It may not be the right time of year to install them in some parts of the worl (you know, frozen ground and all) but the new generation of pre-assembled solar rechargeable garden lights are a pretty great gift for those who enjoy their garden.

They are pre-assembled and constructed of durable, rust proof die-cast metal to last for years. Featuring LED technology for extra-long run times, multiple LEDs for maximum brightness and special internal reflector to enhance and distribute light evenly, all you have to do is spike them into the ground and you’re good to go.

No wiring required– assembles and installs in seconds. The solar panel converts sunlight into electricity and charges the rechargeable battery during the day. At night, light turns on automatically.

Brinkmann was the brand that dominated the shelves of my local hardware superstore the last time I checked.
