Twenty Unique Christmas Plant Gifts To Spoil Your Loved Ones

Written by James, Plant Lover

Gift-giving season is almost upon us, so it’s time to think of what gifts to buy your loved ones (that aren’t socks or candles). If you’re looking for gifting ideas that are a bit more out of the box, then plants are the way forward.

Chrismas plant gifts

Why Christmas plant gifts are superior

Instead of buying something generic and predictable this year, give your loved one the gift of nature with a houseplant or two. Houseplants make perfect gifts, as they last for years and brighten up our home and mental health.

We’re all well aware that Christmas is the most wasteful holiday, with approximately £42 million of unwanted presents thrown into landfill each year. So if you want to prevent waste this festive season, choose something green and leafy! (Because what monster could possibly throw a potted plant away?)

One of the best things about gifting plants is the variety; for example, if you’re buying for a beginner, shop our unkillable range, or if you’re buying for someone that loves flowers, shop our flowering range.
