I saw one yesterday, at Wisley. It was on a barrow of tools, mostly spades, or rakes, but there was one of these.Seeing one at Wisley is a recommendation, but there was only one among all the stacks of tools we saw. (It was lunch time!)

It looked ok, but not as good as a wide-toothed plastic rake for raking up leaves. it was plastic, but polycarbonate is pretty unbreakable. I couldn't tell how strong it is, or how much weight it would hold. It might be really good for scooping up windfalls and just getting the fruit and not much else.

It depends what uses the recipient would have for it, but unless it sounds as if it would fill a real need I'd be wary of spending that much.
