Gift giving can be tricky, so we’ve tried to make it easier with our Dunster House gift guide. Want to avoid another necklace or a gadget destined for the junk drawer? If you’re tired of the same old options, it’s time to think outside the box… or rather, outside the house. Garden buildings are the ultimate personal and practical gift, tailored to your loved one’s lifestyle and passions. Whether they’re a certified green-thumbed or a weekend woodworker, there’s a garden building that’s perfect for them.
For the Gardener: The Potting Shed
Give plant parents the gift of year-round gardening. A potting shed offers a warm, dry space to nurture seedlings, store tools, and keep the garden tidy. It’s the perfect blend of function and charm, ideal for those who find joy in being surrounded by plants. What better choice could there be than the Overlord Potting Shed? With 15mm tongue and groove cladding, 4mm toughened glass, and our 10 year guarantee on pressure treated timber the Overlord Potting Shed is the perfect place to shield your delicate plants.
For the Hard Worker: The Garden Office
Remote work just got an upgrade. A garden office creates a dedicated workspace that’s free from household distractions. It cuts the commute, boosts productivity, and allows your loved one to focus on work at work and home at home, helping them maintain a healthy work-life balance. Plus, it’s a stylish way to reclaim some peace and quiet. None are more stylish than our range of Dominator Garden Offices, with a range of versions from pressure treated, to composite to our original timber there is a fantastic option for any garden aesthetic.
For the Entertainer: The Garden Bar
Why go out when you can bring the party home? A garden bar or pub shed is a dream come true for social butterflies. It’s always ready to host guests, whether it’s a summer BBQ or a cosy winter gathering. Our Hangover Bars are – as is the case with many of our product – much loved as can be seen by our multiple Trustpilot reviews. With all that said cheers to good times in your own back garden!
For the Nature Lover: Pergola or Gazebo
Surround them with nature in every season. A pergola or glazed gazebo offers panoramic views while providing shelter from the elements. It’s a serene space to enjoy the crisp air of autumn, the bloom of spring, or the quiet beauty of winter. Our garden shelters are carefully crafted by our expert in-house design team to be perfect for enjoying your garden.
For the Craftsperson: Workshop or Log Cabin
Whether they’re into painting, woodworking, or DIY projects, a dedicated workshop or log cabin is a creative haven. It’s a space to focus, build, and create, far from the distractions of daily life. The best bit – you can start creating with the DIY garden building.
For the Car Enthusiast: Garage or Carport
Help them protect their pride and joy – their vehicles. A garage or carport shields vehicles from the elements and offers secure storage for tools and gear. It’s a practical gift that speaks to their passion. For those who love to tinker, it may be worth considering a log cabin-gazebo such as our Assassin range, which allows for both shelter and a workshop.
For the All-Rounder: The Log Cabin
Versatile, stylish, and endlessly adaptable, a log cabin suits just about anyone. It can be a reading room, a gym, a studio, or a bar. If you’re not sure what they need, the log cabin is a safe – and spectacular – bet. Our log cabins would make an especially good gift considering the convenience of avoiding planning permission in most cases and our simple DIY system.
Garden buildings aren’t just for special occasion they’re durable enough for years of use and the quality materials allow for year-round enjoyment and comfort. A garden buildings as gifts show thought, care, and a deep understanding of what makes someone tick. So this year, skip the predictable and give a gift that shows you truly know them.
