Good tools make every task easier - whether you're pruning crape myrtles in the backyard, scrubbing bathroom tiles, or washing your hands after repotting plants. At Pixies Gardens, we've added three carefully selected tools to our store that cover real needs in your home and garden.
Here's the honest breakdown: two of these tools are home appliances (the soap dispenser and spin scrubber that work beautifully indoors) and one is a dedicated garden and yard tool (the electric pruner). But all three were chosen because gardeners specifically need them - and we think you'll love each one
Home Appliances: Smarter Tools for Inside Your Home
These two products are home appliances first - but as any gardener knows, the work doesn't stop at the back door. From potting rooms to garage sinks to kitchen counters, these tools solve everyday problems that gardeners run into constantly.
1. Automatic Touchless Foaming Soap Dispenser
Every gardener knows the scenario: hands covered in soil, fertilizer, or plant sap - and you need to wash up without touching the soap pump. The Automatic Touchless Soap Dispenser solves this completely. Wave your hand underneath the sensor and get a perfectly dispensed amount of soap - no pump handle, no cross-contamination, no mess.
Key Features
• Touchless infrared sensor: Activates instantly - just wave your hand. Works even with gloved hands.
• Foam compatible: Works with liquid soap, foam soap, and hand sanitizer.
• Adjustable dispense volume: Control how much soap per use - no waste.
• USB rechargeable: No batteries to replace - charge with standard USB cable.
• Waterproof base: Designed for sink areas and wet environments.
• Sleek matte white design: Looks great in kitchen, bathroom, or garage.
Perfect For Gardeners — Where to Place It
• Potting bench or garden shed: Wash off fertilizer, pesticides, or soil without touching the pump with dirty hands.
• Kitchen sink: After harvesting garden produce, handling compost, or working with plants.
• Garage entry: First stop before entering the house after yard work.
• Bathroom: Hygienic everyday use for the whole family.
2. Electric Spin Scrubber with Extendable Handle & 5 Brush Heads
The Electric Spin Scrubber is technically a home appliance - but for gardeners, it might be even more useful outdoors than indoors. Bathroom tiles, garden pots, outdoor furniture, stone paths, greenhouse glass - this one tool handles all of it without scrubbing by hand.
The extendable handle means you reach ground-level plant pots without bending, floor tiles without kneeling, and high bathroom walls without straining. The motor spins the brush - you just guide it.
Key Features
• 5 interchangeable brush heads: Round brush, flat pad, corner brush, sponge - covers every surface.
• Extendable telescoping handle: Adjusts for full reach - no bending or kneeling.
• Cordless USB-C rechargeable: No cords to deal with - works outdoors freely.
• Waterproof rated: Fully safe for wet use - soap, water, outdoor conditions.
• High-speed rotation: Powers through algae, mineral deposits, soap scum, and soil stains.
Indoor Uses
• Bathroom tiles and grout: Removes soap scum and mildew 10x faster than manual scrubbing.
• Shower walls and floor: Reach corners and edges with the extendable handle.
• Kitchen backsplash: Grease and grime off tile without harsh chemicals.
• Bathtub and sink: Power through hard water stains and mineral deposits.
Outdoor & Garden Uses
• Terracotta and ceramic pots: Remove algae and white mineral crust - pots look brand new.
• Outdoor furniture: Metal chairs, resin tables, teak benches - spring-clean in minutes.
• Stone pathways and pavers: Scrub away moss and algae without pressure washer.
• Greenhouse panels: Keep glass clean for maximum sunlight - critical for plant health.
• Deck and patio: Concrete, wood, composite - all cleaned without knee pain
Garden & Yard Tool: Smarter Pruning for Your Outdoor Space
This one is for the garden - specifically, for anyone who prunes trees, shrubs, roses, or any woody plant. Manual pruning shears and loppers do the job, but they wear your hands and wrists out fast - especially during spring pruning season when there's a lot to cut.
3. 20V Cordless Electric Pruner - Brushless Garden Branch Cutter - $98.95
The 20V Cordless Electric Pruner is the single most useful power tool a home gardener can own. It replaces manual pruning shears AND loppers, cuts branches up to 28mm thick with one squeeze, and runs on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
At Pixies Gardens, we work with plants every single day - and hand fatigue from manual pruning is real. This tool eliminates that problem. Whether you're pruning a single rose bush or an entire orchard of fruit trees, the electric pruner makes the work faster, easier, and cleaner.
Key Features
• Brushless motor: More power, longer life, and quieter than brushed motor pruners.
• 28mm cutting capacity: Handles branches up to 1.1 inches - covers 95% of home garden pruning tasks.
• 20V Makita-compatible battery: Works with existing Makita tool batteries you may already own.
• LED display: Shows real-time battery level and cut count - no surprise power failures.
• Double-trigger safety switch: Prevents accidental activation - safe for extended use.
• Ergonomic anti-slip grip: Reduces wrist fatigue during long pruning sessions.
• Fixed + movable blade: Clean cuts that heal faster and reduce disease entry points.

This pruner works on every plant we carry at Pixies Gardens - and most plants in a typical Georgia yard:
• Crape Myrtles: Annual cane pruning and deadheading without sawing thick branches.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the home appliance tools and the garden tool?
The Touchless Soap Dispenser and Electric Spin Scrubber are home appliances - designed primarily for indoor use in kitchens and bathrooms, though both work excellently outdoors too. The 20V Cordless Electric Pruner is a dedicated garden and yard tool for cutting branches, pruning trees, and maintaining outdoor plants.
Q: Can the spin scrubber be used on outdoor garden pots?
Yes - the spin scrubber is fully waterproof and ideal for outdoor garden pots, stone pathways, outdoor furniture, and greenhouse panels. It's one of the best tools for cleaning terracotta pots before spring replanting.
Q: Is the electric pruner good for crape myrtle trees?
Absolutely. The 20V Electric Pruner handles crape myrtle annual pruning very well — it cuts through canes up to 28mm cleanly and quickly. For thicker structural cuts, a pruning saw is still needed, but 95% of crape myrtle pruning is well within this tool's capacity.
Q: What batteries does the 20V electric pruner use?
The pruner is compatible with Makita-style 20V lithium-ion batteries. If you already own Makita cordless tools, your existing batteries will work directly.
Q: Does the 20V electric pruner come with a battery included?
Yes, absolutely! When you purchase the 20V Cordless Electric Pruner from Pixies Gardens, one rechargeable lithium-ion battery is included in the package along with the charger.
Q: Are these good gift ideas for gardeners?
All three tools make excellent gifts - especially the Electric Pruner for Mother's Day or Father's Day for anyone who maintains a yard, orchard, or garden. The soap dispenser is a practical gift that any homeowner appreciates.
Q: How fast does Pixies Gardens ship?
