Garden angel statues make wonderful gifts. I think garden angel statues are particularly fitting as housewarming gifts, but they're actually quite versatile. If you have a friend or loved one with a garden, or even just a front porch or lawn, garden accessories can make a perfect gift for birthdays, holidays, and even anniversaries.

If you're close to someone who is retiring, garden angel statues are smart gifts that celebrate his or her newfound freedom. Spending more time outdoors is one of the most alluring aspects of retirement. Time for travel, leisure, sports and gardening are what make the golden years golden. Help your friend or family member focus on all the positives of retirement by giving him or her the gift of garden accessories.

Garden Angel Statues and Your Special Place

I think it's best to subtly divide a good-sized garden into disparate parts. There should be the place in your garden where you eat, the place in your garden where you walk, and the place where you just sit and relax. No matter what size your garden is, try to create a private little space that is perfect for just one or two people.

You can set a small bench or chair out, so that you have a place to sit. Tuck the seating slightly out of sight, so that you have a sense of privacy. Decorate the space with something sacred to you. Now, you have just created your very own little sanctuary, your special place where you can go to daydream, lick your wounds, meditate, or just breathe in the flowers.
