It happens every year. Your family and friends ask what you want as a gift for the holiday season, and you can’t think of a single thing! Gone are the days when we could circle half the Toys R Us catalog and hand it to our parents, hoping to get at least a few of the latest toys. Now we get excited about new socks. Who are we? 

When it comes to your wish list as a plant lover, we’ve got some great ideas for you to ask for this season. Yes, these ideas are for YOU to receive the perfect plant lover’s gift, but we don’t mind if you use them as a checklist for your plant loving buddies as well. Move over, socks. There’s a new gift list in town. 

Plant Artwork: This original print from Libby VanderPloeg is the perfect piece of art to hang in your wild interior. It details the type of watering care each different plant needs. How many of the plants do you have already? 

Watering Bulbs: Simply use a wine bottle with these ingenious terra cotta clay watering stakes for a new take on the water bulb with less risk of breakage. These may do better in larger pots or planters since they are a good 2.25” in diameter and will take up a lot of space in a 5” plant.

Macrame Plant Hanger Kit: Create your own Macrame Plant Hanger with this kit from Etsy. It comes with enough cotton cord to follow the instructions and create an intricate wall hanging plant holder. If you’d rather get a finished Macrame Hanger, we certainly recommend ours from the Wild Interiors collection! 

Birth Month Flower Kit: This super cute kit from Uncommon Goods comes with a glass container, growing medium, and seeds to grow your birth flower. This is a great idea for someone who usually keeps potted plants and could use a little burst of color for the spring. Once the flowers die, you can wash out the container and use it as a vase. 

Plant Themed Jewelry: In the same vein as the Birth Month Flower Kit, why not wear a preserved bloom from your birth flower on a necklace? Mix and match to represent every flower you enjoy, not just your birth flower!

Gardening Tools: This kit of gardening tools and gloves is perfect for indoor and outdoor gardeners alike. Just be sure to sterilize the shears between uses if you are pruning to avoid introducing bacteria or fungi to your plant.  

Botanical Garden Membership: Find the nearest botanical garden or arboretum in your area and ask for an annual membership! The Cleveland Botanical Garden offers reciprocal admission to over 300 gardens in the United States, and your local garden might offer a similar benefit. (Planning a botanical garden road trip is #goals). 

Grow Light: Set your plants up for a happier, healthier winter now that the sun is a long lost memory and we have to wait months for it to come back. (Sad face). Getting enough sunshine for you and your plants is tough in the winter, but a light can help your leafy friends make it through.
