For this Friday's edition of gift ideas for under ten dollars I've decided to mix it up a bit and included two diy - craft projects, one is practically free to make and so easy even your kids can do it - so save this one if you like doing projects with your kids.Â
Don't worry, if you'd rather buy I've found a great website with quality markers for you.
Garden gifts for all your garden friends, including all patio owners, balcony dwellers and front or back porch sitters.
 This is # 4 in this series
Cool Gifts for Ten Dollars and under
Since I'm a passionate gardener myself I have a long wish list, and some things I'd love to have are just too expensive and some might say frivolous, it's exciting to find an easy, inexpensive and highly useful project.
For the herb gardener
one of the most
clever and pretty diy projects ever!
Practically free - frugalistas rejoice!
Would you believe all you need are wire coat hangers and orange juice can lids and a couple of beads? Â
I love this fabulous do it yourself project,
it's beautiful, it's fun and
best of all it is very easy to do.

For those of you who like to purchase their gifts on line:
Check out www.gardenmarkers.com for a great variety of quality garden markers. I liked their fairy garden markers, plastic - 10 markers for $3.25, now that's a good deal!
I hope you've enjoyed this weeks edition of Rose's gift guide for
Cool Gifts under Ten Dollars!
I think we've knocked it out of the park this week with keeping the cost under ten bucks, who knew plant markers could be this cool, durable and inexpensive.
See you next week with more cool gift ideas for ten dollars and under!

I also find them useful for all the weird herbs I try - got some Australian ones last year at a plant fair, a peppery sort of cilantro/parsley and a couple of others that didn't make it. I do like to know where I got them and where to get more, sure wish I had that info now.
Sometimes I even keep a garden journal and I do want to know exactly what that heirloom tomato was called in case Richard likes it - I'll save the seeds and have the right name.
Then there's always a plant or two, from flowers to bushes I end up with from the herbalists or the university student gardens or the rare plant society. I do need to mark those in case I want more or want to harvest the seeds for me and my garden friends.
Thank you for sharing with The Triple Name Club.
Congratulations!

I love both ideas, but very, very small garden so the copper ones would fit better in my containers. Only problem - I've used Sharpies to mark stakes. I get dark something on the white background by the end of summer with Sharpies. (I water directly every night, so even the Sharpies fade away.) Are "paint markers" more enduring, and assuming Yes, where do I get them?
Thanks for sharing with Angels on Pillows.
Thank you, Rose
