Christmas Gifts

Canadian Gardening has an interesting gift list in the current issue. My fav is the following: "My dream gift for Christmas would be a young, strapping male with meaty thighs and a willingness to fulfil my every desire—but mostly to dig, dig, dig.""

Otherwise, consider the following.
1) A garden bandit or weed looper. Just a pole with a loop of metal on the end but oh, what a back saver and efficient weeder.
2) A kneeling stool which can also be turned over to use as a seat. This item is a knee saver and you will find plenty of other uses for it.
3) A pair of Felcro pruners, the best made.
4)A lovely indoor plant or selection of indoor herbs
5) A beautiful bird feeder.

Tip. If you are prone to achy lower back muscles , try this wonderful tip. When you feel the ache coming on, just stand and give yourself a good shake. Shake you fanny and your entire body. Magic.
