A gardening apron glass ornament honors the pockets full of twine, the dirt under the fingernails, and the back that aches by evening. It is a warm little tribute for anyone who talks about their tomatoes at every dinner. Hang it on the tree, clip it to a wreath, set it at a place setting as a favor, or send it as the gift topper on something larger.
Perfect for: gardener gifts, garden club exchanges, mother-in-law gifts, spring birthdays, ornament exchanges, and housewarmings.
This is a hand-painted glass ornament from Old World Christmas, mouth-blown into a carved mold and glittered, in a tradition that began in the 1800s. It hangs from a branch on a standard hook, and it comes with a keepsake box so it goes back into storage safely each January. Gardeners tend to leave it out on a kitchen shelf year-round.
Pair it with the gloves and the trowel for a garden tree, or shop more glass Christmas ornaments for the rest of the list.
