Great lawn mowers make great Christmas presents

In the bleak mid winter the last thing on your mind is probably the lawn, frosted over, snow covered or flooded.
But when Spring is sprung you’d be really grateful that in the shed was a brand new mower, all ready for action and a blessed relief from the old faithful friend who took an age to kick into life.
Any gardener would be grateful for a new mower for Christmas, perhaps the most practical present you could give and one which will be remembered for years.
So here are ten mowers chosen from the huge range on our site which would make a brilliant lasting gift this Christmas.
