Put whatever you would like on this beautiful natural stone. It is sealed, stenciled and treated for outdoor use with three durable coats of UV-protectant sealer. At just about $6 each, these are a brilliant way to keep track of young and easily-confused plants.

We especially love these for indicating specific varieties of thyme, oregano, basil, mint and other yum-worthy herbs.

How adorable is this dog crossing stone for pup-filled homes? We love the practical charm it lends to all sorts of gardens. Use it as an accent piece or a literal stepping stone. The 9-5/8” diameter makes this a viable option for both uses.

It also includes hardware on the back for hanging on your wall or patio. At under $25, it’s also an affordable gift for women in their 20s.

Eye-catching colors, whimsical design and a girthy 9.5 inch diameter make this garden stone for grandmothers a must-have. It’s a heavy piece, so it promises to stay put during storm season (and if Fido likes to paw at things).
