5 Creative Gift Ideas for Plant Lovers (that aren't just another houseplant)

We all know that one person who can’t resist adding “just one more plant” to their collection . But when it comes to gift-giving, another pothos or snake plant might not feel all that original. If you’re looking for something thoughtful, creative, and still totally planty, here are five ideas that will make any plant lover smile.

1. DIY Succulent Terrarium Kit

Instead of giving a finished plant, give the experience of creating one! Our DIY Succulent Terrarium Kit comes with everything you need—live succulents, glass terrarium, soil layers, crystals, even a mini shovel—to build a custom little ecosystem. It’s beginner-friendly, fun, and doubles as a cozy activity for a night in

2. Plant-Themed Candles or Soaps

Think scents like eucalyptus, lavender, or even cactus blossom. A candle or handmade soap that channels the vibe of a greenhouse makes a sweet, low-maintenance gift.

3. Botanical Art Prints or Decor

For plant lovers who are out of shelf space, a botanical print, macramé wall hanging, or leafy throw pillow keeps the plant vibes alive—without needing watering.

4. Unique Planters

Skip the basic nursery pot. Look for quirky planters shaped like animals, faces, or geometric designs. (Pro tip: our mobile shop is full of handmade concrete pots that always turn heads ).

5. A Plant Experience

Instead of a physical item, give a memory. Sign them up for a plant workshop, or plan a planty outing like visiting a botanical garden together. Experiences stick around long after a gift is unwrapped.

So next time you need a gift for your favorite plant lover, you don’t have to default to yet another pothos. From DIY kits to experiences, there are so many creative ways to celebrate their green thumb.
