For a home chef or mixologist, fresh herbs can make all the difference and turn a good recipe into a great one. While the peak of the outdoor growing season has passed, a smart garden allows you to grow fresh greens, herbs and even some veggies all year long. 

This story is part of Gift Guide, our year-round collection of the best gift ideas.

Right now, most of AeroGarden's popular indoor smart gardens are as much as 50% during a massive sitewide sale -- one of the biggest we've seen. You can nab the popular AeroGarden Harvest Elite or Harvest Elite Slim for $120 ($86 off the normal price) or snap up a Grow Anything Seed Pod Kit (actual seeds not included) for 50% off, down to $7 right now.

So how do these things work? The control panel tells you exactly when the soil needs more water and the LED lamps provide plenty of light to grow any of the many seed pods available, no matter where in the house you stick it.

A personal anecdote on indoor gardens: I've tested a few similar indoor pod gardens and they've all worked out very well. Having fresh basil, parsley or some Bibb lettuce on hand when you need it is so nice, and the bushy greens look lovely sitting in a window. Veggies have proven to be more hit or miss, so don't expect massive vines of heirloom tomatoes within a month, but flowers will bloom and add a pop of spring color any time of year.
