The best New Year gifts for a summer resident: both useful and enjoyable

Interesting ideas

Finding a New Year's gift for a gardener, vegetable grower, or homestead owner is easy. New tools, instruments, and high-tech gadgets are constantly appearing that can be used even in the smallest spaces. You can choose the perfect gift based on the recipient's interests. These can include not only "work" items but also something for relaxation, decor, and design.

Useful tools

Even if the owners don't plant extensively, but rather just a couple of flowerbeds, a few fruit trees, and a lawn, finding a gift will be easy. These could be universal tools, but in a new, unusual design, for example:

garden vacuum cleaner;
electric lawn mower;
Automatic pruning shears.

If your budget allows, you can choose high-tech cultivators, irrigation systems, and even give a greenhouse. If you're on a budget, buyset of toolsFor example, shrub shears, a cultivator, or pruning shears with replaceable, adjustable-length handles. Gardeners and vegetable growers often look for these items, but don't buy them. So, a gift like this is sure to please.

Note!

You can find any instrument you want online, but a unique model with an interesting design and personalized engraving would make a great New Year's gift. This would look very appropriate for the holiday.

If the property owner enjoys unusual gadgets, is drawn to zero-waste production, or simply enjoys learning new technology, consider giving an automatic shredder, a hand-held pressure washer, or an ultrasonic sprayer. These are quite expensive, but you can save money by keeping an eye out for regular sales.

Leisure and design

A dacha is also a place to unwind, away from the hustle and bustle of city lights, in the fresh air. A dacha wouldn't be as comfortable without separate, beautifully designed and functional seating areas. Therefore, a small hammock makes a great gift. Models with decorative fringes, made of bright, thick fabrics, and in traditional styles are especially beautiful. It's best if they're made of water-repellent fabric. Miniature hammocks are easy to find space for. You don't need an entire orchard for one. Supports can be purchased or made yourself.

An alternative is a mobile swing or a portable wicker chair. These eco-friendly pieces will take pride of place right outside your home, in a prominent location. Willow wicker, rattan, jute rope, and natural wood will last a lifetime if properly treated.

For those who love flowerbeds and landscape design, consider gifting an unusual flower or a young tree of a rare variety. Nurseries offer seedlings in large pots, making them easy to preserve until planting season, even indoors. You can also reserve seedlings in advance and give a gift certificate. Large farms offer this service. The new owner can pick up the gift at a convenient time in the spring.

As a rule, gardeners try to cook outdoors as much as possible during the season. But to ensure a pleasant experience and perfect results, special equipment is needed. These can also be given as New Year's gifts. If possible, buy a tandoor, a popular oven. It's perfect for cooking aromatic flatbreads, juicy shashlik, roasted vegetables, and even Eastern sweets. A more affordable alternative is a small grill. If the gardener already has one, they can find attractive tongs with long handles and a handy cleaning brush. A meat thermometer for monitoring the doneness of steaks and fish makes a great gift.

Note!

Grills can also be tabletop and easily stored for winter.

Shashlik is a popular dacha dish. Therefore, everything related to its preparation will be used. This could include skewers with unusual, decorated handles. Forged ones look beautiful and are easy to use. If you're on a budget, you can buy a fire starter as a gift. Kitchenware stores offer large shashlik dishes with convenient skewer slots, large decorative wooden boards with high sides, special juice channels, and compartments for spices and salt.

Finding a gift for a keen gardener isn't difficult. New gardening tools are constantly being developed, surprising even the most experienced gardener. Those less versed in technology and equipment should consider leisure items, such as hammocks, swings, and garden furniture.
