Gift Guide for the Plant People in Your Life

Dec 16

Holiday gifting for plant lovers can feel like a treasure hunt guessing game about what will make their leafy heart sing. Whether your person is a seasoned gardener or more of a “plants as pretty companions” type, there’s something magical about finding a gift that reflects the way they care for their space. This guide brings together a curated mix of chic tools, thoughtful accessories, and design-forward pieces that feel as special as the plants they love. Think functional, beautiful, and just a little bit indulgent. From sculptural watering cans to vintage gems and artful no-maintenance options, every pick has been chosen with intention. So whether you’re shopping for someone else or treating yourself, consider this your shortcut to gifts that offer joy long after the holidays are over.

For the Hands-On Gardener

For the plant lover who’s happiest with soil under their nails, these gifts are all about making the work feel good. A durable canvas garden apron keeps everything within reach (and actually looks chic while doing it). Pair it with a houseplant survival kit and some sharp, well-balanced pruning shears for those weekly care sessions. And if they’re still guessing when to water? A long-probe moisture meter takes the mystery out of the whole process.

Functional Art: Watering cans that make a statement

These aren’t just your average watering cans. They’re sculptural little moments that elevate even the most mundane plant chores. A boucle stoneware option doubles as décor in its own right, while colored glass can brings a soft, modern elegance. Can’t forget an option for the drama queens in our lives. These vessels are perfect for anyone whose home style is just as curated as their foliage.

Unique planters for your favorite botanical buddy

Plants deserve a home that feels as special as they are, and these planters deliver personality in all the right ways. Think architectural silhouettes, warm stoneware textures, and even a candle-turned-planter that gives you a two-for-one moment. Whether it's a statement piece from West Elm or a hand-cast pot with serious presence, each option brings a touch of quiet luxury to any room. Consider it a little upgrade both you and your plant will appreciate.

Accessories to make your plants thrive in style

For the plant parent who loves a thoughtful detail, these accessories add both function and a bit of flair. Brass supports and sculptural plant sticks keep stems lifted and looking sharp while also acting like tiny pieces of art. A classic brass mister turns a quick spritz into a small ritual. Chic, useful, and totally giftable.

Rare finds for the vintage lover

This set is for the collector, the friend who lights up at a good thrift-store score or a perfectly aged book spine. A 1979 houseplant guide brings all the retro charm (and surprisingly solid advice), while the Plantasia vinyl sets the mood for slow mornings surrounded by leaves. Add a leafy jigsaw puzzle for a cozy, analog moment that feels delightfully old-school. It’s nostalgia, but make it botanical.

Plants with no soil necessary

For the plant lover who wants the joy without the mess, these gifts celebrate growth in its simplest form. An avocado vase turns a discarded pit into a tiny science-project-sculpture, while large air plants make a statement all on their own. A beautifully crafted hanging propagation station adds greenery to any corner. Effortless, clean, and surprisingly magical.

Art Prints for no maintenance foliage

When someone loves plants but doesn’t always love the upkeep, botanical art is the perfect workaround. These prints capture the shapes and moods of iconic greenery—think bold monstera leaves and dreamy graphic compositions. Low commitment, high impact, and endlessly stylish.
