How to choose the perfect plant gift
Call us biased, but we believe plants are the perfect gift at Christmas. They are so much more than just a pretty addition to a room—they’re a gift of growth, connection, and care. Giving a plant is like giving a tiny piece of nature that can brighten a home, purify the air, and bring a sense of calm. Plus, plants are a wonderful way to encourage sustainability and mindfulness, making them a thoughtful and eco-friendly choice for gift-giving.
Not sure where to start? Here are a few tips to help you pick the perfect plant present:
- Consider their lifestyle: A busy friend might appreciate a low-maintenance succulent, while someone who loves a project might enjoy a DIY kit or a more hands-on plant like a bonsai.
- Think about their space: If they live in a smaller apartment, choose compact plants like peperomias or a hanging kokedama. If they have a garden, outdoor-friendly options like the bee garden kit could be a hit.
- Make it personal: Add a thoughtful touch by including a handwritten note or a pot in their favourite colour or design.
- Match their vibe: Go for plants that suit their style—sleek and modern? Try a ZZ Plant or snake plant. Love of boho chic? A trailing pothos or monstera will fit right in.
- Factor in their experience: If they’re new to plants, pick forgiving options like a spider plant or peace lily. For seasoned green thumbs, go bold with something like a rare silver cloud or a fiddle leaf fig.
