There are many things to buy a gardener but not that many that make cool gifts. There is a new gardening innovation that I have found which affordable, fun to use, and practical is. The gardening gift that I am talking about is a self winding hose reels sink combination. I found this product while searching the web for a gardening gift and have read nothing but great reviews. Here is one of the best ones:

"This is one of the best products we have ever bought! The assembly was very easy - the directions clear and simple. Nothing on the hose reel ever leaked. When you want to use the hose, the winding hose reels winding mechanism does not hinder unwinding and the hose pulls out easily; when you are done with the hose, the hose reel rewinds it easily and smoothly for you every time! You can even change the speed of the rewind by turning the water on more or less as you wish! It has both a strainer for the sink opening and a stopper, both of which worked very well. I used the sink for the vegetables from my garden. I would fill the sink and place the vegetables, including lettuce, in it and let the "little passengers" swim to the top. Then I could bring the vegetables into the house with no uninvited guests. They were already nice and clean as well. I also used it for potting up plants and washing my hands outdoors without having to take time to walk into the house (and track in grass clippings, etc.) Much better than the hose -- you can wash one each hand with the other."

That review convinced to order my hose reel and sink combination right away. Once it arrived in the mail I had to put it together immediately. Even thought there is over a foot of snow on the ground I can't wait to take my new hose reel outside and hook it up to the faucet. I will now be the only person on the block with an outdoor sink.
