If you have an organic garden fan, or a gourmet foodie on your Christmas list check out the Global Garden’s Gourmet Club. It’s the gift that keeps on giving all year long.

Once you set someone up in the Gourmet Club, they’ll receive a fresh shipment from Global Garden’s California store once every season (or 4 times a year).

From Gourmet Gardens

Join the Olive Revolution and you’ll only pay $39.00 (per shipment) for at least $60.00 worth of food products—you’ll always save 20% or more on club shipments! A typical assortment includes one bottle of premium extra virgin olive oil, a bottle of Global Gardens signature fruit vinegar and one or more of our latest kitchen concoctions such as a seasonal finishing glaze, appetizer spread or confection.

Their holiday shipment includes California Estate Mission Varietal Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Fig Infused Balsamic Vinegar, Roasted Garlic Spread and Finishing Glaze (all pictured here). This shipment is available until February 1st 2009, so if no one will get this for you for Christmas you can buy it for yourself after the holidays.

Global Gardens Gourmet Gift Club also save 20% on all food purchases from their store or website.

I had the opportunity to sample a couple of their finishing glazes, and they are delicious! They’re great for recipes, and their organic cold pressed olive oil would be great to add to fresh vegetables during the summer.

Just in time for the brutal winter months Mother Earth’s Garden is giving away 4 bottles of Vaseline Clinical Therapy Lotion, to 4 lucky readers. If you’re anything like me, working outside and in the garden leaves my hands dry, and cracked (especially in the winter).

Vaseline Clinical Therapy Lotion is prescription strength lotion, available without a prescription. That means you can prescribe it to yourself or other family members. Check out their latest promo:

You can find out more about the Vaseline Clinical Therapy grass roots prescribe yourself movement at Prescribe The Nation.

The Mantis is my favorite little garden tiller. It’s not so large that I can’t maneuver it in the garden, like some other tillers.

The Mantis Tiller/Cultivator has an exclusive patented reversible “serpentine” tines to dig deep even in the hardest soil (and I have high clay hard soil in parts of my Ohio garden).

It’s the little tiller that could, easy to start, and easy to use.

The Mantis tiller helps you till even the tightest spaces between plants, which works great for me. I tend to plant everything close together, then about half way through the summer everything’s grown together and a regular tiller won’t fit through.

Check out the Mantis Tiller and more great gifts for gardeners at the Mother Earth’s Garden gift guide.

Here is a gift idea for the gadget loving gardener on your gift list this year. The Easy Bloom has an in ground sensor that can analyze the growing conditions in your garden, yard, or even indoors.

The Easy Bloom Plant Sensor uses the same technology that was used on NASA’s Mars Phoenix mission to measure the soil. It even kinda looks like a mini-spaceship with flower petals.

It’s easy to use, just let the Easy Bloom gather data for at least 24 hours, then plug it into your computer USB port and check out its readings and recommendations.

Its database contains the information for more than 5,000 plants. You can use that information, along with the data gathered by the Easy Bloom to diagnose any plant problems. It will help you come up with the optimal growing conditions for your situation.

For more information on the Easy Bloom Plant Sensor and some other great gardener’s gifts check out the Mother Earth’s Garden gift guide.
