Wow, that looks so useful and cute! Thanks!
I want mushroom growing kits on my wish list. I love my veggie picking basket. I even have a sign in my house that says ‘yard farm,’ which makes me smile. Does she have a name for her garden? Maybe a custom placard would be nice.
@Ari
If she’s into mushroom kits, I highly recommend the ones from Johnny Seeds that come from North Spore. I’m looking at five of their blue oyster mushroom kits right now, and the gardening students at a private elementary school have been using them. Most of these kits are on their third flush of mushrooms! At this point, it’s cheaper than buying mushrooms at the store!
Since she makes jam and other artisan foods, I bet she runs out of good jars to store everything in. A nice pack of mason jars would probably be very useful!

I think you can get those from Walmart, Amazon, or specialty stores. Last I checked, Walmart had the best prices for mason jars. I’d recommend comparing prices since the same jars can vary a lot by retailer.
You could consider thorn strippers, a thick kneeling pad, herb snips, a tool apron, Felco bypass pruners and snips (try to get ones with all metal parts), a corona blade sharpener, herb scissors, a garden journal, stylish Goodr sunglasses, and a nice scarf for sun protection. By the way, you’re a wonderful friend for seeking out such a thoughtful gift!
@Kai
Goodr sunglasses are a fantastic idea!

How about a nice bottle of whiskey or wine? Or perhaps a $5,000 Compost gift card?
That made me laugh, but I do enjoy sipping wine or whiskey in my garden.
I’m a master gardener myself. I love my Wilcox stainless steel trowel, Maine garden hod, Felco pruners and loppers, Silky pruning saw, and, of course, a hori hori. Does she have a garden shed? I hung a magnetic knife rack in mine to store my tools, which makes it super handy! I also have a cute enameled turtle twine dispenser that’s really useful. A garden cart is a pricier gift but worth it, and a gift card for a day of free labor might be welcome too.
@Zinn
Gorilla carts are fantastic!
Gardening sleeves can be helpful. They protect your forearms when pruning, picking zucchini, and digging.
I wish I hadn’t read this list.

I’m using this list for gift ideas for Christmas.
I bought myself this harvest basket this year and I LOVE it. I’m also getting one for my stepmom for Christmas.
How about a recipe book focusing on herbs? Or even a hot sauce recipe book? Who doesn’t love hot sauce? (Maybe not as many people as my family, but who knows!)
A gift card to a local nursery would put me in a great mood! 
There are so many great ideas here that I passed this onto my partner for my gift. A gift card to her favorite garden center would also be great if you wanted to add a little something.
Foxgloves gloves are great—most gardening gloves are either too big or not good enough. Besides Felco pruners, they’re a top necessity.
Bird feeders, hummingbird feeders, or a bee house would also be nice gifts.
As a master gardener, last Christmas I got a gorilla cart, Felco pruners, a gardening tool belt, and a Felco spade. I also received ‘Pruning and Training’ by the Royal Horticultural Society. The British have great pruning insights! Every Christmas, we exchange books about our interests.
A foam kneeling pad is super useful. I’m also asking for a boot tray with clogs and a new pair of quality gardening gloves (because I wear them out yearly) as well as plant markers.
Also, my kids give me a new birdbath or bird feeder each year for Mother’s Day. I love that I don’t have to pick it out or carry it, my husband makes sure it’s there on Mother’s Day morning.
A really good quality hori hori with a leather belt sling is a fantastic idea! That would be an amazing gift.
If she’s a master gardener, she’s likely not spending all her time in cute outfits trimming roses (though we all enjoy doing that!). Her role is focused on giving advice, teaching, and growing goods for volunteer agricultural projects.
