Last week, we shone the spotlight on 12 Cracking Christmas Stocking Stuffers for Under £50 – perfect little surprises for gardeners and DIY fans. This time, we’re stepping things up a notch. If you’re shopping for someone special, who really loves their garden tools and machinery, these 12 larger (but still sensibly priced) gifts are a brilliant way to make Christmas morning feel extra special.

From clever cordless gadgets to serious kit for lawn care and landscaping, each of these ideas has been handpicked to delight anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors with the right tools in their hands…

1) STIHL GTA 26 Cordless Pruner – Big Power in a Compact Package

The STIHL GTA 26 is a brilliant little cordless tool for anyone who loves keeping on top of pruning and small cutting jobs. Its 10 cm guide bar and specialist chain make quick work of branches and kindling, while the flexible protective hood keeps things safe without blocking your view. Lightweight and comfortable, with a rubberised handle and simple LED display, this battery pruner is very easy to live with. Available either as a shell-only tool (perfect for existing STIHL AS System users) or as a complete kit with battery, charger and carry bag, it’s a very giftable package.

2) Husqvarna 135 Mark II Petrol Chainsaw – A Serious Step Up for Firewood and Trees

The Husqvarna 135 Mark II is a real treat for anyone who cuts their own firewood or needs to fell smaller trees around the garden. Its X-TORQ® engine offers plenty of power while keeping fuel use and emissions in check, and Smart Start® technology makes it far easier to use than many older saws. LowVib® anti-vibration dampers help protect hands and arms, while the inertia-activated chain brake puts safety to the fore. With a 35 cm bar and side-mounted chain tensioning included too, the Husky 135 Mk2 is a capable, modern saw that makes a cutting-edge Christmas present.

3) STIHL SHA 56 Cordless Blower & Vacuum Shredder – Two Tools in One Clever Package

The STIHL SHA 56 is ideal for anyone who likes a tidy garden but doesn’t want multiple machines cluttering the shed. It works as both a leaf blower and vacuum shredder, clearing debris into piles before sucking and shredding it into a 40-litre bag for easy disposal or composting. Light, comfortable and easy to adjust, it features variable speed control and an ergonomic handle with padded shoulder strap. Switching between blower and vacuum modes is quick and tool-free. Supplied as a promotional kit with two AK 20 batteries and a charger included in the price, this STIHL tool is ready to go straight out of the box.

4) Husqvarna 215iHD45 & 215iL Cordless Trimmer Set – A Complete Trimming and Hedging Kit

This Husqvarna trimming set is a great all-round gift for keeping both lawn edges and hedges in shape. The grass trimmer offers a generous 31 cm cutting width for tackling long grass and borders, while the hedge trimmer’s double-sided 45 cm blade handles thicker growth cleanly and efficiently. Both tools use powerful brushless motors and a lightweight, ergonomic design that’s easy to manoeuvre around the garden. A specialist savE™ mode helps extend battery runtime on longer jobs, and the automatic shutdown feature adds peace of mind. With battery and charger included, it’s an excellent cordless starter set for anyone who takes pride in their garden’s appearance.

5) STIHL RLA 240 Cordless Scarifier (Promo Kit) – A Healthier Lawn Made Simple

The STIHL RLA 240 is a fantastic gift for anyone keen to improve the health of their lawn. Designed for smaller areas, it runs on STIHL’s AK battery system, giving cable-free freedom and low operating noise. It comes with two working attachments: fixed blades for deeper scarifying and a spring tine roller for gentler combing of moss and thatch. Working depth is easy to adjust, while the robust yet lightweight housing and smooth-running wheels make the machine very simple to handle. A 50-litre collector box reduces trips to the compost heap, and the two AK 20 batteries included in the kit provide ample running time.

6) Segway Navimow i105E Robotic Mower – High-Tech Luxury for the Lawn

For a seriously special present, the Segway Navimow i105E brings cutting-edge tech to everyday lawn care. Using virtual boundaries instead of physical wire, it’s far simpler to set up than many robot mowers, and quietly maintains lawns up to 500 m². EFLS 2.0, with RTK positioning and AI vision, maps the garden precisely and helps the robot avoid obstacles. Cutting height is easily adjusted, while low noise levels keep the peace in suburban gardens. Through the Navimow app, your recipient can set mowing zones, schedules and routes, then let the mower recharge itself automatically. It’s a true ‘set and forget’ robotic mower—the perfect gift for anyone who loves their lawn but values their free time.

7) STIHL ASA 20 Cordless Secateurs – Precision Pruning at the Touch of a Trigger

The STIHL ASA 20 Cordless Secateurs are ideal for gardeners who enjoy detailed pruning work. Powered by an AS 2 battery, they can cut green material up to 25 mm in diameter while remaining impressively light and comfortable. The progressive cutting function lets the blade follow the trigger movement for precise, controlled cuts, and two blade opening settings speed up work on thinner branches. A clear OLED display shows battery level, cut count and blade setting in real time. With up to 2,000 cuts per charge and kit or shell-only options, this is a premium yet practical gift for green-fingered experts and budding gardeners alike.

8) EGO MHSC2002E Cordless Multi-Tool Kit – One Powerhead, Many Possibilities

The EGO MHSC2002E is a superb ‘do-it-all’ cordless kit for the keen gardener. A powerful brushless motor in the main powerhead drives a full suite of attachments, including a line trimmer, brushcutter blade, long-reach hedge trimmer, pole saw and lawn edger. Two speed settings and a quick-change coupling make it easy to switch between tasks, while the balanced design and adjustable handle keep things comfortable. Supplied with a 5.0Ah battery and rapid charger, this multi tool offers generous runtimes and fast charging. It’s a thoughtful, high-value present for anyone who wants professional-feeling kit without multiple machines clogging up their shed.

9) STIHL KOA 20 Cordless Compressor – Compact Convenience for Tyres and Inflatables

The STIHL KOA 20 Cordless Compressor is an invaluable ‘everyday helper’ for households with cars, bikes and outdoor gear. Running on a STIHL AS 2 battery, it offers portable, cable-free inflation with clear digital controls for setting your desired pressure in BAR, PSI or kPa. This premium compressor automatically stops when it reaches the set pressure, helping prevent over-inflation. Lightweight yet stable, with a soft-grip handle, rubber feet and on-board storage for nozzles, it’s easy to store in a car boot or garage. Available as the shell-only or with battery and charger, it’s a genuinely useful gift for anybody who appreciates outdoor tools.

10) Honda UMK 425 LE Petrol Brushcutter – A Trusted Workhorse for Tough Growth

The Honda UMK 425 LE is ideal for anyone facing stubborn growth, rough grass and awkward edges. Its 25 cc GX25 4-stroke engine delivers smooth, reliable power without the need for fuel mixing, running more cleanly and quietly than most alternatives. Supplied with both a tap-and-go nylon head and a metal blade, it’s ready for everything from trimming borders to tackling thick vegetation. A D-loop handle and double shoulder harness help distribute weight and keep control, while Honda’s excellent 5-year warranty underlines the tool’s durability.

The STIHL SEA 20 Cordless Handheld Vacuum is a neat solution for quick clean-ups in cars, garages and workshops. Part of the STIHL AS System, it delivers strong, consistent suction throughout the battery’s charge, backed by a two-level filter that maintains airflow while trapping dust.

The included accessories make it easy to reach tight spaces and delicate surfaces, and everything packs away into a handy storage bag. With shell-only and complete kit options, the SEA 20 is an invaluable acquisition for any household.

12) STIGA ESTATE 384 M Petrol Garden Tractor – A Big-Ticket Treat for Large Lawns
