A Gardener’s Gift Guide: For The Plant Lovers In Your Life
It’s officially the holiday season, and with that comes the daunting task of finding the perfect gifts for your loved ones. However, finding presents people will love does not have to be stressful! If you are gifting to an avid gardener, plant lover, or even just a nature enthusiast, then this gift guide is for you!
10 Christmas Gift Ideas For Green Thumbs and Nature Enthusiasts
1. Lemon & Lime Trees
Everyone loves a gift that keeps on giving… and who doesn’t love when life gives you lemons?! No, but really, though, the Meyer Lemon Tree has been on our best-sellers list for years, and for good reason! Or if you're looking for something a little more unique, you might opt for our Persian Lime Tree!
From the aesthetic appearance they bring to indoor spaces to their ease of care, citrus trees are perfect for plant experts and beginners alike! You can look forward to a mass of fragrant white blooms that persist through the fall, and of course, the sweet juicy fruits that will follow are an obvious perk!
These unique trees are extremely versatile and can be placed in various areas throughout one’s home. So long as your gift-ee has a bright sunny window and a space for growing, the lemon or lime tree will thrive in their space. With each new fruit, your gift recipient can be reminded of your thoughtfulness…and if you’re lucky, they might even return the favor with a sweet batch of lemonade!
2. Houseplant Essential Care Kit
Next on the list of great gifts for plant lovers is the We The Wild Houseplant Essential Care Kit! This kit comes with everything you need to be the best plant parent you can be. Not to mention, the festive packaging makes it perfect for immediate gifting!
The Houseplant Essentials gift set includes We The Wild’s unique Neem Oil blend, Enrich Powder for a nutrient boost, and Grow Concentrate to promote happy and healthy growth. Pair this gift with a houseplant to give your plant enthusiast the complete package!
3. A Chic Watering Can
We love a useful gift. Plants require water…both indoors and out, so why not gift your friend something they can use day in and day out? Your garden guru friend is sure to smile when they unwrap this chic silver watering can on Christmas day!
The Stainless Steel Watering Can's modern design, large square handle, and long spout make it both efficient and aesthetically pleasing to your space! This can, while built with style in mind, is also made to last. The material of the can was built to resist scratching, corrosion, and tarnishing, so it is sure to stand the test of time for your gift-ee.
4. A Topiary
With the festive spirit in mind, a Christmas tree-shaped topiary could be the perfect gift for a gardening connoisseur! Whether it be our savory scented Tuscan Blue Rosemary Topiary or our sweet scented Lemon Cypress Tree, these meticulously grown and shaped plants are sure to bring a smile to their recipients' faces!
If you’re feeling extra giving, you might even consider personalizing the topiary with ornaments and ribbon to make the topiary extra special! These are great gifts for long-distance loved ones who you can’t see in-person for the holidays.
5. Moisture Meter
A tool that every houseplant parent will appreciate is the secret weapon to knowing exactly when to water your plants! Our Rapitest Digital Moisture Meter takes the guesswork out of watering your plants. Simply insert the meter towards your plant's root systems, and if the meter reads a low level, it is time for water!
6. A Potted Houseplant
What better gift for a nature lover than a little piece of nature itself? Our collection of potted houseplants is the perfect place to shop for your loved ones. Whether you’re gifting a sophisticated Peace Lily or a more vibrant and playful Philodendron Prince of Orange, you simply can’t go wrong with a leafy gift that grows alongside your love and memories.
7. Pruners
Every gardener knows a good pair of pruners goes a long way! Consider gifting a sleek set of red pruning sheers to a gardener in your life this holiday season. Specifically, the Corona Bypass Pruner with Comfort Gel grip was made with your green thumbs in mind. The ergonomically shaped grips maximize comfort and control, and the specially coated non-stick blades provide smooth cutting performance.
8. Winter Blooms
As previously mentioned, any gardener or plant lover will be pleased with plants. As gardeners anxiously await the spring garden season, you may help to lift their spirits in the cooler months by gifting them a winter bloomer! There are great winter-blooming gift options for both indoors and out. Some delightful options include Lenten Roses or ‘Hellebores,’ Winter Heather, Cyclamen, and Christmas Cactus.
9. Seeds
For another gift that keeps on giving, give seeds to an outdoorsy loved one this holiday season! Seeds make great gifts because they are low-maintenance, meaningful, and help to support one’s local ecosystem! You can even get creative with the form in which you gift your seeds.
Some fun ideas include creating your own seed advent calendar or making your own pollinator garden seed bomb mixes! Another fun idea would be to fill a clear glass ornament with seeds so the gift doubles its purpose as unique holiday décor!
10. The Gift of Choices (With a Gift Card!)
Last but certainly not least on this list of gifting ideas for plant fanatics is the gift of choices. By gifting your loved one a Garden Goods Direct Gift Card (either physically or electronically sent), you are giving them a wide world of beautiful plants and garden goods from which to choose.
