Given the inevitable rain, snow, mud and other general unpleasantness that comes with a British winter, wellington boots are an absolutely essential when it comes to gardening during these months. They can make a great present for a keen gardener, or for someone who loves the outdoors, or as a treat to yourself to make gardening in the unpleasant weather just that little bit more bearable.
1.Joules Printed Wellies
Joules wellies are available in a wide variety of different prints and colours, which means they are sure to brighten up anyone’s gardening experience. They are also available in either ankle or calf high boots, meaning there is a style comfortable for everyone.
2.Dubarry
Dubarry boots are very much on the luxury side of wellies, verging more towards a country boot, but they would make a fantastic gift for Christmas. They are renowned for their snug fitting and are available in a variety of leg widths, meaning each person can choose their perfect fit.
3.Hunter
Hunter wellington boots are generally the go-to for comfort and durability, and their Balmoral Neoprene style is no different. They have a heel kick spur to aid removal and the neoprene layer means increased warmth and comfort.

As another traditionally British brand, Barbour wellies would be perfect for the traditional country gardener. They are understated, yet guaranteed to add style to any garden and available in a multitude of colours and styles to suit everyone.
5.Karrimor
