Gardening products being bought as gifts
 
There’s plenty of evidence in the GTN Bestsellers Garden Products chart that consumers are choosing gardening tools and accessories as ideal gifts for family and friends this Christmas.

The Town & Country Secateur, Holder and Knife Set (pictured) is always a bestseller at this time of year. It has increased its sales this week to hold No 34 spot in the chart.

Burgon & Ball’s Knee Pads will also make the perfect gift, and it is one of 14 re-entries, coming straight back in at No 42.

Vivid Arts and Smart Solar are two companies with products that are seeing impressive sales at this time of year.

It seems that the pets and farm animals from Vivid Arts have caught the gardening public’s imagination, and garden centres are devoting more space to them in store (see the picture below taken at Grosvenor Garden Centre).

In this week’s chart Vivid Arts have two products in the Top 20 – Natural Friends Playful Penguin is at No 11 and Pet Pals Baby Donkey at No 13.

Smart Solar have seen an increase in sales of their Owl Solar Light, rising 11 places in the chart to No 17. The Happy Hens Solar Spotlights also move up 11 spots to No 22.

There are two re-entries too for Smart Solar – Garden Bird Solar Spotlight at No 30 and Country Bird Solar Spotlight at No 49.

Customers are also getting their flower decorations ready for Christmas, and Oasis is one company benefitting from this surge in interest. Its Ideal Wet Floral Foam Bricks are their bestselling product at No 9.

Gardeners are spending money on their houseplants, with many associated products in the  Top 50 this week. Some of the bestselling items include Fito Drip Feeder at No 1 and Drip Feeder for Poinsettia & Christmas Cactus at No 3. Scheurich has six items in the chart, topped by its Glossy Cream Cover Pot at No 4.
