Have a planty holiday!
Hooray, December has arrived, and you know what that means—Christmas is sneaking up on us faster than a cat on a laser pointer! If you’ve got a garden guru or someone itching to get their thumbs a little greener, here are some plantastic gift ideas for your leafy-loving pals!
Propagation Stations
For the friend who’s all about propagating plants like a botanical wizard, a propagation station is a gift that keeps on giving! You can whip one up at home with glass jars or plastic tubs—anything that can cradle those delicate cuttings. Or, if crafting isn’t your jam, just snag one from a shop!
2. Houseplant Tools in a Basket
Know someone who’s got houseplants but no tools? Time to rescue their plants from a life of neglect! Gift them a basket of essentials: a soil moisture meter to help them avoid the dreaded overwatering, a potting mat to catch all that messy magic, and a soil scoop to make their plant-parenting life a breeze!
3. Plant-Themed Items
This is a treasure trove of possibilities! From quirky wooden houseplant earrings (shoutout to plantposse art!) to disco balls and crystal sun catchers that transform any space into a magical jungle, the options are endless. And if you’ve got a friend with a sense of humor, look for pots and tees with hilarious slogans like, “Pot head” or “Sometimes I wet my plants”—because who doesn’t love a good pun? Oh, and beautifully illustrated houseplant puzzles are a must-have for the plant-lover’s collection!
4. A Beginner Houseplant in a Decorative Pot with a Houseplant Care Book
Know someone itching to dip their toes into the plant world? Get them started with an easy-care houseplant like a spider plant or pothos, pop it in a cute pot, and throw in a beginner's guide. They’ll be on their way to becoming a plant parent in no time!
5. Houseplant Toys
For those who treat their home like a jungle paradise and are always on the hunt for more green buddies, these mini houseplant toys are pure gold! Brands like Miniverse, Toki Doki and Minibrands offer blind box toys that are all about that garden vibe. I’ve got a mini Birds of Paradise chilling next to the real deal—talk about plant parent goals! We also cannot forget to add houseplant legos to this list. They make so many awesome botanical sets. Or if you love collecting stuffed animals, Jelly Cat makes stuffed houseplants to cuddle with. So many adorable awesome products in this list!
Happy Holidays and may your plants flourish and bring joy to your home!
