When it comes to gifts for plant lovers, there are a lot of options to consider. After all, you have gardening tools, planter pots, and, of course, actual plants. So if there’s a green thumb in your life and you want to express your gratitude for their friendship and love, be sure to peep our list of garden-centric gifts. From a sizable snake plant to a set of care essentials, you have quite a few options to look through.
The great thing about gardening is that you can get into it when you’re young (or at any point in your life) and enjoy it through late adulthood because, though it can certainly be a good workout, it’s relaxing and not particularly taxing on the body. So we’ll always encourage anyone with a curiosity about the great outdoors to put down their screens and remotes and spend some time in the dirt getting to know Mother Nature in the most beautiful way possible.
With gift-giving season underway, now is the time to start your search for the perfect present that everyone on your list will actually use and love. So if you want to make your loved ones smile a little bigger this year, peep our list below and snag something special. Personally, we’re coveting the chic waist apron, dry-erase planter, and hydrangea bouquet. No matter what the gardener in your life likes, you’ll find something to suit their green-centric needs ahead.
Snake Plant Laurentii
We can all agree that rather than gifting flora, plants are hands down the better, longer-lasting option. What's more, snake plants are arguably the easiest to look after: Simply place them on a windowsill that gets plenty of sun and water them every few weeks. Yes, that's it.
Plant Propagation Tubes
For anyone with a few plants, you'll need a stylish propagator for when your greenery gets a little too big. Just snip a leaf or root, pop it in the included glass tubes with a little bit of water, and watch it grow.
Plant Care Set
Though Bloomscape sells plenty of plants and flowers, there's also a bevy of flora-specific care. This useful set comes with everything you'll need to keep your plants happy and healthy, including a mister to boost humidity, microfiber dusting gloves to keep leaves shiny and clean, and neem oil to treat pests or diseases.
Puppy Planter
With more than 3,000 five-star ratings and reviews, this adorable planter is shaped like a puppy and comes with a dry-erase marker. Though it works for everyone, it's a great gift for kids who like to doodle.
Pink Knickers Hydrangea
Anyone who doesn't want to spend a pretty penny on florals because flowers are just flowers has not yet shopped at FLOWERBX. The English retailer lets you pick your vase, number of stems, and more. Plus, all of the flowers arrive fluffy and beautiful (no crunched, wilting blooms here).

Indoor Herb Garden Starter Kit
Contrary to popular belief, there's no need to invest in a sizable outdoor garden to enjoy homegrown herbs. All you need is a little bit of counter space and a starter kit.

LED Grow Bulb
Upgrade your typical purple grow lights with these special bulbs, which feature the balanced spectrum of light plants need without sacrificing the look and feel of your space's style.

Cabello Ceramic Pot Planter, Set of 3
Though it may be hard to tell, these ceramic pots feature a subtle color block design that makes them look elevated and modern. What's more, none of them are the same size, so you can fill each one with a different plant.
Sequoia Hook Pillow

Okay, how cute is this fridge magnet that's no bigger than a shot glass? Since there's no drainage, we suggest popping in a succulent (or any other plant that doesn't get too thirsty).

Blooming Lollipops
These lollipops aren't your average sugary sweets. Here's how it works: Enjoy them like a lollipop, but when the treat is finished, don't throw out the stick! Instead, submerge it in soil (it's filled with seeds!) and watch it turn into a beautiful and bountiful plant.
