I'm looking for the perfect birthday gift for my wife, who's recently taken up gardening and absolutely loves it! She has two raised beds—one for veggies and another with flowers—along with several in-ground rose beds. I'd love to hear some gift ideas that could enhance her gardening experience.

A gardening bag filled with tools would make a fantastic gift! My fiancé surprised me with one, and I adore it. You can find some cute options on Amazon that come with everything a gardener needs.
If she loves roses, getting her a nice pair of rose gardening gloves is a great idea. They're longer and more durable, so they protect her arms while she works. I've also found some lovely protective sleeves from Farmers Defense that are super helpful for weeding and pruning without worrying about scratches.
For a newer gardener, consider gifts like cute gloves, a stylish basket for harvesting veggies, or a comfy kneeling pad to ease the strain on her knees. Gardening books, like the Vegetable Gardener's Handbook or Raised-Bed Gardening For Beginners, could also be handy. Just a heads up, avoid buying seeds—my husband once got me a mix that included invasive plants, and that was quite a challenge to deal with!
That's such a thoughtful note! I completely understand the struggle with unsolicited seeds. It's a good call to stick with tools and accessories instead.
