A garden trowel glass ornament is a small, knowing nod to the person who starts reading seed catalogs in January. It hangs neatly among the branches, where it looks entirely at home against the greenery. Send it up the tree, tuck it into a mantel garland, wire it onto a wreath, or tie it to a gift as a topper that outlasts the wrapping paper.
Perfect for: gardeners, garden club exchanges, hostess gifts, spring birthdays, stocking stuffers, and a first-apartment tree.
Old World Christmas has made glass ornaments in a tradition that began in the 1800s, and this one follows it: glass mouth-blown into a carved mold, then hand-painted and finished with glitter. Hang it from a branch, a cabinet knob, or a standard hook, and it arrives in a keepsake box so it can go back into storage in one piece.
Group it with the other garden tools for a garden-themed tree, then browse more unique Christmas ornaments to fill in around it.
