Lawn Garden Gift Ideas

Wind Chimes

• Wind chimes provide a relaxing sound with the breeze in a garden. Many kinds are available, and the sounds are distinctly different from one another. Large metal chimes have deep tones while the smaller chimes have a softer, higher pitch. Chimes come in basic designs while others are highly decorative. Suspended from a tree in the garden, they provide music and harmony with nature.

Bird Feeders

• Bird feeders bring activity to your lawn or garden. In the winter when your garden is at rest, the antics of the wild birds is entertaining to observe. To complement the bird feeder, include a bag of birdseed and a bird identification book. Hummingbirds are fascinating to watch darting in and out of the flower garden. A hummingbird feeder, used only during summer, will attract more of these little visitors. Include packages of commercial hummingbird food mix with the feeder.

Birdbaths

• Birdbaths provide a pretty feature in any garden. They attract colorful birds and are decorative when surrounded by flowers. Birdbaths are made from many materials and come in many styles. They can be made from resin, metal, glass or cement, and the design can be plain or highly decorated with relief details. This is a lasting gift that will provide years of enjoyment.

Stepping Stones

• Stepping stones are concrete slabs crafted as decorative pathways for a garden. They can be used as a single step or in a series. The slabs are often elaborately decorated with mosaics or imprinted with leaves. Stepping stones can be purchased commercially or as kits. Crafting the stone yourself makes a very personal gift.
