace and quiet to do the arts and crafts, that’s why we recommend a lovely Summerhouse or Log cabin to enjoy a few moments of peace to craft some truly beautiful and even display it as inspiration across the sturdy walls.
The Green Fingered Gardener
Back to our speciality within the gardening realm, there’s a long list of gifts that gardeners would adore. Gloves are one thing that gardeners constantly need replacing, small gardening tools like shears and trowels are so easy to lose or break, so another good thing to buy someone is some resilient tools (you could even get them engraved for a more personal touch). Seeds and saplings are also an easy gift that are a constant show of how much you care throughout the year as they blossom. A gift that shows you care even more however, is a Waltons Greenhouse. Such as a Combi greenhouse, giving both storage solutions and the benefits of greenhouse on any veg and flowers. Or a larger Palram Canopia greenhouse, the tall metal structure becomes the focal point of any garden and can home not just plants but chairs to bask in the green glory of upcoming spring.
Get the Gifts Sorted
Christmas is right around the corner now and the time for last orders of any of our garden buildings is the 13th of December so get the orders in quick. Once that’s sorted you can sit back with some eggnog, put on the Grinch and relax till Christmas comes. But... you can relax even more if you do it within your new Log Cabin from Waltons.
