The old man with the white beard is starting to polish up his reindeer ready for the annual voyage around the world. And the annual problem of what to buy the person who already has everything is on everyone’s lips.
If he or she is a keen gardener or has recently moved into a new house we have compiled a list of ten top Christmas presents to solve the problem.
All come with free delivery so you’ll have them in plenty of time for Christmas but we can deliver them to the lucky recipient if you prefer as long as they are on the UK mainland.

This has a working width of 31 cm and an intake height of 23 cm and will pick up the snow and throw it up to five metres away. The power comes from a 1100 Watt electric motor so to get started just plug it in.
It works like a powered shovel yet is light enough to hang in the porch when not in use and just slides along the surface – there are no wheels to worry about.
