Ten top Christmas gifts to delight the keen gardener

Oleo-Mac 2000E Electric Chainsaw

The annual challenge of what top buy the person who has everything is about to rear its head again.

But if you have a keen gardener to buy for we can help as we have compiled a list of ten top presents anyone would be delighted to receive across a wide price range .

Actually this first one is a great gift whether or not you like gardening.

The Stiga Snow Electric 31 Snow Blower is a great little machine which will save hours of work with a shovel.

It’s designed to be simplicity itself – just plug it in and away you go. The machine slides along on snow shoes and is designed to clean hard surfaces like paths, patios and small drives.

As you walk along it picks up the snow and throws it up to five metres away, clearing right down to the ground.

It has a working width of 31 cm and an intake height of 23 cm and when you’ve finished with it you can simply hang it up in the porch.

It costs £89, £10 less than the maker’s recommended price and has a one year maker’s warranty.

We deliver it free the next working day.

Next is a chainsaw on exclusive special offer and perfect for light domestic use like preparing firewood and pruning overgrown shrubs.

The Oleo-Mac OM2000E Electric Chainsaw with a 40cm guide bar that’s 16 in – and has a 1900 Watt electric motor to power the chain along.

This chain, which whizzes around at 15 metres a second – is automatically lubricated and has a 200 ml oil reservoir to give a neat, clean cut.

It has a safety switch and a twin braking system to stop the chain if there is a kick back and comes with 10 metres of power cable.

This great little chain saw is currently £80 less than the maker’s recommended retail price as it sell for £99.95.

Oleo-Mac provides a three year guarantee and we deliver is free the next working day.

If you’re feeling generous there are a number of extras you but as well including a log horse with a chainsaw clamp for £39.95.

Now with this next one you can actually but four presents in one.

The MD 4-in-1 Multi Tool combines four handy garden tools all run from the same motor.

It has a hedge cutter, line trimmer, brush cutter and long range pruner all run by a 25.4 cc engine designed to be easy to start and with an automatic centrifugal clutch.

It has a D-shaped handle for easy use, low vibration levels and a shoulder harness.

All attachments are easy to fit- simply clicking into place. The line trimmer automatically spools out the line when needed and the brush cutter has three teeth and will deal with the thicker stuff.

Again extra products can be purchased including work gloves for £4.95.

This next one is a great little machine and one of those devices that every gardener has wished for at one time or another.

The Einhell BT-LS 44 Electric Log Splitter, currently on Special offer is a very simple to use machine engineered in Germany and perfect for splitting logs for the fire or wood burner. And certainly much easier than swinging an axe.

This machine is perfect for use at the moment when cats and bikes are often caked in winter mud. But in the Spring it will be ideal for cleaning down the patio and garden paths.

A newlawn mower is a popular Christmas gift and this next one, the Mountfield HP180 is ideal for smaller gardens.

Being a rear roller mower it leaves the traditional stripes which epitomise the British lawn and is ideal for a smaller lawn with a 41 cm cut.

A Briggs & Stratton engine gives plenty of power and is very easy to start and the ribbed rear roller gives that all important finish and contributes to a better looking lawn over time.

Another mower. And this one is revolutionary and the perfect gift for someone who needs a light weight and yet powerful machine.

The Greenworks G-MAX 50Li-40V Lithium-Ion 3-in-1 Twin-Force Cordless Lawnmower (25367) can take on a lawn the size of four tennis courts.

This mower has two 40 Volt lithium ion batteries and a power save feature which only takes as much power from the batteries as is needed – less for a flat lawn, more for a wet, longer area. It also changes the speed of the blades.

The cutting heights can be easily changed from 30 mm to 90 mm and the cutting width is 90 in.

The mower can be used as a mulcher if preferred and it even has a striping mat to leave a traditional finish.

For instance, a cordless leaf blower costs just £39.

Know a friendly farmer or someone living in an isolated cottage? Then they’d be really grateful for this Loncin LC3000-F Generator.
