Where to buy gardening-related gifts?
So I've been procrastinating on a gift for my cousin's bridal shower this Saturday... She and her FI like to garden so my sister and I are getting them a gift certificate to a local nursery, but we'd like to get a small gift to go with it (per last week's conversation about giving money at showers, it's pretty boring to watch the bride open gift cards). I've found a couple of things online, but I would probably have to pay for expedited shipping at this point. Any thoughts on where I could buy something locally? I buy most of my plants from Meadows Nursery, but I've never really noticed any gift-type items there. Worst case scenario, we get a nice potted plant to go with the gift card, but I thought the Nesties might have some ideas. TIA!

Re: Where to buy gardening-related gifts?
Merrifield Garden Center's Merrifield store (they have multiple stores but I have only been in the one actually in Merrifield at Gallows and Lee Highway) has a lot of stuff. They have gardening gloves, boots, kneeling pads, tools, birdfeeders, pretty pots and all kinds of stuff. Some of it is pricey, but some is pretty reasonable.
I think a pretty pot filled with nice tools and a kneeling pad would be cute. (Unless you know that they already have that sort of stuff.)
Gardening gloves are very personal to the person, so I wouldn't buy those.
Another vote for Merrifield!
