This is the single best gift to give any gardener
Metal gardening tools, gardening gloves, and several colorful flowers arranged on a patch of soil

If you’re shopping for a gardener, or maybe even looking for an idea to put on your own wish list, you may be wondering about the absolute best gardening gift. There are a lot of options, to be sure. You may have considered curating items for gardening gift baskets, or else thought about getting them a plant subscription box. There's a vast variety of tools and seeds and novelty T-shirts that any plant-devoted human may squeal about. But the one thing that stands out is a high-quality hori hori knife.
What is a hori hori knife?
Hori knives are special gardening knives that are often used for digging, weeding, and pruning. The word “hori” is the Japanese word for “to dig,” and hori hori is used to describe the sound of digging, so the name is something of a pun!

Although they’re called knives, hori hori knives are actually double bladed, meaning that both edges are sharp. This means that it is actually, technically, a dagger! There are some variations between makers, but it is typical to see blades that are marked with measurements, blades that have a smooth edge and a toothier, more saw-like edge, a fairly short blade, and a nice wooden handle.
Why is it a great gift?
Hori hori knives are multipurpose, meaning that one high-quality hori hori knife can replace several different garden tools and often do the job better than the original tools. They’re durable and long-lasting, meaning they give you a good return on your investment.
