Plant gifts
Are you looking for the perfect Christmas gift that won’t be exchanged or regifted? Then there’s no need to keep digging for ideas because you’ve found what you seek–plants! Plant gifts are simple and affordable, and there’s something out there to suit everybody’s needs or preferences. For the person that can’t go a month without jetting off on holiday, our unkillable range is perfect. Or how about our pet-friendly range for the animal lover in your life? The right plant can bring someone years of joy. And what is Christmas without joy?
Why plant gifts are superior
Indoor plants are more popular than ever, and this interior jungle craze is not showing any signs of fizzling out. Plants are simply the greatest decor items you can have around the home; they boost your mood, add colour, depth and texture to a room, make you more productive, and purify the air. Can an expensive painting do the same? We didn’t think so! Your loved ones will be over the moon to receive a leafy friend this festive season.
Flowers are popular gifts at Christmas. But instead of spending your money on a bouquet that’s going to wither within a week, how about investing in something that can grow with each season? Plants like the fiddle leaf fig and the bird of paradise can last for decades under the right care.
Houseplants are also an eco-friendly alternative to cut flowers. Sure, flowers are beautiful, but behind the showy blooms, there’s a hefty environmental impact. The cut flower industry has a shocking carbon footprint and water footprint, and that’s not even touching on the land use or pesticide use. At The Stem, we source our plants locally wherever we can to cut those unnecessary travel emissions out of the equation. We also plant a tree with every order placed with the help of Eden Projects and donate a percentage of sales to environmental nonprofits with the help of 1% for the Planet. By supporting companies fighting for the planet, you can make the holidays a much greener occasion.
We assure you the idea of plants as gifts will grow on you–if it hasn’t done so already. Think about it, would you be disappointed if you received a flourishing, stunning plant like the pink moth orchid? Or a swiss cheese plant with mammoth statement leaves that would brighten up any room? Everyone has a soft spot for houseplants–even those responsible for more plant casualties than they can count.
