A gardening gift can be the start of something wonderful: a new hobby, a favourite plant, new skill discovered or simply more time spent outdoors. With 55% of UK adults enjoying gardening as a hobby, according to the RHS State of Gardening Report 2025*, the RHS is sharing inspiration for Christmas gifting with a collection of presents celebrating the many ways people enjoy plants and gardening.

A wider purpose also sits at the heart of every RHS gift, with each purchase helping to support the RHS’s charitable work and a shared passion for horticulture, learning and community.

RHS BOOKS

All new for 2026, an RHS book can offer inspiration long after Christmas has passed, whether it’s helping someone plan their next gardening year or encouraging them to look at the natural world differently. The RHS Garden Almanac 2027 (£14.99), by Zia Allaway and Guy Barter, is packed with seasonal ideas and advice for the year ahead, while RHS The Garden Cure (£20.00), by Ann Treneman, takes a more unexpected look at the ways plants and gardens can enrich everyday life. For nature lovers on the go, the RHS Pocket Guides to Trees, Garden Birds and Wildflowers (£12.99 each) offers plenty to discover on walks and when out and about, while the RHS What Plant Where Encyclopedia (£30.00) is filled with planting inspiration for those dreaming up their next garden project.

RHS BEAUTY & FRAGRANCE GIFTS

Perfect for stockings or a little extra tucked beneath the tree, RHS beauty and fragrance gifts bring a botanical touch to everyday routines. The Reed Diffuser (was £26.00, now £20.80) fills the home with a cosy blend of fruit and aromatic spices, while the Greenhouse Hand Care Gift Set (£19.95) offers a ready-made treat for hardworking hands. Smaller finds include the Women’s Sock Gift Box (£14.99) featuring three garden-inspired designs, while the Soap Bar (£5.95) and Hand Cream (£7.95), in a fresh rhubarb and mint pairing, offer a little everyday indulgence.

RHS GARDENING TOOLS

The right tools can make time in the garden even more enjoyable, whether it’s tending to everyday jobs or taking on a bigger project. The Gold Leaf Dry Touch Gloves (£22.99) help protect hands during regular gardening, while the Gardening Tool Bag (£75.00) keeps essential kit organised and close at hand.

When pruning calls for extra reach and cutting power, the Telescopic Ratchet Loppers (was £58.99, now £53.09) are a useful addition to the shed. The Meadow Fork and Trowel Set (£26.99) and Pruner and Holster Gift Box (£22.99) make practical gifts, while the Sowing and Potting Tin (£17.99) is a thoughtful choice for anyone who enjoys growing plants from seed.

RHS HOUSEPLANTS

A beautiful plant makes a thoughtful, lasting gift, whether chosen for its distinctive foliage, colourful blooms or seasonal appeal. The Cymbidium ‘Jingle Bells’ orchid (from £62.99) offers a striking floral display, while the Phalaenopsis ‘Boquetto Romantico’ orchid (from £44.99) brings soft pink, lightly scented blooms and is currently advertised with 10% off. For understated elegance, the white Anthurium ‘White Champion’ (£26.99) makes a stylish addition to a bright room. Alternatively, Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Schneeball’ (£26.99) can be enjoyed indoors while flowering, then planted in the garden for future seasonal blooms.

RHS CREATIVE GIFTS

A love of plants can inspire creativity in all sorts of ways. The Botanical Bliss Jigsaw Puzzle (£17.99) and Paint by Numbers (£20.00) offer relaxing ways to enjoy botanical artwork, while the Flower Press Kit (£15.00) lets flower lovers preserve blooms and turn them into keepsakes. Those who prefer to get growing can look forward to scented flowers with The Sweet Pea Grower’s Kit (£34.99), while the Reusable Perpetual Desk Calendar (£7.99) brings botanical illustrations to a desk throughout the year.

RHS EXPERIENCES

From garden visits to creative courses, RHS experiences offer something to look forward to. With free entry to all RHS Gardens and Partner Gardens, RHS Show ticket savings, personalised gardening advice and The Garden magazine, an RHS Gift Membership opens up a whole variety of ways to enjoy the natural world throughout the whole year (reduced from £79.99 to £59.99 from 2 November to 24 December, with a free Burgon & Ball trowel worth £14 for those who activate by 31 January 2027). Or, give them the chance to try something new with an RHS workshop or course, from vegetable growing and forest gardening to botanical art and photography (prices vary).

For gardeners who prefer to choose for themselves, an RHS Gift Card (£5-500) lets you set the amount and leaves them free to pick plants or gardening essentials at participating RHS stores, garden centres and online at RHS Plants. RHS Gift Cards can also be used to purchase RHS Show tickets whether it be world famous RHS Chelsea Flower Show, the new RHS Plant Festival or the return of RHS Flower Show Tatton Park.
