Terra Cotta Thumb Pot Waterer

This clever little watering device has been around for centuries and is still widely used in England. To use it, just immerse it in water and wait for it to fill up. Then place your thumb over the hole in the top to create an air lock, which keeps the water in the container. When you’re ready to water, just remove your thumb from the top and a gentle shower is released from the holes in the bottom of the pot. Replace your thumb on the top and the water will stop flowing instantly. This is great for watering tender seedlings, or plants that just need extra care. $9 and up.

Swivel, Water-Powered Hose Reel

For any gardener who has a big yard, dragging the hose around isn’t nearly as bad as winding it up again. The Swivel, Water-Powered, Self-Winding Hose Reel is a great gift for anyone who dreads reeling that hose back in after a hard day of gardening. This is so easy, it’s almost fun. Just flip the lever when you’re finished watering and watch the hose start reeling back into the box on its own. It works on water pressure and effortlessly and neatly coils your hose back up into the box and out of the elements. Easily winds up to 100 feet of hose in about a minute. Use the runoff water to fill a watering can. Wall mounts are available, too. Price will vary depending on model. Available at most home improvement stores, Costco, Fred Meyer and Target.
