This grow-your-own sunflower box from The Lovely Stuff Company is a simple gift that will delight even the most novice of gardeners. Grow sunflowers from seeds is becoming a popular and fun activity, and with sunflowers being one of the nation’s best-loved flowers it’s not hard to see why. I received seeds for nigella, marigold and dahlia plants and also an envelope with a mix of cottage garden plants. The process couldn’t be any easier: simply pull out the top, fill it with water and throw it onto the ground. You can also sow and grow sunflowers from seeds every few weeks throughout early spring, that means you should have a lot of cheerful sunflowers throughout the summer.

To determine some of the best options available to gardeners in the UK, we asked retailers (both independent and national) to send their top product offerings to our offices in Leeds. Another thing that I love is that all of the plants are British natives and chosen from the RHS Plants For Pollinators list, so you know that the gift you are giving is great for wildlife and for the plant itself.

Each small envelope has a lovely print of the flowers inside on the front with specific instructions for sowing the seeds for that plant over the top. Included are boxes for bats, birds and beetles, as well as the more obvious garden pollinators – bees and butterflies. Interestingly, these seeds are great for attracting bugs that hedgehogs feed on and the other seeds in the mix, such as tufted vetch and yellow rattle, provide good shelter for hedgehogs once established. These bee balls arrived with a little note reminding me to simply ‘add water, sunshine and a little time’, leaving me in no doubt that this is the perfect kit for those who want to do their bit for the bees, without any of the hassle. Some of the vegetables included in the kit include carrots, red onions, spinach and broccoli, with other common kitchen staples.

Of course, not all of these will germinate, but it’s a great gift to give to a gardener who would like to try and grow their favourite flowers from seed. What’s more, this product is handcrafted in Yorkshire – and there are subtle ways you can customise the product for a friend or family member. Another seed box option with a twist; these products contain seeds that most will never have even considered having in their garden, let alone growing from seed! The seeds in this set, as mentioned, are perhaps a little more exotic to the plants your gardening friends might already be growing. The seedballs themselves are small, round and compact, which means that when you open the tin or bag, you won’t get covered in bits of loose soil – a definite plus!
