Gathering – Setting the Natural Table

A beautiful coffee table book, both inside and out. This time is all about setting a beautiful tablescape – whether you’re hosting a group or dining alone.

Gingham Tablecloth

Gingham has gone chic, and this tablecloth from Heather Taylor Home is a favorite amongst Yardzen staffers. The classic print is perfect for any occasion. Underfoot, consider this beautiful outdoor gingham rug from Serena & Lily.

Over The Table Rod

This over-the-table rod from Terrain elevates any outdoor dining table. Add string lights and foraged finds from the yard to create a warm and whimsical scene.

Tabletop Mesa Fire Pit

The Mesa is Solo Stove’s newest addition to their family of fire pits. Perfectly sized for adorning the tabletop, the Mesa sets the scene for after-dinner drinks and smores. Consider this Peppermint Smores Kit for a holiday flair.

Fresh Magnolia And Eucalyptus Wreath

A beautiful arrangement of fresh-cut magnolia branches and eucalyptus picked from the Northern California foothills. This wreath is handcrafted and made to order so you can enjoy the earthy, crisp textures of the outdoors in your decor this season.

Sunset Teak Outdoor Lounge Chair

The Sunset Outdoor Lounge Chair from Crate & Barrel is one of Yardzen’s most popular chairs, and for good reason. The neutral style and tones fit beautifully in any style yard, and the plush, low-slung frame makes this chair so comfortable that you won’t ever want to go inside.

Matte Black Lantern

Add instant ambience to any outdoor entertainment with these high-quality, low-price lanterns from Terrain.

Angled Obelisk Chiminea

This beautiful fireplace in raw, weathering corten steel has enough star power to serve as the centerpiece of any outdoor entertaining scene. Complete the gift with a canvas log carrier.

Spark Grill Essentials Pack

Spark Grills has grown a cult following thanks to their easy-to-use, all-in-one charcoal grill. Set the temperature from 250 all the way up to 900 to cook anything from slow-cooking meats to high-heat pizzas.

Pi Pizza Oven

We love Solo Stove’s Pi Pizza Oven so much that our co-founders did a photoshoot for the launch! Pictured here in Adam and Allison’s Mill Valley yard, this multi-fuel (wood and propane) oven makes a crispy, thin-crust pizza to die for! Plus, just like all things Solo Stove, it’s easy to move and store away. And, don’t forget the condiments! We love Brightland Olive Oil and this Spicy Honey.

Enamel Dinnerware & Serveware

Jenni Kayne and Lulu & Georgia both offer beautiful options for backyard-friendly serving and dining. Gone are the days of bright-colored campware (although, we love that too!); these pieces come in timeless neutrals that work beautifully inside and out.

Six Seasons – A New Way With Vegetables

This beautiful cookbook honors the bounty of the garden with simple recipes that celebrate terroir. Consider adding a shitake mushroom log to the gift for some homegrown umami.

Bistrot Flatware Set of 5

Classic, high-quality, long-lasting silverware that imparts the feeling of an elevated campout.

Barbecue Multi Tool

When it comes to grilling, the many pieces of cookware can quickly become overwhelming and hard-to-store. For that reason, we love this “King of the Grill” tool, which includes a spatula, fork, brush, corkscrew, and bottle opener. Plus, it comes in a beautiful gift box!

Trestle Teak Table

Don’t forget the outdoor dining table for all of those backyard meals! Explore more of our favorite outdoor dining tables in our shop.

Vego Garden Bed

We recently discovered Vego garden beds, and they have quickly become our go-to recommendation for easy outdoor raised beds.

Tomato Seed Ornament

Any edible gardener would love this adorable tomato seed ornament!

Hunter Garden Clogs

These splurge-worthy garden clogs are both classic and comfortable. The gardener on your list will love you for this fashionable and functional footwear. Don’t forget a boot brush, and consider adding in a woven sun hat to complete the ensemble.

Kid’s Gardening Gear

Dutch gardening company, Snoeber (since 1913!), makes heirloom-quality garden tools for kids and adults alike. We especially love their children’s line, like this trowel and this spade, which will not only last a lifetime (unlike most kids tools, which are plastic and break easily), they look beautiful even when strewn about the yard. Plus, get kids excited about gardening with this beautiful book, “In the Garden” Picture Book.

Bulldog Hand Tool Gift Set

A complete set of classic gardening tools made of ash wood and hunter green steel. Plus, throw in this matching spade, pocket snips, and utility apron to ensure that the gardener in your life is ready for next year’s planting season.

Felco Pruner

Felco pruners are the gold standard in pruning shears– used by many of the gardeners and pros on staff at Yardzen.

The Complete Gardeners Guide

An artfully photographed and illustrated book that looks beautiful on a coffee table or potting bench.

Oversized Garden Cotton Bandana

A richly colored, garden-inspired bandana perfect for wearing or displaying. Consider this watercolor florals bandana, too.

Lavender Gardener’s Salve

This richly scented salve made from California coast lavender is a treat for tired hands.

Arbequina Olive Tree in Metal Pot

Freshen up your home with a living tree. This beautiful Spanish Arbequina olive tree will thrive in a south facing room with eight or more hours of light. Also consider a key lime tree (yum!). Or, for ease, consider a faux olive tree.

Houseplant From The Sill

The Sill is our go-to source for healthy and happy house plants delivered right to your door! Choose from their wide selection of indoor plants, including unique species like the Aloe Christmas Carol. Add a watering globe or terracotta irrigation cones to take the guesswork out of watering.

Houseplant Puzzle & Care Cards

Beautiful stocking stuffers for the houseplant-obsessed (guilty!).
